The Sons of Aaron

When the Lord talked with Moses on Mount Sinai, (A) Aaron's four sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, were the ones to be ordained as priests. (B) But the Lord killed Nadab and Abihu in the Sinai Desert when they used fire that was unacceptable[a] in their offering to the Lord.[b] And because Nadab and Abihu had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests with their father Aaron.

The Duties of the Levites

The Lord said to Moses:

Assign the Levi tribe to Aaron the priest. They will be his assistants and will work at the sacred tent for him and for all the Israelites. The Levites will serve the community by being responsible for the furnishings of the tent. They are assigned to help Aaron and his sons, 10 who have been appointed to be priests. Anyone else who tries to perform the duties of a priest must be put to death.

11-13 (C) Moses, I have chosen these Levites from all Israel, and they will belong to me in a special way. When I killed the first-born sons of the Egyptians, I decided that the first-born sons in every Israelite family and the first-born males of their flocks and herds would be mine.[c] But now I accept these Levites in place of the first-born sons of the Israelites.

The Levites Are Counted

14 In the Sinai Desert the Lord said to Moses, 15 “Now I want you to count the men and boys in the Levi tribe by families and by clans. Include every one at least a month old.” 16 So Moses obeyed and counted them.

17 Levi's three sons, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, had become the heads of their own clans. 18 Gershon's sons were Libni and Shimei. 19 Kohath's sons were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 20 And Merari's sons were Mahli and Mushi. These were the sons and grandsons of Levi, and they had become the leaders of the Levite clans.

21 The two Gershon clans were the Libnites and Shimeites, 22 and they had 7,500 men and boys at least one month old. 23-24 The Gershonites, under the leadership of Eliasaph son of Lael, were to camp on the west side of the sacred tent. 25 Their duties at the tent included taking care of the tent itself, along with its outer covering, the curtain for the entrance, 26 the curtains hanging inside the courtyard around the tent, as well as the curtain and ropes for the entrance to the courtyard and its altar. The Gershonites were responsible for setting these things up and taking them down.

27 The four Kohath clans were the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and the Uzzielites, 28 and they had 8,600[d] men and boys at least one month old. 29-30 The Kohathites, under the leadership of Elizaphan son of Uzziel, were to camp on the south side of the sacred tent. 31 Their duties at the tent included taking care of the sacred chest, the table for the sacred bread, the lampstand, the altars, the objects used for worship, and the curtain in front of the most holy place. The Kohathites were responsible for setting these things up and taking them down.

32 Eleazar son of Aaron was the head of the Levite leaders, and he made sure that the work at the sacred tent was done.

33 The two Merari clans were the Mahlites and the Mushites, 34 and they had 6,200 men and boys at least one month old. 35 The Merarites, under the leadership of Zuriel son of Abihail, were to camp on the north side of the sacred tent. 36-37 Their duties included taking care of the tent frames and the pieces that held the tent up: the bars, the posts, the stands, and its other equipment. They were also in charge of the posts that supported the courtyard, as well as their stands, tent pegs, and ropes. The Merari clans were responsible for setting these things up and taking them down.

38 Moses, Aaron, and his sons were to camp in front of the sacred tent, on the east side, and to make sure that the Israelites worshiped in the proper way. Anyone else who tried to do the work of Moses and Aaron was to be put to death.

39 So Moses and Aaron obeyed the Lord and counted the Levites by their clans. The total number of Levites at least one month old was 22,000.

The Levites Are Accepted as Substitutes for the First-Born Sons

40 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a list and count the first-born sons at least one month old in each of the Israelite families. 41 They belong to me, but I will accept the Levites as substitutes for them, and I will accept the Levites' livestock as substitutes for the Israelites' first-born livestock.”

42 Moses obeyed the Lord and counted the first-born sons; 43 there were 22,273 of them.

44 Then the Lord said, 45 “The Levites will belong to me and will take the place of the first-born sons; their livestock will take the place of the Israelites' first-born livestock. 46 But since there are more first-born sons than Levites, the extra 273 men and boys must be bought back from me. 47 For each one, you are to collect five pieces of silver, weighed according to the official standards. 48 This money must then be given to Aaron and his sons.”

49 Moses collected the silver from the extra 273 first-born men and boys, 50 and it amounted to 1,365 pieces of silver, weighed according to the official standards. 51 Then he gave it to Aaron and his sons, just as the Lord had commanded.

