民數記 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
利未人的職分
3 以下是耶和華在西奈山與摩西說話期間亞倫和摩西的後代。
2 亞倫的長子是拿答，其他兒子還有亞比戶、以利亞撒和以他瑪。 3 亞倫的兒子都是受膏的祭司，從摩西那裡承受聖職做祭司。 4 拿答和亞比戶在西奈曠野用凡火向耶和華獻祭，因而被擊殺。他們沒有後裔，因此只剩下以利亞撒和以他瑪在父親亞倫身邊擔任祭司。
5 耶和華對摩西說： 6 「你去叫利未支派來協助亞倫祭司。 7 他們要為亞倫和全體會眾在會幕司職，辦理聖幕的事務， 8 也要負責看守會幕裡面的器具，為以色列人辦理聖幕的事務。 9 你要把利未人交給亞倫父子們，因為他們是從以色列人中選出來協助亞倫的。 10 你要指派亞倫父子們盡祭司的職分，其他人若走近聖幕，必被處死。」 11 耶和華又對摩西說： 12 「我從以色列人中揀選利未人代替以色列人所有的長子。利未人要屬於我， 13 因為所有頭生的都屬於我。我殺死埃及人所有的長子和頭生的牲畜那天，已把以色列人所有的長子和頭生的牲畜都分別出來，使之聖潔，歸給我，我是耶和華。」
14 耶和華在西奈曠野對摩西說： 15 「你要按利未人的宗族和家系統計他們的人口，登記所有年齡在一個月以上的男性。」 16 於是，摩西照耶和華的吩咐統計利未人。 17 利未的兒子是革順、哥轄和米拉利。 18 革順的兒子依次是立尼和示每。 19 哥轄的兒子依次是暗蘭、以斯哈、希伯崙和烏薛。 20 米拉利的兒子依次是抹利和姆示。他們按家系都屬於利未人的宗族。
21 革順宗族有立尼和示每兩個家族， 22 其中年齡在一個月以上的男性共七千五百人。 23 革順宗族的人要在聖幕的後面，即西面安營， 24 拉伊勒的兒子以利雅薩做首領。 25 他們負責看守會幕，即聖幕、聖幕的罩棚、頂蓋和門簾、 26 圍繞聖幕和祭壇的院子的帷幔、門簾、繩索及一切相關的物品。
27 哥轄宗族有暗蘭家族、以斯哈家族、希伯崙家族和烏薛家族， 28 其中年齡在一個月以上的男性共有八千六百人，他們負責看守聖所。 29 哥轄宗族的人要在聖幕南面安營， 30 烏薛的兒子以利撒反做首領。 31 他們負責照管約櫃、桌子、燈臺、兩座壇、聖所裡面的器具、幔子等一切物品。 32 亞倫祭司的兒子以利亞撒是利未人的最高首領，負責監督在聖所工作的人。
33 米拉利宗族有抹利和姆示兩個家族， 34 其中年齡在一個月以上的男性共六千二百人， 35 亞比亥的兒子蘇列做首領。他們要在聖幕的北面安營， 36 負責照管聖幕的木板、橫閂、柱子、帶凹槽的底座和聖幕的一切器具， 37 以及院子四周的柱子、帶凹槽的底座、橛子和繩索。
38 摩西、亞倫和亞倫的兒子們要在聖幕東面、朝日出的方向安營，為以色列人在聖所司職。凡擅自走近聖所的人，都要被處死。 39 摩西和亞倫照耶和華的吩咐，按宗族統計利未人，年齡在一個月以上的男性共兩萬二千人。
利未人代替長子的地位
40 耶和華對摩西說：「你要統計以色列人中年齡在一個月以上的長子，登記他們的姓名。 41 我是耶和華，你要把利未人歸給我，代替以色列人所有的長子，也要把利未人的牲畜獻給我，代替以色列人所有頭生的牲畜。」 42 摩西就照耶和華的吩咐統計了以色列人的長子， 43 年齡在一個月以上的共兩萬二千二百七十三人。 44 耶和華又對摩西說： 45 「你要用利未人代替以色列人所有的長子，用利未人的牲畜代替以色列人所有頭生的牲畜。利未人是屬於我的，我是耶和華。 46 以色列人所有長子的人數比利未人總數多二百七十三人，這些多出來的人需要被贖回， 47 每人折合五十五克銀子，要以聖所的秤為準，即一舍客勒[a]是二十季拉。 48 要把贖銀交給亞倫父子們。」 49 摩西就收取了那二百七十三人的贖銀， 50 以聖所的秤計算，共十五公斤銀子， 51 照耶和華的吩咐，將贖銀交給亞倫父子們。

亞倫的後代
3 耶和華在西奈山上與摩西說話的日子，亞倫和摩西的後代如下。 2 亞倫的兒子的名字如下：長子是拿答，還有亞比戶、以利亞撒、以他瑪。 3 這就是亞倫的兒子的名字，他們是受膏的祭司，是摩西叫他們承受聖職擔任祭司的職分的。 4 拿答和亞比戶在西奈曠野把凡火獻在耶和華面前的時候，死在耶和華面前；他們沒有兒子；以利亞撒和以他瑪，就在他們的父親亞倫面前，擔任祭司的職分。
利未人的職責
5 耶和華對摩西說： 6 “你要叫利未支派近前來，使他們站在亞倫祭司面前，可以服事他。 7 他們要替亞倫和全體會眾，在會幕前盡上本分，辦理帳幕的事。 8 他們又要看守管理會幕裡的一切器具，也要替以色列人盡上本分，辦理帳幕的事。 9 你要把利未人派給亞倫和他的兒子，因為他們是從以色列人中選出來完全給他的。 10 你要委派亞倫和他的兒子，使他們謹守自己祭司的職分；外人走近，必被治死。”
利未人被選
11 耶和華告訴摩西： 12 “看哪，我從以色列人中，揀選了利未人，代替以色列人所有頭生的，就是他們的長子，所以利未人要歸我。 13 因為所有頭生的，都是我的；我在埃及地擊殺所有頭生的那天，就把以色列中所有頭生的，無論人畜，都分別為聖歸我；他們要歸我，我是耶和華。”
數點利未人的人口
14 耶和華在西奈曠野對摩西說： 15 “你要照著利未人的父家、宗族，數點他們；所有男丁，一個月及以上的，你都要數點。” 16 於是，摩西照著耶和華的命令，就是耶和華吩咐他的，數點了利未人。 17 利未眾子的名字是：革順、哥轄、米拉利。 18 革順兒子的名字，按著宗族，是立尼和示每。 19 哥轄的兒子，按著宗族，是暗蘭、以斯哈、希伯倫、烏薛。 20 米拉利的兒子，按著宗族，是抹利、母示。這些人按著他們的父家，都是利未人的宗族。
21 屬革順的，有立尼家族和示每家族；這是革順人的家族。 22 根據所有男丁的數目，一個月及以上，被數點的，共有七千五百人。 23 革順人的家族，要在帳幕的後面，就是西方安營； 24 革順人家族的領袖是拉伊勒的兒子以利雅薩。 25 革順的子孫在會幕中的職分，是看守帳幕、罩棚、罩棚的頂蓋和會幕門口的簾子， 26 還有院子的帷幔、院子門口的簾子（院子是環繞帳幕和祭壇的），以及院子使用的一切繩子。
