哥轄子孫之職任
4 耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說： 2 「你從利未人中，將哥轄子孫的總數，照他們的家室、宗族， 3 從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職，在會幕裡辦事的，全都計算。 4 哥轄子孫在會幕搬運至聖之物，所辦的事乃是這樣： 5 起營的時候，亞倫和他兒子要進去摘下遮掩櫃的幔子，用以蒙蓋法櫃。 6 又用海狗皮蓋在上頭，再蒙上純藍色的毯子，把槓穿上。 7 又用藍色毯子鋪在陳設餅的桌子上，將盤子、調羹、奠酒的爵和杯擺在上頭，桌子上也必有常設的餅。 8 在其上又要蒙朱紅色的毯子，再蒙上海狗皮，把槓穿上。 9 要拿藍色毯子，把燈臺和燈臺上所用的燈盞、剪子、蠟花盤並一切盛油的器皿，全都遮蓋。 10 又要把燈臺和燈臺的一切器具包在海狗皮裡，放在抬架上。 11 在金壇上要鋪藍色毯子，蒙上海狗皮，把槓穿上。 12 又要把聖所用的一切器具包在藍色毯子裡，用海狗皮蒙上，放在抬架上。 13 要收去壇上的灰，把紫色毯子鋪在壇上。 14 又要把所用的一切器具，就是火鼎、肉叉子、鏟子、盤子，一切屬壇的器具都擺在壇上。又蒙上海狗皮，把槓穿上。 15 將要起營的時候，亞倫和他兒子把聖所和聖所的一切器具遮蓋完了，哥轄的子孫就要來抬，只是不可摸聖物，免得他們死亡。會幕裡這些物件是哥轄子孫所當抬的。 16 祭司亞倫的兒子以利亞撒所要看守的是點燈的油與香料，並當獻的素祭和膏油，也要看守全帳幕與其中所有的，並聖所和聖所的器具。」
17 耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說： 18 「你們不可將哥轄人的支派從利未人中剪除。 19 他們挨近至聖物的時候，亞倫和他兒子要進去，派他們各人所當辦的、所當抬的。這樣待他們，好使他們活著，不致死亡。 20 只是他們連片時不可進去觀看聖所，免得他們死亡。」
革順子孫之職任
21 耶和華曉諭摩西說： 22 「你要將革順子孫的總數，照著宗族、家室， 23 從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職，在會幕裡辦事的，全都數點。 24 革順人各族所辦的事、所抬的物乃是這樣： 25 他們要抬帳幕的幔子和會幕，並會幕的蓋與其上的海狗皮和會幕的門簾， 26 院子的帷子和門簾（院子是圍帳幕和壇的）、繩子，並所用的器具，不論是做什麼用的，他們都要經理。 27 革順的子孫在一切抬物辦事之上都要憑亞倫和他兒子的吩咐。他們所當抬的，要派他們看守。 28 這是革順子孫的各族在會幕裡所辦的事。他們所看守的，必在祭司亞倫兒子以他瑪的手下。
米拉利子孫之職任
29 「至於米拉利的子孫，你要照著家室、宗族把他們數點。 30 從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職，在會幕裡辦事的，你都要數點。 31 他們辦理會幕的事，就是抬帳幕的板、閂、柱子和帶卯的座， 32 院子四圍的柱子和其上帶卯的座，橛子、繩子，並一切使用的器具。他們所抬的器具，你們要按名指定。 33 這是米拉利子孫各族在會幕裡所辦的事，都在祭司亞倫兒子以他瑪的手下。」
34 摩西、亞倫與會眾的諸首領將哥轄的子孫，照著家室、宗族， 35 從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職，在會幕裡辦事的，都數點了， 36 被數的共有二千七百五十名。 37 這是哥轄各族中被數的，是在會幕裡辦事的，就是摩西、亞倫照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐數點的。
38 革順子孫被數的，照著家室、宗族， 40 從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職，在會幕裡辦事的，共有二千六百三十名。 41 這是革順子孫各族中被數的，是在會幕裡辦事的，就是摩西、亞倫照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐數點的。
42 米拉利子孫中各族被數的，照著家室、宗族， 44 從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職，在會幕裡辦事的，共有三千二百名。 45 這是米拉利子孫各族中被數的，就是摩西、亞倫照耶和華藉摩西所吩咐數點的。
記利未人自三十歲至五十歲者之數
46 凡被數的利未人，就是摩西、亞倫並以色列眾首領，照著家室、宗族所數點的， 48 從三十歲直到五十歲，凡前來任職，在會幕裡做抬物之工的，共有八千五百八十名。 49 摩西按他們所辦的事、所抬的物，憑耶和華的吩咐數點他們。他們這樣被摩西數點，正如耶和華所吩咐他的。
Numbers 4
Lexham English Bible
The Census of the Kohathites
4 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 “Take a census[a] of the descendants[b] of Kohath from the midst of the descendants[c] of Levi, according to their clans and their families,[d] 3 from thirty years old[e] and above, up to fifty years old,[f] everyone who comes to the service to do the work in the tent of assembly. 4 This is the work of the descendants[g] of Kohath in the tent of assembly, concerning the holiness of the sanctuary: 5 When setting out the camp, Aaron and his sons will go and lower the curtain of the covering and cover with it the ark of the testimony.[h] 6 They will put on it a covering of fine leather,[i] and they will spread a cloth of perfect blue over it, and they will place its poles. 7 And over the table of the presence they will spread out a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes, and libation bowls, and the pitchers of the libation; and the bread of continuity will be on it. 8 They will spread over it a scarlet cloth, and they will cover it with a covering of fine leather,[j] and they will place its poles. 9 They will take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand for the light source, its lamps, a pair of its tongs, its small pans, and all the vessels of its oil with which they attend to it. 10 They will put it and all its vessels inside a covering of fine leather[k] and put it on the carrying frame. 11 Over the altar of gold they will spread a blue cloth, and they will cover it with a covering of fine leather[l] and place its poles. 12 They will take all the vessels of the cultic service with which they serve in the sanctuary and put them on a blue cloth, and they will cover them with a covering of fine leather;[m] and they will put them on the carrying frame. 13 They will remove the fat-soaked ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth over it; 14 they will put on it all the vessels with which they serve, the fire pans, forks, shovels, and bowls—all the vessels of the altar. They will spread on it a covering of fine leather;[n] and they will place its poles. 15 And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the vessels of the sanctuary when the camp sets out, the descendants[o] of Kohath will come after to carry these, but they must not touch the sanctuary, or they will die. These are the load of the descendants[p] of Kohath in the tent of assembly.