Áron és családja

Ezek voltak Áron és Mózes leszármazottai, amikor beszélt az Úr Mózeshez a Sínai-hegyen.

Így hívták Áron fiait: Nádáb volt az elsőszülött, azután Abíhú, Eleázár és Ítámár.

Így hívták Áron fiait, a fölkent papokat, akiket felavattak a papi szolgálatra.

De Nádáb és Abíhú meghalt az Úr színe előtt, amikor idegen tűzzel járultak az Úr színe elé a Sínai-pusztában, fiaik pedig nem voltak. Ezért Eleázár és Ítámár végezték a papi szolgálatot apjuknak, Áronnak a felügyelete alatt.

A léviták feladata

Azután így beszélt az Úr Mózeshez:

Vezesd ide Lévi törzsét, és állítsd Áron főpap elé, hogy a szolgálatában segédkezzenek.

Álljanak szolgálatára és az egész közösség szolgálatára a kijelentés sátránál, és végezzék a tennivalókat a hajlék körül.

Ügyeljenek a kijelentés sátrának egész fölszerelésére és álljanak Izráel fiainak a szolgálatára a hajlék körüli tennivalók ellátásával.

Oszd be a lévitákat Áron és fiai mellé, mert egészen az én tulajdonaim ők Izráel fiai között.

10 Áronnak és fiainak pedig rendeld el, hogy végezzék papi teendőiket. Ha illetéktelen avatkozik bele, meg kell halnia.

11 Majd így beszélt az Úr Mózeshez:

12 Íme, én magam vettem ki a lévitákat Izráel fiai közül minden elsőszülött helyett, aki Izráel fiainál anyja méhét megnyitja: azért legyenek a léviták az enyéim.

13 Mert minden elsőszülött az enyém! Amikor megöltem Egyiptomban minden elsőszülöttet, magamnak szenteltem minden elsőszülöttet Izráelben. Mind az emberé, mind az állaté az enyém legyen. Én vagyok az Úr!

14 Azután így beszélt az Úr Mózeshez a Sínai-pusztában:

15 Vedd számba Lévi fiait nagycsaládonként és nemzetségenként! Az egyhónapos fiúktól fölfelé minden férfit végy számba!

16 Számba vette azért őket Mózes az Úr szava szerint, ahogyan megparancsolta.

17 Név szerint ezek voltak Lévi fiai: Gérsón, Kehát és Merári.

18 Ezek Gérsón fiainak a nevei és nemzetségei: Libni és Simei.

19 Kehát fiai és nemzetségei: Amrám, Jichár, Hebrón és Uzzíél.

20 Merári fiai és nemzetségei: Mahli és Músi. Ezek Lévi nemzetségei és nagycsaládjai.

21 Gérsóntól való a Libni-nemzetség és a Simei-nemzetség. Ezek a gérsóni nemzetségek.

22 A számba vett férfiak, akiket az egyhónapos fiúktól fölfelé számba vettek, szám szerint összesen hétezer-ötszázan voltak.

23 A gérsóni nemzetségeknek a hajlék mögött, nyugatra kellett táborozniuk.

24 A gérsóniak nagycsaládjának a feje Eljászáf, Láél fia volt.

25 Gérsón fiainak a feladata volt a kijelentés sátránál, a hajléknál, a sátornál, a sátor takarójánál, a kijelentés sátra bejárati függönyénél,

26 az udvar szőnyegfalainál, a hajlékot és az oltárt körülvevő udvar bejárati függönyénél és a hozzá tartozó köteleknél minden tennivaló elvégzése.

27 Keháttól való az Amrám-nemzetség, a Jichár-nemzetség, a Hebrón-nemzetség és az Uzzíél-nemzetség. Ezek a keháti nemzetségek.

28 Az egyhónapos fiúktól fölfelé a férfiak száma összesen nyolcezer-hatszáz volt. Ők voltak a szentély szolgálatára rendelve.

29 Kehát fiainak a nemzetségei dél felől, a hajlék oldala mellett táboroztak.

30 A keháti nemzetségek családfője Elicáfán, Uzzíél fia volt.

31 Az ő feladatuk volt a ládánál, az asztalnál, a lámpatartónál, az oltároknál, a szentélyben használt istentiszteleti fölszerelésnél és a függönynél minden szolgálat elvégzése.

