गणना 3

1These are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sinai.

2And these the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.

3These the names of the sons of Aaron the priests that were anointed, and whose hands were filled and consecrated, to do the functions of priesthood.

4Now Nadab and Abiu died, without children, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the desert of Sinai: and Eleazar and Ithamar performed the priestly office in the presence of Aaron their father.

5And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

6Bring the tribe of Levi, and make them stand in the sight of Aaron the priest to minister to him, and let them watch,

7And observe whatsoever appertaineth to the service of the multitude before the tabernacle of the testimony,

8And let them keep the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in the ministry thereof.

9And thou shalt give the Levites for a gift,

10To Aaron and to his sons, to whom they are delivered by the children of Israel. But thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of priesthood. The stranger that approacheth to minister, shall be put to death.

11And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

12I have taken the Levites from the children of Israel, for every firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.

13For every firstborn is mine: since I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt: I have sanctified to myself whatsoever is firstborn in Israel both of man and beast, they are mine: I am the Lord.

14And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:

15Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and upward.

16Moses numbered them as the Lord had commanded.

17And there were found sons of Levi by their names, Gerson and Caath and Merari.

18The sons of Gerson: Lebni and Semei.

19The sons of Caath: Amram, and Jesaar, Hebron and Oziel:

20The sons of Merari: Moholi and Musi.

21Of Gerson were two families, the Lebnites, and the Semeites:

22Of which were numbered, people of the male sex from one month and upward, seven thousand five hundred.

23These shall pitch behind the tabernacle on the west,

24Under their prince Eliasaph the son of Lael.

25And their charge shall be in the tabernacle of the covenant:

26The tabernacle itself and the cover thereof, the hanging that is drawn before the doors of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the curtains of the court: the hanging also that is hanged in the entry of the court of the tabernacle, and whatsoever belongeth to the rite of the altar, the cords of the tabernacle, and all the furniture thereof.

27Of the kindred of Caath come the families of the Amramites and Jesaarites and Hebronites and Ozielites. These are the families of the Caathites reckoned up by their names:

28All of the male sex from one month and upward, eight thousand six hundred: they shall have the guard of the sanctuary,

29And shall camp on the south side.

30And their prince shall be Elisaphan the son of Oziel:

31And they shall keep the ark, and the table and the candlestick, the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary, wherewith they minister, and the veil, and all the furniture of this kind.

32And the prince of the princes of the Levites, Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, shall be over them that watch for the guard of the sanctuary.

33And of Merari are the families of the Moholites, and Musites, reckoned up by their names:

34All of the male kind from one month and upward, six thousand two hundred.

35Their prince Suriel the son of Abihaiel: they shall camp on the north side.

36Under their custody shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the pillars and their sockets, and all things that pertain to this kind of service:

37And the pillars of the court round about with their sockets, and the pins with their cords.

38Before the tabernacle of the covenant, that is to say on the east side, shall Moses and Aaron camp, with their sons, having the custody of the sanctuary, in the midst of the children of Israel. What stranger soever cometh unto it, shall be put to death.

39All the Levites, that Moses and Aaron numbered according to the precept of the Lord, by their families, of the male kind from one month and upward, were twenty-two thousand.

40And the Lord said to Moses: Number the firstborn of the male sex of the children of Israel, from one month and upward, and thou shalt take the sum of them.

41And thou shalt take the Levites to me for all the firstborn of the children of Israel, I am the Lord: and their cattle for all the firstborn of the cattle of the children of Israel:

42Moses reckoned up, as the Lord had commanded, the firstborn of the children of Israel:

43And the males by their names, from one month and upward, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.

44And the Lord spoke to Moses, saving:

45Take the Levites for the firstborn of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites for their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.

46But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, of the firstborn of the children of Israel, that exceed the number of the Levites,

47Thou shalt take five sides for every head, according to the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

48And then shalt give the money to Aaron and his sons, the price of them that are above.

49Moses therefore took the money of them that were above, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites,

50For the firstborn of the children of Israel, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary,

51And gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word that the Lord had commanded him.

1Hæ sunt generationes Aaron et Moysi in die qua locutus est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai.

2Et hæc nomina filiorum Aaron: primogenitus ejus Nadab, deinde Abiu, et Eleazar, et Ithamar.

