chapter 4
1
And
the Lord spoke to Moses, and Aaron, saying:
2 Take the sum of the sons of Caath from the midst of
the Levites, by their houses and families.
3 From thirty years old and upward, to fifty years old,
of all that go in to stand and to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
4 This is the service of the sons of Caath:
5 When the camp is to set forward, Aaron and his sons
shall go into the tabernacle of the covenant, and the holy of holies, and shall
take down the veil that hangeth before the door, and shall wrap up the ark of
the testimony in it,
6 And shall cover it again with a cover of violet
skins, and shall spread over it a cloth all of violet, and shall put in the
bars.
7 They shall wrap up also the table of proposition in a
cloth of violet, and shall put with it the censers and little mortars, the cups
and bowls to pour out the libations: the leaves shall be always on it:
8 And they shall spread over it a cloth of scarlet,
which again they shall cover with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in
the bars.
9 They shall take also a cloth of violet wherewith they
shall cover the candlestick with the lamps and tongs thereof and the snuffers
and all the oil vessels, which are necessary for the dressing of the lamps :
10 And over all they shall put a cover of violet skins
and put in the bars.
11 And they shall wrap up the golden altar also in a
cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in
the bars.
12 All the vessels wherewith they minister in the
sanctuary, they shall wrap up in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a
cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
13 They shall cleanse the altar also from the ashes,
and shall wrap it up in a purple cloth,
14 And shall put it with all the vessels that they use
in the ministry thereof, that is to say, firepans, fleshhooks and forks,
pothooks and shovels. They shall cover all the vessels of the altar together
with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have wrapped up the
sanctuary and the vessels thereof at the removing of the camp, then shall the
sons of Caath enter in to carry the things wrapped up: and they shall not touch
the vessels of the sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the sons
of Caath: in the tabernacle of the covenant:
16 And over them shall be Eleazar the son of Aaron the
priest, to whose charge pertaineth the oil to dress the lamps, and the sweet
incense, and the sacrifice, that is always offered, and the oil of unction, and
whatsoever pertaineth to the service of the tabernacle, and of all the vessels
that are in the sanctuary.
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
18 Destroy not the people of Caath from the midst of
the Levites:
19 But do this to them, that they may live, and not
die, by touching the holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they
shall appoint every man his work, and shall divide the burdens that every man
is to carry.
20 Let not others by any curiosity see the things that
are in the sanctuary before they be wrapped up, otherwise they shall die.
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
22 Take the sum of the soils of Gerson also by their
houses and families and kindreds.
23 From thirty Sears old and upward, unto fifty years
old. Number them all that go in and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
24 This is the office of the family of the Gersonites :
25 To carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the roof
of the covenant, the other covering, and the violet covering over all, and the
hanging that hangeth in the entry of the tabernacle of the covenant,
26 The curtains of the court, and the veil in the entry
that is before the tabernacle. All things that pertain to the altar, the cords
and the vessels of the ministry,
27 The sons of Gerson shall carry, by the commandment
of Aaron and his sons: and each man shall know to what burden he must be
assigned.
28 This is the service of the family of the Gersonites
in the tabernacle of the covenant, and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar
the son of Aaron the priest.
29 Thou shalt reckon up the sons of Merari also by the
families and houses of their fathers,
30 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years
old, all that go in to the office of their ministry, and to the service of the
covenant of the testimony.
31 These are their burdens: They shall carry the boards
of the tabernacle and the bars thereof, the pillars and their sockets,
32 The pillars also of the court round about, with
their sockets and pins and cords. They shall receive by account all the vessels
and furniture, and so shall carry them.
33 This is the office of the family of the Merarites,
and their ministry in the tabernacle of the covenant: and they shall be under
the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
34 So Moses and Aaron and the princes of the synagogue
reckoned up the sons of Caath, by their kindreds and the houses of their
fathers,
35 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years
old, all that go in to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant:
36 And they were found two thousand seven hundred and
fifty.
37 This is the number of the people of Caath that go in
to the tabernacle of the covenant: these did Moses and Aaron number according
to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
38 The sons of Gerson also were numbered by the
kindreds and houses of their fathers,
39 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years
old, all that go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant:
40 And they were found two thousand six hundred and
thirty.
41 This is the people of the Gersonites, whom Moses and
Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
42 The sons of Merari also were numbered by the
kindreds and houses of their fathers,
43 From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years
old, all that go in to fulfil the rites of the tabernacle of the covenant:
44 And they were found three thousand two hundred.
45 This is the number of the sons of Merari, whom Moses
and Aaron reckoned up according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of
Moses.
46 All that were reckoned up of the Levites, and whom
Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel took by name, by the kindreds and
houses of their fathers,
47 From thirty years old and upward, until fifty years
old, that go into the ministry of the tabernacle, and to carry the burdens,
48 Were in all eight thousand five hundred and eighty.
49 Moses reckoned them up according to the word of the
Lord, every one according to their office and burdens, as the Lord had
commanded him.
