Mga Bilang 4
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Tungkulin ng mga Levitang Mula sa Angkan ni Kohat
4 Sinabi ni Yahweh kina Moises at Aaron, 2 “Bilangin at ilista ninyo ang angkan ni Kohat ayon sa kani-kanilang angkan at sambahayan. 3 Ibukod ninyo ang lahat ng maaari nang maglingkod sa Toldang Tipanan, ang mga lalaking may edad na tatlumpu hanggang limampung taon. 4 Sila ang maglilingkod sa mga bagay na ganap na sagrado sa loob ng Toldang Tipanan.
5 “Kung aalis na ang mga Israelita sa lugar na kanilang pinagkakampuhan, si Aaron at ang kanyang mga anak ang magtatanggal sa mga tabing ng Toldang Tipanan at ibabalot ito sa Kaban ng Tipan. 6 Pagkatapos, papatungan ito ng balat ng kambing, at babalutin ng telang asul saka isusuot ang mga pasanan sa mga argolya nito.
7 “Ang mesang lalagyan ng handog na tinapay ay lalatagan naman ng asul na tela, saka ipapatong sa ibabaw nito ang mga plato, mga lalagyan ng insenso, mga mangkok at mga pitsel. Hindi na aalisin ang tinapay na handog na naroroon. 8 Pagkatapos, tatakpan ang lahat ng ito ng pulang tela at ng balat ng kambing, saka isusuot sa mga argolya ang mga pasanan.
9 “Ang ilawan pati ang mga ilaw, pang-ipit, sisidlan ng abo at ang mga sisidlan ng langis ay babalutin din ng telang asul 10 at ng balat ng kambing, kasama ang lahat ng kagamitan at saka ilalagay sa sisidlan.
11 “Ang altar na ginto ay tatakpan din ng asul na tela, at babalutin ng balat ng kambing saka isusuot sa mga argolya ang mga pasanan nito. 12 Ang iba pang kagamitan sa Toldang Tipanan ay babalutin ng telang asul saka tatakpan ng balat ng kambing, at ilalagay sa sisidlan. 13 Ang abo sa altar ay aalisin bago ito takpan ng damit na pula. 14 Pagkatapos, ipapatong dito ang mga kagamitan sa altar tulad ng mga kawali, panusok, pala at palanggana. Tatakpan ito ng balat ng kambing saka isusuot sa argolya ang mga pasanan nito. 15 Kapag ang Toldang Tipanan at ang lahat ng kagamitan dito'y naibalot na nina Aaron at ng kanyang mga anak, ang lahat ng ito'y dadalhin ng mga anak ni Kohat. Ngunit huwag nilang hahawakan ang mga sagradong bagay sapagkat mamamatay ang sinumang humawak sa mga sagradong kagamitang ito.
“Ito ang mga tungkulin ng mga anak ni Kohat tuwing ililipat ang Toldang Tipanan.
16 “Si Eleazar na anak ni Aaron ang mangangalaga sa langis para sa ilawan, sa insenso, sa karaniwang handog na pagkaing butil at sa langis na pantalaga. Siya rin ang mamamahala sa buong Toldang Tipanan at sa lahat ng kagamitan dito.”
17 Sinabi ni Yahweh kina Moises at Aaron, 18 “Huwag ninyong pababayaang mapahamak ang sambahayan ni Kohat 19 sa paglapit nila sa mga ganap na sagradong kasangkapan. Para hindi sila mamatay, ituturo sa kanila ni Aaron at ng mga anak nito kung ano ang dapat nilang dalhin at kung ano ang dapat nilang gawin. 20 Ngunit huwag na huwag silang papasok upang tingnan kahit sandali lang ang mga sagradong bagay doon sapagkat tiyak na mamamatay sila sa sandaling gawin nila iyon.”
Tungkulin ng mga Levitang Mula sa Lahi ni Gershon
21 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, 22 “Bilangin at ilista mo rin ang mga anak ni Gershon ayon sa kani-kanilang angkan at sambahayan, 23 at ilista mo ang lahat ng lalaking maaaring maglingkod sa Toldang Tipanan, mula sa edad na tatlumpu hanggang limampu. 24 Ito ang tungkuling ibibigay mo sa kanila: 25 Dadalhin nila ang mga balat na asul at ang balat na yari sa balahibo ng kambing, at mga mainam na balat na itinatakip sa Toldang Tipanan, at ang tabing sa pintuan nito; 26 ang mga tali at balat na nakatabing sa bulwagan sa paligid ng tabernakulo at ng altar, ang tabing sa pasukan ng bulwagan, at ang lahat ng kagamitang kasama nito. Sila rin ang gaganap ng lahat ng gawaing kaugnay ng mga bagay na ito. 27 Ang lahat ng gagawin ng sambahayan ni Gershon ay pamamahalaan ni Aaron at ng kanyang mga anak. Ikaw ang magtatakda ng dapat nilang gawin. 28 Ito ang magiging gawain ng mga anak ni Gershon sa pangangasiwa ni Itamar na anak ni Aaron.
Tungkulin ng mga Levitang Mula sa Lahi ni Merari
29 “Bilangin at ilista mo rin ang mga anak ni Merari ayon sa kani-kanilang angkan at sambahayan, 30 at ilista mo ang mga lalaking maaari nang maglingkod sa Toldang Tipanan, ang mga may edad mula sa tatlumpu hanggang limampung taon. 31 Ito naman ang dadalhin nila bilang paglilingkod sa Toldang Tipanan: ang mga haliging pahalang at patayo, mga patungan ng haligi, 32 ang mga haligi ng tabing sa paligid ng bulwagan, pati mga patungan niyon, mga tulos, mga tali at ang lahat ng kagamitang kasama ng mga ito. Sasabihin mo sa kanila kung anu-ano ang kanilang dadalhin. 33 Ito ang tungkulin ng mga anak ni Merari patungkol sa Toldang Tipanan. Gagawin nila ito sa pangangasiwa ni Itamar.”
Ang Talaan ng mga Levita

Ang mga ito ay tumulong sa paglilingkod sa Toldang Tipanan.

Numbers 4
King James Version
4 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:
12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar:
13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,
18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
21 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.
27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,
32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
34 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
35 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:
36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
37 These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,
39 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
40 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.
41 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the Lord.
42 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,
43 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
44 Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred.
45 These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
47 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation.
48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore,
49 According to the commandment of the Lord they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the Lord commanded Moses.