27 屬哥轄的，有暗蘭家族、以斯哈家族、希伯倫家族和烏薛家族；這是哥轄人的家族。 28 根據所有男丁的數目，一個月及以上的，共有八千六百人；他們要盡看守聖所的職分。 29 哥轄子孫的家族要在帳幕的南方安營。 30 哥轄家族的領袖是烏薛的兒子以利撒反。 31 他們的職分是管理約櫃、桌子、燈臺、兩座壇，以及他們在聖所內使用的器具、簾子和帳幕裡使用的一切東西。 32 亞倫祭司的兒子以利亞撒要作利未人眾領袖中的領袖，要監察那些盡看守聖所職分的人。
33 屬米拉利的，有抹利家族和母示家族；這些是米拉利的家族。 34 根據所有男丁的數目，一個月及以上，被數點的，共有六千二百人。 35 米拉利二家族的領袖，是亞比亥的兒子蘇列；他們要在帳幕的北方安營。 36 米拉利子孫的職分，是看守帳幕的木板、門閂、柱子、插座、一切器具，以及負責一切有關的事務， 37 還有看守院子四周的柱子、插座、橛子和繩子。
38 在帳幕前面東邊，就是在會幕前向日出的方向安營的，是摩西、亞倫和亞倫的兒子；他們代替以色列人應盡的職責，看守聖所；外人近前來，必被治死。 39 摩西和亞倫照著耶和華的命令，數點了所有的利未人；按著家族，凡是男丁，一個月及以上被數點的，共有二萬二千人。
利未人代替以色列人頭生的
40 耶和華對摩西說：“以色列人中所有頭生的男子，一個月及以上的，你都要數點；登記他們的姓名。 41 我是耶和華，你要把利未人歸我，代替以色列人所有頭生的；也要把利未人的牲畜歸我，代替以色列人中一切頭生的牲畜。” 42 摩西就照著耶和華吩咐他的，把以色列人所有頭生的都數點了。 43 根據人名的數目，一個月及以上，凡是頭生的男子，被數點的，共有二萬二千二百七十三個。
44 耶和華對摩西說： 45 “你要揀選利未人代替以色列人所有頭生的，也要揀選利未人的牲畜代替以色列人的牲畜；利未人要歸我，我是耶和華。 46 至於那超過利未人總數的二百七十三個，需要贖回的以色列人的長子， 47 你要每人收取贖銀五十七克，要按照人數，根據聖所的秤收取，就是按照聖所的標準重量（“就是按照聖所的標準重量”，原文作“一舍客勒是二十季拉”）。 48 你要把那超額人數的贖銀，交給亞倫和他的兒子。” 49 於是，摩西就從那些被利未人贖回以外的人收取贖銀； 50 從頭生的以色列人收取的銀子，根據聖所的秤，共有約十五公斤。 51 摩西照著耶和華的吩咐，把這贖銀交給了亞倫和他的兒子，正如耶和華吩咐摩西的。
Numbers 3
King James Version
3 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
13 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the Lord.
14 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.
17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.
19 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
20 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.
21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.
23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.
24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
27 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
28 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.
30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.
32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.
35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.
36 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,
37 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
40 And the Lord said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the Lord) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
42 And Moses numbered, as the Lord commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
44 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the Lord.
46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;
47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)
48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