32 A léviták legfőbb fejedelme Eleázár, Áron főpap fia volt, ő ügyelt fel azokra, akik a szentélynél végezték a tennivalókat.

33 Meráritól való a Mahlí-nemzetség és a Músí-nemzetség. Ezek Merári nemzetségei.

34 Az egyhónapos fiúktól fölfelé a számba vett férfiak száma összesen hatezer-kétszáz volt.

35 A Merári-nemzetségek családfője Cúriél, Abiháil fia volt. Észak felől, a hajlék oldala mellett táboroztak.

36 Merári fiainak a gondjaira bízták a hajlék deszkáit, reteszeit, oszlopait és talpait, egész fölszerelését és minden tennivalót azokkal kapcsolatban,

37 továbbá az udvar körül levő oszlopokat, azok talpait, cövekeit és köteleit.

38 A hajlék előtt, a kijelentés sátrától napkeletre Mózes, Áron és fiai táboroztak, akik a szent hely körül végezték teendőiket Izráel fiainak a szolgálatában. Ha illetéktelen avatkozott bele, meg kellett halnia.

39 Az összes névjegyzékbe vett lévita, akiket számba vett Mózes és Áron nemzetségenként az Úr parancsára az egyhónapos fiúktól fölfelé, összesen huszonkétezer férfi volt.

Izráel elsőszülötteinek a száma

40 Azután ezt mondta Mózesnek az Úr: Vedd számba Izráel fiai közül az elsőszülött férfiakat mind, az egyhónapos fiúktól fölfelé, és vedd őket névjegyzékbe!

41 De vedd külön a lévitákat nekem, az Úrnak, Izráel fiainak összes elsőszülöttje helyett, és a léviták állatait Izráel állatainak minden elsőszülöttje helyett.

42 Számba is vette Mózes Izráel fiainak minden elsőszülöttjét, ahogyan megparancsolta neki az Úr.

43 A névjegyzékbe vett elsőszülött férfiak az egyhónapos fiúktól fölfelé összesen huszonkétezer-kétszázhetvenhárman voltak.

44 Azután így beszélt az Úr Mózeshez:

45 Vedd külön a lévitákat Izráel fiainak minden elsőszülöttje helyett, és a léviták állatait azok állatai helyett, és legyenek a léviták az enyéim. Én vagyok az Úr!

46 Attól a kétszázhetvenhárom kiváltandótól pedig, akik a léviták létszámán felül vannak Izráel fiainak az elsőszülöttjei között,

47 szedj öt-öt sekelt fejenként. A szent sekel szerint vedd, amelyben húsz géra egy sekel.

48 Add azt a pénzt Áronnak és fiainak, azokért a kiváltandókért, akik közöttük létszámon felüliek.

49 Mózes tehát váltságpénzt szedett a léviták létszámán felül kiváltandóktól.

50 Izráel fiainak az elsőszülöttjeitől szedte be a pénzt, ezerháromszázhatvanöt sekelt, a szent sekel szerint.

51 Mózes a váltságpénzt Áronnak és fiainak adta, az Úr parancsa szerint, ahogyan megparancsolta az Úr Mózesnek.

The Sons of Aaron(A)

Now these are the (B)records[a] of Aaron and Moses when the Lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai. And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab, the (C)firstborn, and (D)Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. These are the names of the sons of Aaron, (E)the anointed priests, [b]whom he consecrated to minister as priests. (F)Nadab and Abihu had died before the Lord when they offered profane fire before the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai; and they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the presence of Aaron their father.

The Levites Serve in the Tabernacle

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: (G)“Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him. And they shall attend to his needs and the needs of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of meeting, to do (H)the work of the tabernacle. Also they shall attend to all the furnishings of the tabernacle of meeting, and to the needs of the children of Israel, to do the work of the tabernacle. And (I)you shall give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they are given entirely to [c]him from among the children of Israel. 10 So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, (J)and they shall attend to their priesthood; (K)but the outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”

11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 12 “Now behold, (L)I Myself have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn who opens the womb among the children of Israel. Therefore the Levites shall be (M)Mine, 13 because (N)all the firstborn are Mine. (O)On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They shall be Mine: I am the Lord.”

Census of the Levites Commanded(P)

14 Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying: 15 “Number the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families; you shall number (Q)every male from a month old and above.”

