You and Aaron are to number those who are twenty years of age or older by their divisions—everyone who can serve in Israel’s army.

Numbers 3:2

These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, then Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Numbers 3:3

These were Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.

Numbers 3:4

Nadab and Abihu, however, died in the presence of the LORD when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai. And since they had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.

Numbers 3:6

“Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.

They shall take care of all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting and fulfill obligations for the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle.

Numbers 3:9

Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been given exclusively to him from among the Israelites.

So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out the duties of the priesthood; but any outsider who approaches the tabernacle must be put to death.”

Numbers 3:11

Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Numbers 3:12

“Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel in place of every firstborn Israelite from the womb. The Levites belong to Me,

Numbers 3:13

for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine; I am the LORD.”

Numbers 3:14

Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,

Numbers 3:15

“Number the Levites by their families and clans. You are to count every male a month old or more.”

Numbers 3:16

So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he had been commanded.

Numbers 3:17

These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

Numbers 3:18

These were the names of the sons of Gershon by their clans: Libni and Shimei.

Numbers 3:19

The sons of Kohath by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

Numbers 3:20

And the sons of Merari by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites, according to their families.

Numbers 3:21

From Gershon came the Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan; these were the Gershonite clans.

Numbers 3:22

The number of all the males a month old or more was 7,500.

Numbers 3:23

The Gershonite clans were to camp on the west, behind the tabernacle,

Numbers 3:24

and the leader of the families of the Gershonites was Eliasaph son of Lael.

Numbers 3:25

The duties of the Gershonites at the Tent of Meeting were the tabernacle and tent, its covering, the curtain for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,

Numbers 3:26

the curtains of the courtyard, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, and the cords—all the service for these items.

Numbers 3:27

From Kohath came the clans of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites; these were the clans of the Kohathites.

Numbers 3:28

The number of all the males a month old or more was 8,600. They were responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.

Numbers 3:29

The clans of the Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle,

Numbers 3:30

and the leader of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.

Numbers 3:31

Their duties were the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the articles of the sanctuary used with them, and the curtain—all the service for these items.

Numbers 3:32

The chief of the leaders of the Levites was Eleazar son of Aaron the priest; he oversaw those responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.

Numbers 3:33

Numbers 3:35

Numbers 3:36

The duties assigned to the sons of Merari were the tabernacle’s frames, crossbars, posts, bases, and all its equipment—all the service for these items,

Numbers 3:37

as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes.

Numbers 3:38

Moses, Aaron, and Aaron’s sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle, toward the sunrise, before the Tent of Meeting. They were to perform the duties of the sanctuary as a service on behalf of the Israelites; but any outsider who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death.

Numbers 3:39

The total number of Levites that Moses and Aaron counted by their clans at the LORD’s command, including all the males a month old or more, was 22,000.

Numbers 3:40

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the Israelites a month old or more, and list their names.

Numbers 3:41

You are to take the Levites for Me—I am the LORD—in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites.”

Numbers 3:42

So Moses numbered all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the LORD had commanded him.

Numbers 3:43

The total number of the firstborn males a month old or more, listed by name, was 22,273.

Numbers 3:44

Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Numbers 3:45

“Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites belong to Me; I am the LORD.

Numbers 3:46

To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who outnumber the Levites,

Numbers 3:47

you are to collect five shekels for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel of twenty gerahs.

Numbers 3:48

Give the money to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for the excess among the Israelites.”

Numbers 3:49

So Moses collected the redemption money from those in excess of the number redeemed by the Levites.

Numbers 3:50

He collected the money from the firstborn of the Israelites: 1,365 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.

Numbers 3:51

And Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the word of the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

Numbers 4:1

Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

Numbers 4:2

“Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,

Numbers 4:3

men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 4:4

This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.

Numbers 4:5

Whenever the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the veil of the curtain, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.

Numbers 4:6

They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.

Numbers 4:7

Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and place the plates and cups on it, along with the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to remain on it.

Numbers 4:8

And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.

Numbers 4:9

They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, together with its lamps, wick trimmers, and trays, as well as the jars of oil with which to supply it.

Numbers 4:10

Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.

Numbers 4:11

Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.

Numbers 4:12

They are to take all the utensils for serving in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and put them on the carrying frame.

Numbers 4:13

Then they shall remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,

Numbers 4:14

and place on it all the vessels used to serve there: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls—all the equipment of the altar. They are to spread over it a covering of fine leather and insert the poles.

Numbers 4:15

When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their equipment, as soon as the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites shall come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 4:16

Eleazar son of Aaron the priest shall oversee the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including the holy objects and their utensils.”

Numbers 4:17

Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

Numbers 4:18

“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites.

Numbers 4:19

In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry.

Numbers 4:20

But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”

Numbers 4:21

And the LORD said to Moses,

Numbers 4:22

“Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,

Numbers 4:23

from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 4:24

This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transport:

Numbers 4:25

They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting with the covering of fine leather over it, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,

Numbers 4:26

the curtains of the courtyard, and the curtains for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, along with their ropes and all the equipment for their service. The Gershonites will do all that needs to be done with these items.

