Aronovi sinovi

3 Ovo je povijest Aronove i Mojsijeve obitelji u vrijeme kad je BOG govorio Mojsiju na Sinajskoj planini.

2 Imena Aronovih sinova bila su: prvorođeni Nadab, zatim Abihu, Eleazar i Itamar. 3 Bila su to imena Aronovih sinova, odabranih[a] za svećenike, a bili su postavljeni da služe kao svećenici. 4 No Nadab i Abihu bili su poginuli kad su u Sinajskoj pustinji pred BOGOM prinijeli nepropisan prinos.[b] Budući da nisu imali sinove, samo su Eleazar i Itamar služili kao svećenici za života svog oca Arona.

Uloga i dužnosti Levijevog plemena

5 BOG je rekao Mojsiju: 6 »Okupi Levijevo pleme pa ih dodijeli svećeniku Aronu da mu pomažu. 7 Neka rade kod Šatora sastanka za njega i cijelu zajednicu, obavljajući poslove vezane uz Sveti šator. 8 Neka vode brigu o svoj opremi Šatora sastanka i neka rade za Izraelce, obavljajući poslove vezane uz Sveti šator. 9 Levite daj Aronu i njegovim potomcima jer su od svih Izraelaca oni izabrani da se u potpunosti daju njemu. 10 Postavi Arona i sinove da služe kao svećenici. Ako netko drugi pokuša vršiti svećeničku službu, neka se pogubi.«

11 BOG je još rekao Mojsiju: 12 »Umjesto svih prvorođenaca koji se rode Izraelcima, uzeo sam Levite i oni su moji, 13 jer prvorođenci pripadaju meni. Nakon što sam pobio sve prvorođence u Egiptu, odlučio sam za sebe odvojiti sve prvorođence u Izraelu, bio to čovjek ili životinja. Oni su moji. Ja sam BOG.«

14 BOG je rekao Mojsiju u Sinajskoj pustinji: 15 »Prebroji Levite prema njihovim obiteljima i rodovima. Prebroji svako muško od jednog mjeseca i starije.« 16 I Mojsije ih je prebrojao, kao što mu je zapovjedio BOG.

17 Ovo su imena Levijevih sinova: Geršon, Kehat i Merari.

18 Imena Geršonovih sinova i njihovih rodova su: Libni i Šimi.

19 Kehatovi sinovi i njihovi rodovi su: Amram, Ishar, Hebron i Uziel.

20 Merarijevi sinovi i njihovi rodovi su: Mahli i Muši.

Rodovi su to Levita prema njihovim precima.

21 Geršonu su pripadali rodovi Libnijaca i Šimijaca. Bili su to rodovi Geršonovaca. 22 Broj je svih prebrojanih muških od jednog mjeseca i starijih iznosio 7.500. 23 Rodovi su Geršonovaca taborovali na zapadu, iza Svetog šatora. 24 Glavar je Geršonovih rodova bio Eliasaf, Laelov sin. 25 U Šatoru sastanka Geršonovci su se brinuli o Svetom šatoru, vanjskom šatoru i prekrivaču, zavjesi na ulazu u Šator sastanka, 26 dvorišnoj zavjesi, zavjesi na ulazu u dvorište, koje je oko Svetog šatora i žrtvenika, konopcima i svime što je povezano sa zavjesama.

27 Kehatu su pripadali rodovi Amramovaca, Isharovaca, Hebronovaca i Uzielovaca. Bili su to rodovi Kehatovaca. 28 Broj je svih njihovih muških od jednog mjeseca i starijih iznosio 8.600[c]. Kehatovci su obavljali dužnosti vezane uz Svetište. 29 Rodovi Kehatovaca taborovali su s južne strane Svetog šatora. 30 Glavar je Kehatovog doma, koji se sastoji od rodova Kehatovaca, bio Elisafan, Uzielov sin. 31 Oni su se brinuli o Kovčegu, stolu, svijećnjaku, žrtveniku, predmetima koji su se koristili pri vršenju svećeničke službe, zavjesi i svime vezanim uz zavjesu.

32 Vrhovni je glavar Levita bio Eleazar, sin svećenika Arona. Bio je određen da nadgleda one koji su obavljali dužnosti vezane uz Svetište.

33 Merariju su pripadali rodovi Mahlijaca i Mušijaca. Bili su to rodovi Merarijevaca. 34 Broj je svih njihovih prebrojanih muških od jednog mjeseca i starijih iznosio 6.200. 35 Glavar je Merarijevog doma, koji se sastoji od rodova Merarijevaca, bio Suriel, Abihailov sin. Oni su taborovali na sjevernoj strani Svetog šatora. 36 Merarijevci su bili odgovorni za okvire Svetog šatora, poprečne šipke, stupove, postolja, svu opremu i sve što je vezano uz njihovu upotrebu, 37 kao i za stupove u dvorištu oko Svetog šatora, postolja stupova, kolčiće i konopce.

38 Mojsije, Aron i njegovi sinovi taborovali su istočno od Svetog šatora, to jest Šatora sastanka. Obavljali su službe u Svetištu i čuvali ga. Ako bi se bilo tko drugi približio Svetištu, bio bi pogubljen.

39 Ukupan je broj Levita prema njihovim obiteljima, svi muškarci od mjesec dana i stariji, koje su Mojsije i Aron prebrojali po BOŽJOJ zapovijedi, iznosio 22.000.

Leviti umjesto prvorođenaca

40 BOG je rekao Mojsiju: »Prebroji svako izraelsko prvorođeno muško od mjesec dana i starije te ga upiši poimence. 41 Uzmi Levite za mene umjesto svih izraelskih prvorođenaca i stoku Levita umjesto svih prvina izraelske stoke. Ja sam BOG.«

42 I Mojsije je prebrojao sve izraelske prvorođence, kao što mu je zapovjedio BOG. 43 Ukupan je broj prvorođenih muških od mjesec dana i starijih, upisanih poimence, iznosio 22.273.

44 BOG je još rekao Mojsiju: 45 »Uzmi Levite umjesto svih izraelskih prvorođenaca i stoku Levita umjesto izraelske stoke. Leviti su moji. Ja sam BOG. 46 Da bi otkupio ona 273 prvorođenca u Izraelu, koliko ih ima više od Levita, 47 skupi pet srebrnjaka[d] po glavi, prema službenoj mjeri Svetišta[e]. 48 Taj novac daj Aronu i njegovim sinovima kao otkupninu za one koji prelaze broj Levita.«

49 I Mojsije je skupio novac za otkupninu od onih koji su prelazili broj prvorođenaca što su ih otkupili Leviti. 50 Od izraelskih je prvorođenaca skupio 1.365 srebrnjaka[f], prema službenoj mjeri. 51 Mojsije je dao novac za otkupninu Aronu i njegovim sinovima, kao što mu je zapovjedio BOG.

Numbers 3
New King James Version

The Sons of Aaron(A)

3 Now these are the (B)records[a] of Aaron and Moses when the Lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai. 2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab, the (C)firstborn, and (D)Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, (E)the anointed priests, [b]whom he consecrated to minister as priests. 4 (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

5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 6 (G)“Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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.