16 So Moses numbered them according to the [d]word of the Lord, as he was commanded. 17 (R)These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 18 And these are the names of the sons of (S)Gershon by their families: (T)Libni and Shimei. 19 And the sons of (U)Kohath by their families: (V)Amram, Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 20 (W)And the sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites by their fathers’ houses.

21 From Gershon came the family of the Libnites and the family of the Shimites; these were the families of the Gershonites. 22 Those who were numbered, according to the number of all the males from a month old and above—of those who were numbered there were seven thousand five hundred. 23 (X)The families of the Gershonites were to camp behind the tabernacle westward. 24 And the leader of the father’s house of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael. 25 (Y)The duties of the children of Gershon in the tabernacle of meeting included (Z)the tabernacle, (AA)the tent with (AB)its covering, (AC)the screen for the door of the tabernacle of meeting, 26 (AD)the screen for the door of the court, (AE)the hangings of the court which are around the tabernacle and the altar, and (AF)their cords, according to all the work relating to them.

27 (AG)From Kohath came the family of the Amramites, the family of the Izharites, the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites; these were the families of the Kohathites. 28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and above, there were eight thousand [e]six hundred [f]keeping charge of the sanctuary. 29 (AH)The families of the children of Kohath were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle. 30 And the leader of the fathers’ house of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of (AI)Uzziel. 31 (AJ)Their duty included (AK)the ark, (AL)the table, (AM)the lampstand, (AN)the altars, the utensils of the sanctuary with which they ministered, (AO)the screen, and all the work relating to them.

32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest was to be chief over the leaders of the Levites, with oversight of those who kept charge of the sanctuary.

33 From Merari came the family of the Mahlites and the family of the Mushites; these were the families of Merari. 34 And those who were numbered, according to the number of all the males from a month old and above, were six thousand two hundred. 35 The leader of the fathers’ house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. (AP)These were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle. 36 And (AQ)the appointed duty of the children of Merari included the boards of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, its utensils, all the work relating to them, 37 and the pillars of the court all around, with their sockets, their pegs, and their cords.

38 (AR)Moreover those who were to camp before the tabernacle on the east, before the tabernacle of meeting, were Moses, Aaron, and his sons, (AS)keeping charge of the sanctuary, (AT)to meet the needs of the children of Israel; but (AU)the outsider who came near was to be put to death. 39 (AV)All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, by their families, all the males from a month old and above, were twenty-two thousand.

Levites Dedicated Instead of the Firstborn

40 Then the Lord said to Moses: (AW)“Number[g] all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and above, and take the number of their names. 41 (AX)And you shall take the Levites for Me—I am the Lord—instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel.” 42 So Moses numbered all the firstborn among the children of Israel, as the Lord commanded him. 43 And all the firstborn males, according to the number of names from a month old and above, of those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.

44 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 45 (AY)“Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock. The Levites shall be Mine: I am the Lord. 46 And for (AZ)the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel, (BA)who are more than the number of the Levites, 47 you shall take (BB)five shekels for each one (BC)individually; you shall take them in the currency of the shekel of the sanctuary, (BD)the shekel of twenty gerahs. 48 And you shall give the money, with which the excess number of them is redeemed, to Aaron and his sons.”

49 So Moses took the redemption money from those who were over and above those who were redeemed by the Levites. 50 From the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, (BE)one thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. 51 And Moses (BF)gave their redemption money to Aaron and his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

The Levites

This is the account of the family of Aaron and Moses(A) at the time the Lord spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai.(B)

The names of the sons of Aaron were Nadab the firstborn(C) and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.(D) Those were the names of Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests,(E) who were ordained to serve as priests. Nadab and Abihu, however, died before the Lord(F) when they made an offering with unauthorized fire before him in the Desert of Sinai.(G) They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar(H) served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.(I)

The Lord said to Moses, “Bring the tribe of Levi(J) and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.(K) They are to perform duties for him and for the whole community(L) at the tent of meeting by doing the work(M) of the tabernacle. They are to take care of all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, fulfilling the obligations of the Israelites by doing the work of the tabernacle. Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons;(N) they are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to him.[a] 10 Appoint Aaron(O) and his sons to serve as priests;(P) anyone else who approaches the sanctuary is to be put to death.”(Q)

11 The Lord also said to Moses, 12 “I have taken the Levites(R) from among the Israelites in place of the first male offspring(S) of every Israelite woman. The Levites are mine,(T) 13 for all the firstborn are mine.(U) When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set apart for myself every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal. They are to be mine. I am the Lord.”(V)

14 The Lord said to Moses in the Desert of Sinai,(W) 15 “Count(X) the Levites by their families and clans. Count every male a month old or more.”(Y) 16 So Moses counted them, as he was commanded by the word of the Lord.

