Chinese New Version (Traditional)

哥轄子孫的職責

4 耶和華對摩西和亞倫說： 2 “你要從利未人中，登記哥轄子孫的總數，照著他們的家族、父家， 3 從三十歲以上，直到五十歲，能進來供職，在會幕裡工作的，你都要登記。 4 哥轄子孫在會幕裡的工作就是管理至聖之物。 5 起營出發的時候，亞倫和他的兒子要進去，把遮蓋至聖所的幔子卸下來，用來遮蓋約櫃； 6 又把海狗皮罩蓋在上面，再鋪上純藍色的布，然後把槓穿上。 7 在陳設餅的桌子上，他們要鋪上藍色布，把盤子、碟子、杯和奠酒的爵擺在上面，桌子上也必須有常獻餅； 8 在這些物件上面，他們要鋪上朱紅色布，再蓋上海狗皮罩，然後把槓穿上。 9 他們要拿藍色布，把燈臺和燈臺上的燈盞、剪子、蠟花盤，以及為燈臺所用一切盛油的器具遮蓋起來。 10 他們又要把燈臺和燈臺的一切器具，都包在海狗皮裡，然後放在抬架上。 11 在金壇上面，他們要鋪上藍色布，再蓋上海狗皮罩，然後把槓穿上。 12 他們又要把聖所裡供職使用的一切器具，都包在藍色布裡，再蓋上海狗皮罩，然後放在抬架上。 13 他們要清除壇上的灰，把紫色布鋪在壇上。 14 又要把在壇上供職使用的一切器具，就是火鼎、肉叉、鏟子、盤子，都擺在上面；再蓋上海狗皮罩，然後穿上槓。 15 全營出發的時候，亞倫和他的兒子，把聖所和聖所的一切器具遮蓋完了以後，哥轄的子孫就要來抬；只是他們不可觸摸聖物，免得他們死亡。會幕裡這些物件是哥轄的子孫應當抬的。 16 亞倫祭司的兒子以利亞撒的職務是看管點燈的油、芬芳的香、常獻的素祭和膏油，也要看管整個帳幕和其中所有的一切，以及聖所和聖所的器具。”

17 耶和華對摩西和亞倫說： 18 “你們不可把哥轄家族的派系從利未人中剪除； 19 他們接近至聖之物的時候，亞倫和他的兒子要進去，指定他們各人當辦的和當抬的工作；你們要這樣待他們，好讓他們活著，不至死亡； 20 只是他們連片刻也不可進去觀看聖物，免得他們死亡。”

革順子孫的職責

21 耶和華對摩西說： 22 “你也要登記革順子孫的總數，照著他們的父家、家族， 23 從三十歲以上，直到五十歲，能進來供職，在會幕裡工作的，你都要數點。 24 革順人的家庭所作的事和所抬的物如下： 25 他們要抬帳幕的幔子、會幕和會幕的蓋，以及蓋在上面的海狗皮罩和會幕的門簾、 26 院子的帷子、院子的門簾（院子是圍繞帳幕和祭壇的）、繩子，以及一切使用的器具；有關這些器具所當作的，他們都要辦理。 27 革順的子孫所有的任務，他們在一切當抬的和當辦的事上，都要照著亞倫和他兒子的吩咐；他們當抬的，你們都要把職務分派給他們。 28 這是革順子孫的家族在會幕裡所辦的事；他們的職務要受亞倫祭司的兒子以他瑪的管理。

米拉利子孫的職責

29 “米拉利的子孫，你也要照著他們的宗族，按著他們的家室數點他們； 30 從三十歲以上，直到五十歲，能進來供職，在會幕裡工作的，你都要數點。 31 他們在會幕裡的一切事奉，他們的職務，就是抬帳幕的木板、橫閂、柱子和插座、 32 院子四周的柱子、插座、橛子、繩子、一切用具和使用的東西；他們當抬的器具，你們要按著名字一一指定。 33 這是米拉利子孫的家族在會幕裡所辦的一切事務，都受亞倫祭司的兒子以他瑪的管理。”

數點利未各宗族的人口

34 摩西、亞倫和會眾的領袖們，把哥轄的子孫，按著他們的宗族和父家， 35 從三十歲以上，直到五十歲，能進來供職，在會幕裡工作的，都數點了。 36 按著宗族，他們被數點的，共有二千七百五十人。 37 這是哥轄家族被數點的人數，是所有在會幕裡辦事的人數，就是摩西和亞倫，照著耶和華藉摩西吩咐數點的。

38 革順的子孫，按著他們的宗族和父家被數點的， 39 從三十歲以上，直到五十歲，能進去供職，在會幕裡工作的， 40 按著他們的宗族和父家，被數點的人數，共有二千六百三十人。 41 這些是革順子孫的家族被數點的人數，是一切在會幕裡辦事的，就是摩西和亞倫照著耶和華的吩咐數點的。