16 “Eleazar son of Aaron the priest is to supervise the oil of the light source, the incense, the regular grain offering,[q] the oil of anointment, the supervision of all the tabernacle and all that is in it, in the sanctuary and in its vessels.”
17 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 18 “You must not cut off the tribe of the clan of the Kohathites[r] from the midst of the Levites. 19 Do this to them and they will live and not die when they come near the most holy things. Aaron and his sons will go and appoint them, each one to his task and burden. 20 But they must not go and look for a moment[s] at the holy objects.”
21 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 22 “Take a census[t] of the descendants[u] of Gershon also, according to their families[v] and clans, 23 from those twenty years old[w] and above until fifty years old;[x] you will muster[y] them, all who come to help to do the work of the tent of assembly. 24 This is the work of the clans of the Gershonites:[z] to serve and to carry. 25 They will carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the tent of assembly and its covering and the covering of fine leather,[aa] which is on top of it,[ab] and the curtain of the doorway of the tent of assembly, 26 and the curtains of the courtyard, and the covering for the doorway of the gate of the courtyard, which is all around on the tabernacle and altar, and their cords and all the vessels of their work; and all that is done to them they will do. 27 And all the work of the descendants[ac] of the Gershonites[ad] will be at the command[ae] of Aaron and his sons, for all they are to carry and for all their work, and you will appoint to them responsibility for all they are to carry. 28 This is the work of the clan of the descendants[af] of the Gershonites[ag] in the tent of assembly, and their responsibility lies under the direction[ah] of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
29 “For the descendants[ai] of Merari according to their clans, according to their families,[aj] you will muster[ak] them; 30 from those thirty years old[al] and above until fifty years old;[am] you will muster[an] them, all who come to do the work of the tent of assembly. 31 And this is the responsibility of those who are to carry,[ao] all their work in the tent of assembly: the frames of the tabernacle and its bars, pillars, and bases, 32 and the pillars of the courtyard all around, and their bases, pegs, and cords, with all their vessels and for all their work. You will appoint by name the vessels that they are responsible to carry. 33 This is the work of the clan of the descendants[ap] of Merari, for all their work in the tent of assembly under the direction[aq] of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”
34 And Moses and Aaron mustered the leaders of the community according to the house of their families,[ar] 35 from those thirty years old[as] and above until fifty years old;[at] everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly, 36 the ones counted[au] were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 37 These were those counted of the clans of the Kohathites,[av] everyone who served in the tent of assembly whom Moses and Aaron mustered[aw] according to the command[ax] of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.[ay]
38 And the descendants[az] of Gershon counted according to their clans and according to their families,[ba] 39 from those thirty years old[bb] and above until fifty years old,[bc] everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly; 40 the ones counted,[bd] according to their clans, according to their families,[be] were two thousand six hundred and thirty. 41 These were those counted of the clans of the descendants[bf] of Gershon, everyone who serves in the tent of assembly whom Moses and Aaron mustered[bg] according to the command[bh] of Yahweh.
42 Those counted of the clans of the descendants[bi] of Merari according to their clans, according to their families,[bj] 43 from those thirty years old[bk] and above until fifty years old,[bl] everyone who comes to the service to work in the tent of assembly, 44 the ones counted,[bm] according to their clans, were three thousand two hundred. 45 These were those counted of the clans of the descendants[bn] of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron mustered[bo] according to the command[bp] of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.[bq]
46 All those counted of the Levites whom Moses and Aaron and all the leaders of Israel mustered[br] according to their clans, according to their families,[bs] 47 from those thirty years old[bt] and above until fifty years old,[bu] everyone who comes to the service to do the work of the service carrying in the tent of assembly, 48 the ones counted[bv] were eighty thousand five hundred and eighty. 49 According to the command[bw] of Yahweh by the hand of Moses[bx] they were mustered,[by] each man according to his service and according to their[bz] service and according to their[ca] burden; and so they were counted by him just as Yahweh commanded Moses.