17 These were the names of the sons of Levi:(Z)

Gershon,(AA) Kohath(AB) and Merari.(AC)

18 These were the names of the Gershonite clans:

Libni and Shimei.(AD)

19 The Kohathite clans:

Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.(AE)

20 The Merarite clans:(AF)

Mahli and Mushi.(AG)

These were the Levite clans, according to their families.

21 To Gershon(AH) belonged the clans of the Libnites and Shimeites;(AI) these were the Gershonite clans. 22 The number of all the males a month old or more who were counted was 7,500. 23 The Gershonite clans were to camp on the west, behind the tabernacle.(AJ) 24 The leader of the families of the Gershonites was Eliasaph son of Lael. 25 At the tent of meeting the Gershonites were responsible for the care of the tabernacle(AK) and tent, its coverings,(AL) the curtain at the entrance(AM) to the tent of meeting,(AN) 26 the curtains of the courtyard(AO), the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard surrounding the tabernacle and altar,(AP) and the ropes(AQ)—and everything(AR) related to their use.

27 To Kohath(AS) belonged the clans of the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites and Uzzielites;(AT) these were the Kohathite(AU) clans. 28 The number of all the males a month old or more(AV) was 8,600.[b] The Kohathites were responsible(AW) for the care of the sanctuary.(AX) 29 The Kohathite clans were to camp on the south side(AY) of the tabernacle. 30 The leader of the families of the Kohathite clans was Elizaphan(AZ) son of Uzziel. 31 They were responsible for the care of the ark,(BA) the table,(BB) the lampstand,(BC) the altars,(BD) the articles(BE) of the sanctuary used in ministering, the curtain,(BF) and everything related to their use.(BG) 32 The chief leader of the Levites was Eleazar(BH) son of Aaron, the priest. He was appointed over those who were responsible(BI) for the care of the sanctuary.(BJ)

33 To Merari belonged the clans of the Mahlites and the Mushites;(BK) these were the Merarite clans.(BL) 34 The number of all the males a month old or more(BM) who were counted was 6,200. 35 The leader of the families of the Merarite clans was Zuriel son of Abihail; they were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle.(BN) 36 The Merarites were appointed(BO) to take care of the frames of the tabernacle,(BP) its crossbars,(BQ) posts,(BR) bases, all its equipment, and everything related to their use,(BS) 37 as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard(BT) with their bases, tent pegs(BU) and ropes.

38 Moses and Aaron and his sons were to camp to the east(BV) of the tabernacle, toward the sunrise, in front of the tent of meeting.(BW) They were responsible for the care of the sanctuary(BX) on behalf of the Israelites. Anyone else who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death.(BY)

39 The total number of Levites counted(BZ) at the Lord’s command by Moses and Aaron according to their clans, including every male a month old or more, was 22,000.(CA)

40 The Lord said to Moses, “Count all the firstborn Israelite males who are a month old or more(CB) and make a list of their names.(CC) 41 Take the Levites for me in place of all the firstborn of the Israelites,(CD) and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites. I am the Lord.”(CE)

42 So Moses counted all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the Lord commanded him. 43 The total number of firstborn males a month old or more,(CF) listed by name, was 22,273.(CG)

44 The Lord also said to Moses, 45 “Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites are to be mine.(CH) I am the Lord.(CI) 46 To redeem(CJ) the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of the Levites, 47 collect five shekels[c](CK) for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel,(CL) which weighs twenty gerahs.(CM) 48 Give the money for the redemption(CN) of the additional Israelites to Aaron and his sons.”(CO)

49 So Moses collected the redemption money(CP) from those who exceeded the number redeemed by the Levites. 50 From the firstborn of the Israelites(CQ) he collected silver weighing 1,365 shekels,[d](CR) according to the sanctuary shekel. 51 Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons, as he was commanded by the word of the Lord.