42 米拉利的子孫，按著宗族和父家， 43 從三十歲以上，直到五十歲，能進去供職，在會幕裡工作的，都數點了。 44 按著宗族，他們被數點的，共有三千二百人。 45 這些是米拉利子孫的家族被數點的人數，就是摩西和亞倫，照著耶和華的吩咐數點的。

46 被數點的利未人，就是摩西和亞倫，以及以色列的眾領袖，按著宗族和家室數點的， 47 從三十歲以上，直到五十歲，可以進去供職，在會幕裡作抬物件的工作的， 48 他們的人數，共有八千五百八十人。 49 照著耶和華藉摩西吩咐的，把他們數點，各人按著自己所辦的事和所抬的物件被數點，正如耶和華吩咐摩西的。

Numbers 4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

The Kohathites

4 The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 Take a census of the Kohathites separate from the other Levites, by their clans and their ancestral houses, 3 from thirty years old up to fifty years old, all who qualify to do work relating to the tent of meeting. 4 The service of the Kohathites relating to the tent of meeting concerns the most holy things.

5 When the camp is to set out, Aaron and his sons shall go in and take down the screening curtain, and cover the ark of the covenant[a] with it; 6 then they shall put on it a covering of fine leather,[b] and spread over that a cloth all of blue, and shall put its poles in place. 7 Over the table of the bread of the Presence they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the plates, the dishes for incense, the bowls, and the flagons for the drink-offering; the regular bread also shall be on it; 8 then they shall spread over them a crimson cloth, and cover it with a covering of fine leather,[c] and shall put its poles in place. 9 They shall take a blue cloth, and cover the lampstand for the light, with its lamps, its snuffers, its trays, and all the vessels for oil with which it is supplied; 10 and they shall put it with all its utensils in a covering of fine leather,[d] and put it on the carrying-frame. 11 Over the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of fine leather,[e] and shall put its poles in place; 12 and they shall take all the utensils of the service that are used in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth, and cover them with a covering of fine leather,[f] and put them on the carrying-frame. 13 They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it; 14 and they shall put on it all the utensils of the altar, which are used for the service there, the firepans, the forks, the shovels, and the basins, all the utensils of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of fine leather,[g] and shall put its poles in place. 15 When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, as the camp sets out, after that the Kohathites shall come to carry these, but they must not touch the holy things, or they will die. These are the things of the tent of meeting that the Kohathites are to carry.

16 Eleazar son of Aaron the priest shall have charge of the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the regular grain-offering, and the anointing-oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle and all that is in it, in the sanctuary and in its utensils.

17 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 18 You must not let the tribe of the clans of the Kohathites be destroyed from among the Levites. 19 This is how you must deal with them in order that they may live and not die when they come near to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and assign each to a particular task or burden. 20 But the Kohathites[h] must not go in to look on the holy things even for a moment; otherwise they will die.

The Gershonites and Merarites

21 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 22 Take a census of the Gershonites also, by their ancestral houses and by their clans; 23 from thirty years old up to fifty years old you shall enrol them, all who qualify to do work in the tent of meeting. 24 This is the service of the clans of the Gershonites, in serving and bearing burdens: 25 They shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting with its covering, and the outer covering of fine leather[i] that is on top of it, and the screen for the entrance of the tent of meeting, 26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the entrance of the gate of the court that is around the tabernacle and the altar, and their cords, and all the equipment for their service; and they shall do all that needs to be done with regard to them. 27 All the service of the Gershonites shall be at the command of Aaron and his sons, in all that they are to carry, and in all that they have to do; and you shall assign to their charge all that they are to carry. 28 This is the service of the clans of the Gershonites relating to the tent of meeting, and their responsibilities are to be under the oversight of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

29 As for the Merarites, you shall enrol them by their clans and their ancestral houses; 30 from thirty years old up to fifty years old you shall enrol them, everyone who qualifies to do the work of the tent of meeting. 31 This is what they are charged to carry, as the whole of their service in the tent of meeting: the frames of the tabernacle, with its bars, pillars, and bases, 32 and the pillars of the court all around with their bases, pegs, and cords, with all their equipment and all their related service; and you shall assign by name the objects that they are required to carry. 33 This is the service of the clans of the Merarites, the whole of their service relating to the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

Census of the Levites

34 So Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the congregation enrolled the Kohathites, by their clans and their ancestral houses, 35 from thirty years old up to fifty years old, everyone who qualified for work relating to the tent of meeting; 36 and their enrolment by clans was two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 37 This was the enrolment of the clans of the Kohathites, all who served at the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron enrolled according to the commandment of the Lord by Moses.

38 The enrolment of the Gershonites, by their clans and their ancestral houses, 39 from thirty years old up to fifty years old, everyone who qualified for work relating to the tent of meeting— 40 their enrolment by their clans and their ancestral houses was two thousand six hundred and thirty. 41 This was the enrolment of the clans of the Gershonites, all who served at the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron enrolled according to the commandment of the Lord.

42 The enrolment of the clans of the Merarites, by their clans and their ancestral houses, 43 from thirty years old up to fifty years old, everyone who qualified for work relating to the tent of meeting— 44 their enrolment by their clans was three thousand two hundred. 45 This is the enrolment of the clans of the Merarites, whom Moses and Aaron enrolled according to the commandment of the Lord by Moses.

