Numbers 4
King James Version
4 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
5 And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:
12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar:
13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
17 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying,
18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
21 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.
27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,
32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
34 And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
35 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:
36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
37 These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,
39 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
40 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.
41 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the Lord.
42 And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,
43 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
44 Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred.
45 These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
47 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation.
48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore,
49 According to the commandment of the Lord they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Служба на левитите при вдигане на стана
4 И Господ каза на Мойсей и Аарон: 2 „Преброй Каатовите потомци сред левитите според родовете им, според бащините им домове, 3 от тридесет години нагоре до петдесет години, всички, които са способни да изпълняват задълженията при служенето в скинията на събранието. 4 Ето службата на Каатовите потомци в скинията на събранието – да носят Светая Светих.
5 Когато станът трябва да се вдигне за път, Аарон и синовете му да влязат, да снемат закриващата завеса и да покрият с нея ковчега на откровението; 6 върху него да сложат покривало от делфинови кожи, а над него да разпрострат син плат и да проврат прътовете му. 7 Върху трапезата за хлябовете на предложението да разпрострат син плат и да наредят отгоре блюдата, паниците, чашите и съдовете за възлияние; постоянните хлябове също да бъдат на нея; 8 и да разпрострат върху тях червен плат, да сложат върху него покривало от делфинови кожи и да проврат прътовете му. 9 После да вземат син плат и да покрият светилника и кадилницата му, щипците му, подставките му и всички съдове за елей, с които си служат при него; 10 да разпрострат върху него и всичките му принадлежности покривало от делфинови кожи и да го поставят на носилка. 11 А върху златния жертвеник да разпрострат син плат, да го покрият с покривало от делфинови кожи и да проврат прътите му. 12 Да вземат всички прибори за служене, с които си служат в светилището, да ги обвият в син плат, да ги покрият с покривало от делфинови кожи и да ги поставят на носилка. 13 Като очистят жертвеника от пепелта, да го покрият с пурпурен плат 14 и да поставят върху него всички прибори, с които извършват служенето при него: въгленици, вилици, лопатки, чаши – всички прибори на жертвеника; върху тях да разпрострат покривало от делфинови кожи и да проврат прътите му. 15 Когато станът трябва да се вдигне за път и Аарон и синовете му покрият цялото светилище и всички свещени прибори, тогава Каатовите потомци да пристъпят, за да ги носят; но те не трябва да се докосват до светилището, за да не умрат. Това са вещите от скинията на събранието, които трябва да носят Каатовите потомци.
16 (A)На Елеазар, сина на Аарон, се поверяват елеят на светилника, благоуханният тамян, постоянният хлебен принос и елеят за помазване; поверява му се надзорът над цялата скиния и на всичко в нея – над светилището и принадлежностите му.“
17 И каза Господ на Мойсей и Аарон: 18 „Не погубвайте измежду левитите племето на Каатовите родове; 19 за да останат живи и да не умрат, когато пристъпват към Светая Светих, ето какво трябва да сторите: ‘Аарон и синовете му да влизат, за да показват на всеки от тях как да служи и какво да носи; 20 но те самите няма да влизат и нито за миг няма да видят светинята, за да не умрат’.“
21 Тогава Господ каза на Мойсей: 22 „Преброй и Гирсоновите синове според бащините им домове и според родовете им, 23 от тридесет години нагоре до петдесет години, способни да служат, за да извършват служенето при скинията на събранието. 24 Ето задълженията на Гирсоновите потомци при служенето и при носенето на товари: 25 да носят платнищата на скинията и скинията на събранието, покрива ѝ, покривалото от делфинови кожи, което е върху него, завесата от входа на скинията на събранието, 26 дворните завеси, завесата от входа на двора, който е около скинията и жертвеника, въжетата им и всичките им принадлежности; всичко, което трябва да се върши за тези неща, е тяхно задължение. 27 Цялото служене на Гирсоновите потомци при носене на товари или при други задължения винаги да се извършва по заповед на Аарон и на синовете му; на тях поверявайте всичко, което те са длъжни да носят. 28 Това са службите на Гирсоновите потомци в скинията на събранието; тяхното служене да бъде под надзора на Итамар, син на свещеника Аарон.
29 Преброй Мерариевите синове според родовете им, според бащините им домове, 30 от тридесет години и нагоре до петдесет години, преброй всички, способни да служат, за да извършват служенето при скинията на събранието. 31 Ето какво са длъжни да носят те, когато служат при скинията на събранието: дъските на скинията, напречните ѝ греди, стълбовете ѝ, подложките ѝ, 32 а също стълбовете около двора, подложките им, колчетата им, въжетата им и всички вещи, необходими за това служене; определете им всяко нещо, което те са длъжни да носят. 33 Това са службите на Мерариевите потомци, всичките им задължения при скинията на събранието, под надзора на Итамар, сина на Аарон.“
34 Тогава Мойсей и Аарон и предводителите на обществото преброиха Каатовите синове според родовете им и според семействата им, 35 от тридесет години и нагоре до петдесет години, всички, способни да служат, за да извършват служенето при скинията на събранието. 36 Преброените от тях според родовете им бяха две хиляди седемстотин и петдесет души. 37 Това са преброените Каатови потомци, всички служещи при скинията на събранието, които Мойсей и Аарон преброиха, както Господ заповяда чрез Мойсей. 38 Преброени бяха и Гирсоновите синове според родовете им и според семействата им, 39 от тридесет години и нагоре до петдесет години, всички, способни да служат, за да извършват служенето при скинията на събранието. 40 Преброените от тях според родовете им, според семействата им бяха две хиляди шестстотин и тридесет души. 41 Това са преброените от родовете на Гирсоновите синове, всички служещи при скинията на събранието, които Мойсей и Аарон преброиха по заповед на Господа.
42 Преброени бяха и родовете на Мерариевите синове според родовете им, според семействата им, 43 от тридесет години и нагоре до петдесет години, всички, способни да служат, за да извършват служенето при скинията на събранието. 44 Преброените от тях според родовете им бяха три хиляди и двеста души. 45 Това са преброените от родовете на Мерариевите синове, които Мойсей и Аарон преброиха, както Господ заповяда чрез Мойсей.
46 Така всички, преброени от левитите, които Мойсей и Аарон и предводителите на Израил преброиха според родовете им и според семействата им, 47 от тридесет години и нагоре до петдесет години, всички, способни да служат и да носят товари в скинията на събранието, 48 бяха общо на брой осем хиляди петстотин и осемдесет. 49 По заповед на Господа чрез Мойсей всеки от тях бе определен за своето служене и товар и бяха преброени, както Господ заповяда на Мойсей.
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.