Numbers 4:27

All the service of the Gershonites—all their transport duties and other work—is to be done at the direction of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry.

Numbers 4:28

This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the Tent of Meeting, and their duties shall be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

Numbers 4:29

As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families,

Numbers 4:30

from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work of the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 4:31

This is the duty for all their service at the Tent of Meeting: to carry the frames of the tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and bases,

Numbers 4:32

and the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and everything related to their use. You shall assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry.

Numbers 4:33

This is the service of the Merarite clans according to all their work at the Tent of Meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”

Numbers 4:34

So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the Kohathites by their clans and families,

Numbers 4:35

everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 4:36

And those numbered by their clans totaled 2,750.

Numbers 4:37

These were counted from the Kohathite clans, everyone who could serve at the Tent of Meeting. Moses and Aaron numbered them according to the command of the LORD through Moses.

Numbers 4:38

Then the Gershonites were numbered by their clans and families,

Numbers 4:39

everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 4:40

And those numbered by their clans and families totaled 2,630.

Numbers 4:41

These were counted from the Gershonite clans who served at the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the LORD’s command.

Numbers 4:42

And the Merarites were numbered by their clans and families,

Numbers 4:43

everyone from thirty to fifty years old who came to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 4:44

The men registered by their clans numbered 3,200.

Numbers 4:45

These were counted from the Merarite clans, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the LORD’s command through Moses.

Numbers 4:46

So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel numbered by their clans and families all the Levites

Numbers 4:47

from thirty to fifty years old who came to do the work of serving and carrying the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 4:48

And the number of men was 8,580.

Numbers 4:49

At the LORD’s command they were numbered through Moses and each one was assigned his work and burden, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Numbers 8:1

Then the LORD said to Moses,

Numbers 8:2

“Speak to Aaron and tell him: ‘When you set up the seven lamps, they are to light the area in front of the lampstand.’”

Numbers 8:3

And Aaron did so; he set up the lamps facing toward the front of the lampstand, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Numbers 8:4

This is how the lampstand was constructed: it was made of hammered gold from its base to its blossoms, fashioned according to the pattern the LORD had shown Moses.

Numbers 8:5

Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Numbers 8:6

“Take the Levites from among the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.

Numbers 8:7

This is what you must do to cleanse them: Sprinkle them with the water of purification. Have them shave their whole bodies and wash their clothes, and so purify themselves.

Numbers 8:8

Then have them take a young bull with its grain offering of fine flour mixed with oil, and you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.

Numbers 8:9

Bring the Levites before the Tent of Meeting and assemble the whole congregation of Israel.

Numbers 8:10

You are to present the Levites before the LORD and have the Israelites lay their hands upon them.

Numbers 8:11

Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a wave offering from the sons of Israel, so that they may perform the service of the LORD.

Numbers 8:12

And the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls, and offer to the LORD one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, to make atonement for the Levites.

Numbers 8:13

You are to have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons and then present them before the LORD as a wave offering.

Numbers 8:14

In this way you shall separate the Levites from the rest of the Israelites, and the Levites will belong to Me.

Numbers 8:15

After you have cleansed them and presented them as a wave offering, they may come to serve at the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 8:16

For the Levites have been wholly given to Me from among the sons of Israel. I have taken them for Myself in place of all who come first from the womb, the firstborn of all the sons of Israel.

Numbers 8:17

For every firstborn male in Israel is Mine, both man and beast. I set them apart for Myself on the day I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt.

Numbers 8:18

But I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.

Numbers 8:19

And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the Israelites, to perform the service for the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting and to make atonement on their behalf, so that no plague will come against the Israelites when they approach the sanctuary.”

Numbers 8:20

So Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel did with the Levites everything that the LORD had commanded Moses they should do.

Numbers 8:21

The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes, and Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the LORD. Aaron also made atonement for them to cleanse them.

Numbers 8:22

After that, the Levites came to perform their service at the Tent of Meeting in the presence of Aaron and his sons. Thus they did with the Levites just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Numbers 8:23

And the LORD said to Moses,

Numbers 8:24

“This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years of age or older shall enter to perform the service in the work at the Tent of Meeting.

Numbers 8:25

But at the age of fifty, they must retire from performing the work and no longer serve.

Numbers 8:26

After that, they may assist their brothers in fulfilling their duties at the Tent of Meeting, but they themselves are not to do the work. This is how you are to assign responsibilities to the Levites.”

Numbers 26:57

Now these were the Levites numbered by their clans: The Gershonite clan from Gershon, the Kohathite clan from Kohath, and the Merarite clan from Merari.

Numbers 26:58

These were the families of the Levites: The Libnite clan, the Hebronite clan, the Mahlite clan, the Mushite clan, and the Korahite clan. Now Kohath was the father of Amram,

Numbers 26:59

and Amram’s wife was named Jochebed. She was also a daughter of Levi, born to Levi in Egypt. To Amram she bore Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam.

Numbers 26:60

Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar were born to Aaron,

Numbers 26:61

but Nadab and Abihu died when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD.

Numbers 26:62

The registration of the Levites totaled 23,000, every male a month old or more; they were not numbered among the other Israelites, because no inheritance was given to them among the Israelites.