46 All those who were enrolled of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the leaders of Israel enrolled, by their clans and their ancestral houses, 47 from thirty years old up to fifty years old, everyone who qualified to do the work of service and the work of bearing burdens relating to the tent of meeting, 48 their enrolment was eight thousand five hundred and eighty. 49 According to the commandment of the Lord through Moses they were appointed to their several tasks of serving or carrying; thus they were enrolled by him, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Numbers 4
New King James Version

Duties of the Sons of Kohath

4 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 “Take a census of the sons of (A)Kohath from among the children of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ house, 3 (B)from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting.

4 (C)“This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of meeting, relating to (D)the most holy things: 5 When the camp prepares to journey, Aaron and his sons shall come, and they shall take down (E)the covering veil and cover the (F)ark of the Testimony with it. 6 Then they shall put on it a covering of badger skins, and spread over that a cloth entirely of (G)blue; and they shall insert (H)its poles.

7 “On the (I)table of showbread they shall spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the pans, the bowls, and the [a]pitchers for pouring; and the (J)showbread[b] shall be on it. 8 They shall spread over them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its poles. 9 And they shall take a blue cloth and cover the (K)lampstand of the light, (L)with its lamps, its wick-trimmers, its trays, and all its oil vessels, with which they service it. 10 Then they shall put it with all its utensils in a covering of badger skins, and put it on a carrying beam.

11 “Over (M)the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover it with a covering of badger skins; and they shall insert its poles. 12 Then they shall take all the (N)utensils of service with which they minister in the sanctuary, put them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of badger skins, and put them on a carrying beam. 13 Also they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth over it. 14 They shall put on it all its implements with which they minister there—the firepans, the forks, the shovels, the [c]basins, and all the utensils of the altar—and they shall spread on it a covering of badger skins, and insert its poles. 15 And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is set to go, then (O)the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them; (P)but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die.

“(Q)These are the things in the tabernacle of meeting which the sons of Kohath are to carry.

16 “The appointed duty of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is (R)the oil for the light, the (S)sweet incense, (T)the daily grain offering, the (U)anointing oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle, of all that is in it, with the sanctuary and its furnishings.”

17 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 18 “Do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites; 19 but do this in regard to them, that they may live and not die when they approach (V)the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and [d]appoint each of them to his service and his task. 20 (W)But they shall not go in to watch while the holy things are being covered, lest they die.”

Duties of the Sons of Gershon

21 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 22 “Also take a census of the sons of (X)Gershon, by their fathers’ house, by their families. 23 (Y)From thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, you shall number them, all who enter to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting. 24 This is the (Z)service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and carrying: 25 (AA)They shall carry the (AB)curtains of the tabernacle and the tabernacle of meeting with its covering, the covering of (AC)badger skins that is on it, the screen for the door of the tabernacle of meeting, 26 the screen for the door of the gate of the court, the hangings of the court which are around the tabernacle and altar, and their cords, all the furnishings for their service and all that is made for these things: so shall they serve.

27 “Aaron and his sons shall [e]assign all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, all their tasks and all their service. And you shall [f]appoint to them all their tasks as their duty. 28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of meeting. And their duties shall be (AD)under the [g]authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

Duties of the Sons of Merari

29 “As for the sons of (AE)Merari, you shall number them by their families and by their fathers’ house. 30 (AF)From thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, you shall number them, everyone who enters the service to do the work of the tabernacle of meeting. 31 And (AG)this is (AH)what they must carry as all their service for the tabernacle of meeting: (AI)the boards of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, 32 and the pillars around the court with their sockets, pegs, and cords, with all their furnishings and all their service; and you shall (AJ)assign to each man by name the items he must carry. 33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, as all their service for the tabernacle of meeting, under the [h]authority of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”

Census of the Levites

34 (AK)And Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families and by their fathers’ house, 35 from thirty (AL)years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting; 36 and those who were numbered by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 37 These were the ones who were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all who might serve in the tabernacle of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

38 And those who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their families and by their fathers’ house, 39 from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting— 40 those who were numbered by their families, by their fathers’ house, were two thousand six hundred and thirty. 41 (AM)These are the ones who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all who might serve in the tabernacle of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the Lord.

42 Those of the families of the sons of Merari who were numbered, by their families, by their fathers’ [i]house, 43 from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who entered the service for work in the tabernacle of meeting— 44 those who were numbered by their families were three thousand two hundred. 45 These are the ones who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered (AN)according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

46 All who were (AO)numbered of the Levites, whom Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel numbered, by their families and by their fathers’ houses, 47 (AP)from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, everyone who came to do the work of service and the work of bearing burdens in the tabernacle of meeting— 48 those who were numbered were eight thousand five hundred and eighty.

49 According to the commandment of the Lord they were numbered by the hand of Moses, (AQ)each according to his service and according to his task; thus were they numbered by him, (AR)as the Lord commanded Moses.