3Hæc nomina filiorum Aaron sacerdotum qui uncti sunt, et quorum repletæ et consecratæ manus ut sacerdotio fungerentur.

4Mortui sunt enim Nadab et Abiu cum offerrent ignem alienum in conspectu Domini in deserto Sinai, absque liberis: functique sunt sacerdotio Eleazar et Ithamar coram Aaron patre suo.

5Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

6Applica tribum Levi, et fac stare in conspectu Aaron sacerdotis ut ministrent ei, et excubent,

7et observent quidquid ad cultum pertinet multitudinis coram tabernaculo testimonii,

8et custodiant vasa tabernaculi, servientes in ministerio ejus.

9Dabisque dono Levitas

10Aaron et filiis ejus, quibus traditi sunt a filiis Israël. Aaron autem et filios ejus constitues super cultum sacerdotii. Externus, qui ad ministrandum accesserit, morietur.

11Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

12Ego tuli Levitas a filiis Israël pro omni primogenito, qui aperit vulvam in filiis Israël, eruntque Levitæ mei.

13Meum est enim omne primogenitum: ex quo percussi primogenitos in terra Ægypti, sanctificavi mihi quidquid primum nascitur in Israël: ab homine usque ad pecus, mei sunt. Ego Dominus.

14Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai, dicens:

15Numera filios Levi per domos patrum suorum et familias, omnem masculum ab uno mense et supra.

16Numeravit Moyses, ut præceperat Dominus,

17et inventi sunt filii Levi per nomina sua, Gerson et Caath et Merari.

18Filii Gerson: Lebni et Semei.

19Filii Caath: Amram et Jesaar, Hebron et Oziel.

20Filii Merari: Moholi et Musi.

21De Gerson fuere familiæ duæ, Lebnitica, et Semeitica:

22quarum numeratus est populus sexus masculini ab uno mense et supra, septem millia quingenti.

23Hi post tabernaculum metabuntur ad occidentem,

24sub principe Eliasaph filio Laël.

25Et habebunt excubias in tabernaculo fœderis,

26ipsum tabernaculum et operimentum ejus, tentorium quod trahitur ante fores tecti fœderis, et cortinas atrii: tentorium quoque quod appenditur in introitu atrii tabernaculi, et quidquid ad ritum altaris pertinet, funes tabernaculi et omnia utensilia ejus.

27Cognatio Caath habebit populos Amramitas et Jesaaritas et Hebronitas et Ozielitas. Hæ sunt familiæ Caathitarum recensitæ per nomina sua.

28Omnes generis masculini ab uno mense et supra, octo millia sexcenti habebunt excubias sanctuarii,

29et castrametabuntur ad meridianam plagam.

30Princepsque eorum erit Elisaphan filius Oziel:

31et custodient arcam, mensamque et candelabrum, altaria et vasa sanctuarii, in quibus ministratur, et velum, cunctamque hujuscemodi supellectilem.

32Princeps autem principum Levitarum Eleazar filius Aaron sacerdotis, erit super excubitores custodiæ sanctuarii.

33At vero de Merari erunt populi Moholitæ et Musitæ recensiti per nomina sua:

34omnes generis masculini ab uno mense et supra, sex millia ducenti.

35Princeps eorum Suriel filius Abihaiel: in plaga septentrionali castrametabuntur.

36Erunt sub custodia eorum tabulæ tabernaculi et vectes, et columnæ ac bases earum, et omnia quæ ad cultum hujuscemodi pertinent:

37columnæque atrii per circuitum cum basibus suis, et paxilli cum funibus.

38Castrametabuntur ante tabernaculum fœderis, id est, ad orientalem plagam, Moyses et Aaron cum filiis suis, habentes custodiam sanctuarii in medio filiorum Israël. Quisquis alienus accesserit, morietur.

39Omnes Levitæ, quos numeraverunt Moyses et Aaron juxta præceptum Domini per familias suas in genere masculino a mense uno et supra, fuerunt viginti duo millia.

40Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: Numera primogenitos sexus masculini de filiis Israël ab uno mense et supra, et habebis summam eorum.

41Tollesque Levitas mihi pro omni primogenito filiorum Israël: ego sum Dominus: et pecora eorum pro universis primogenitis pecorum filiorum Israël.

42Recensuit Moyses, sicut præceperat Dominus, primogenitos filiorum Israël:

43et fuerunt masculi per nomina sua, a mense uno et supra, viginti duo millia ducenti septuaginta tres.

44Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

45Tolle Levitas pro primogenitis filiorum Israël, et pecora Levitarum pro pecoribus eorum, eruntque Levitæ mei. Ego sum Dominus.

46In pretio autem ducentorum septuaginta trium, qui excedunt numerum Levitarum de primogenitis filiorum Israël,

47accipies quinque siclos per singula capita ad mensuram sanctuarii (siclus habet viginti obolos):

48dabisque pecuniam Aaron et filiis ejus pretium eorum qui supra sunt.

49Tulit igitur Moyses pecuniam eorum, qui fuerant amplius, et quos redemerant a Levitis,

50pro primogenitis filiorum Israël, mille trecentorum sexaginta quinque siclorum juxta pondus sanctuarii:

51et dedit eam Aaron et filiis ejus juxta verbum quod præceperat sibi Dominus.

1These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai.

2And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.

3These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and whose hands were filled and consecrated in order to exercise the priesthood.

4For Nadab and Abihu died without children, when they offered, in the sight of the Lord, a strange fire, in the desert of Sinai. And so, Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the sight of Aaron, their father.

5And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

6“Bring forward the tribe of Levi, and cause them to stand in the sight of Aaron the priest, in order to minister to him. And let them keep watch outside,

7and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,

8and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.

9And you shall give the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons; for they have been delivered to them by the sons of Israel.

10But you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of the priesthood. The outsider who approaches to minister shall be put to death.”

11And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

12“I have taken the Levites from the sons of Israel. For the Levites, and all the firstborn who open the womb among the sons of Israel, shall be mine.

13For every firstborn is mine. From the time that I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified for myself whatever is born first in Israel. From man, even to beast, they are mine. I am the Lord.”

14And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:

15“Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.”

16Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed,

17and there were found the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.

18The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.

19The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.

20The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi.

21From Gershon were two families: the Libnites, and the Shimeites.

22The people of these were numbered, of the male sex, from one month and above: seven thousand five hundred.

23These shall encamp behind the tabernacle, toward the west,

24under the leader Eliasaph the son of Lael.

25And they shall keep watch over the tabernacle of the covenant:

26the tabernacle itself, and its covering; the tent that is drawn before the doors of the covering of the covenant; and the curtains of the atrium; likewise, the tent that is suspended at the entrance of the atrium of the tabernacle; and whatever pertains to the ritual of the altar; the cords of the tabernacle and all its implements.

27The kinship of Kohath includes the peoples of the Amramites and Izharites and Hebronites and Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites, having been counted by their names,

28all those of the male gender, from one month and above: eight thousand six hundred. They shall keep watch over the Sanctuary,

29and they shall encamp toward the south side.

30And their leader shall be Elisaphan the son of Uzziel.

31And they shall take care of the ark, and the table and the lampstand, the altars and the vessels of the Sanctuary, by which they minister, and the veil, and all the articles of this kind.

32But the leader of the leaders of the Levites, Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, shall be over those who watch over the care of the Sanctuary.

33And truly, from Merari are the peoples of the Mahlites and Mushites, having been counted by their names,

34all those of the male gender, from one month and above: six thousand two hundred.

35Their leader is Suriel the son of Abihaiel. They shall make camp on the north side.

36Under their care shall be the panels of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the columns with their bases, and all the things which pertain to service of this kind,

37and the columns of the surrounding atrium with their bases, and the tent pegs with their cords.

38Moses and Aaron, with their sons, shall make camp before the tabernacle of the covenant, that is, on the east side, holding the custody of the Sanctuary in the midst of the sons of Israel. Whatever foreigner approaches it shall die.

39All the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by their families according to the precept of the Lord, of the male gender, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand.

40And the Lord said to Moses: “Number the firstborn of the male sex from the sons of Israel, from one month and above, and you shall take their total.

41And you shall bring the Levites to me, in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and you shall bring their cattle to me, in place of all the firstborn of the cattle of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord.”

42Moses took a census, just as the Lord had instructed, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel.

43And the males by their names, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.

44And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

45“Take the Levites, in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, in place of their cattle, and so the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.

46But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, which exceed the number of the Levites compared to the number of firstborn of the sons of Israel,

47you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.

48And you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.”

49Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites

50in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel: one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary.

51And he gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word by which the Lord had instructed him.
