4 And the LORD spoke to Moses, and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families and Houses of their fathers,
3 “from thirty years old and above, even up to fifty years old, all that enter into the assembly to do the work in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
4 “This shall be the office of the sons of Kohath in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, the holiest of all:
5 “When the camp pulls up stakes, then Aaron and his sons shall come and take down the covering Veil and shall cover the Ark of the Testimony with it.
6 “And they shall put a covering of badger’s skins on it, and shall spread a cloth upon it, altogether of blue silk. And they shall insert the poles.
7 “And they shall spread a cloth of blue silk upon the Table of Show Bread, and put the dishes on it, and the cups and goblets, and coverings to cover it. And the Bread shall be on it continually.
8 “And they shall spread a covering of scarlet upon them and cover the same with a covering of badger’s skins. And they shall insert the poles.
9 “Then they shall take a cloth of blue silk and cover the Candlestick of Light with its lamps, its snuffers, its snuffdishes, and all its oil vessels with which they service it.
10 “So they shall put it, and all its instruments, in a covering of badger’s skins, and put it upon poles.
11 “Also, they shall spread a cloth of blue silk upon the golden Altar and cover it with a covering of badger’s skins and insert its poles.
12 “And they shall take all the instruments of the ministry, with which they minister in the Sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue silk and cover them with a covering of badger’s skins and insert their poles.
13 “Also, they shall take away the ashes from the Altar and spread a purple cloth upon it.
14 “And they shall put upon it all its instruments with which they minister there: the censers, the fleshhooks, the brooms, and the basins, all the instruments of the altar. And they shall spread upon it a covering of badger’s skins and insert its poles.
15 “And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the Sanctuary, and all the instruments of the Sanctuary, when the camp is ready to move, then the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them. But they shall not touch any Holy thing, lest they die. This is the charge of the sons of Kohath in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
16 “And to the office of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the Priest: 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 is inside (both in the Sanctuary and in all its instruments).”
17 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
18 “You shall not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites.
19 “But do this to them so that they may live and not die when they come near to the Most Holy things. Let Aaron and his sons come and appoint them, everyone to his office and to his charge.
20 “But do not let them go in to see when the Sanctuary is covered up, lest they die.”
21 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
22 “Also, take the sum of the sons of Gershon, every one by the Houses of their fathers, throughout their families.
23 “From thirty years old and above to fifty years old you shall number them, all that enter into the assembly to do service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
24 “This shall be the service of the families of the Gershonites: to serve and to carry.
25 “They shall carry the curtains of the Tabernacle, the Tabernacle of the Congregation, its covering and the covering of badger’s skins that is on high upon it, the veil of the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
26 “also the curtains of the court, the veil of the door of the gate of the court which is near the Tabernacle and near the Altar, all round, with their cords, and all the instruments for their service, and all that is made for them. So shall they serve.
27 “All the service of the sons of the Gershonites shall be done at the commandment of Aaron and his sons, in all their charges and in all their service. And you shall appoint them to keep all their charges.
28 “This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And their watch shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the Priest.
29 “You shall number the sons of Merari by their families, by the Houses of their fathers.
30 “From thirty years old and above, up to fifty years old, you shall number them, all that enter into the assembly to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
31 “And this is their office and charge, according to all their service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation: the boards of the Tabernacle, with its poles, its pillars and its sockets,
32 “and the pillars all around the court, with their sockets and their pins, and their cords with all their instruments, for all their service. And by name you shall assign the instruments of their office and charge.
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 Then Moses and Aaron and the princes of the Congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites, by their families and by the Houses of their fathers,
35 from thirty years old and above up to fifty years old, all that enter into the assembly for the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
36 So the numbers of them throughout their families was two thousand seven hundred fifty.
37 These are the numbers of the families of the Kohathites, all that serve in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which Moses and Aaron numbered according to the Commandment of the LORD, by the hand of Moses.
38 Also, the numbers of the sons of Gershon throughout their families and Houses of their fathers—
39 from thirty years old and upward, even up to fifty years old, all that enter into the assembly for the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation—
40 the number of them, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers, was two thousand six hundred thirty.
41 These are the numbers of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all who did service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the Commandment of the LORD.
42 These are the numbers of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by the Houses of their fathers,
43 from thirty years old and upward, up to fifty years old, all who entered into the assembly for the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
44 So, the number of them, by their families, was three thousand two hundred.
45 These are the sums of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the Commandment of the LORD, by the hand of Moses,
46 all the numbers of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered by their families and by the Houses of their fathers,
47 from thirty years old and upward, even to fifty years old, every one that came to do his duty, office, service and charge in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
48 So, the number of them was eight thousand five hundred eighty.
49 According to the Commandment of the LORD, by the hand of Moses they were numbered, everyone according to his service and according to his charge. Thus, they of that tribe were numbered, as the LORD Commanded Moses.
38 O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, nor chastise me in Your wrath.
2 For Your arrows have pierced me deeply; and Your hand lies upon me.
3 Because of Your anger, there is nothing sound in my flesh; nor is there rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities have gone over my head; as a weighty burden, they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds are putrefied, and corrupt, because of my foolishness.
6 I am bowed, and very troubled. I go mourning all day long.
7 For my core is full of burning; and there is nothing sound in my flesh.
8 I am weakened and very broken: I roar for the very grief of my heart.
9 LORD, I pour my whole desire before You; and my sighing is not hidden from You.
10 My heart pants. My strength fails me, and the light of my eyes. Even they are not my own.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aside from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 Also, those who seek after my life lay snares; and those who go about to do me evil talk wicked things and imagine deceit continually.
13 But I, as a deaf man, did not hear. I am as a dumb man who does not open his mouth.
14 Thus I am as a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes.
15 For on You, O LORD, I wait. You will hear, my LORD. My God.
16 For I said, “Hear me, lest they rejoice over me. When my foot slips, they extol themselves against me.”
17 Surely, I am ready to halt; and my sorrow is ever before me.
18 When I declare my pain, and am sorry for my sin,
19 then my enemies are alive and are mighty; and those who hate me wrongfully are many.
20 Also, those who reward evil for good are my adversaries, because I follow goodness.
21 Do not forsake me, O LORD. Do not be far from me, my God.
22 Hasten to help me, O my LORD. My Salvation. To the excellent musician, Jeduthun: A Psalm of David.
2 “I am the rose of the field, the lily of the valleys.”
2 “Like a lily among the thorns, so is my love among the daughters.”
3 “Like the apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my well-beloved among the sons of men. Under his shadow I had delight and sat down. And his fruit was sweet to my mouth.”
4 “He brought me into the wine cellar. And love was his banner over me.
5 “Sustain me with raisins, and comfort me with apples. For I am lovesick.
6 “His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.
7 “I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles and by the does of the field, that you neither stir up nor awaken my love until she pleases.”
8 “It is the voice of my well-beloved. Behold, he comes leaping by the mountains, and skipping by the hills.
9 “My well-beloved is like a gazelle, or a young stag. Lo, he stands behind our wall, looking forth from the windows, showing himself through the grates.
10 “My well-beloved spoke and said to me, ‘Arise, my love, my fair one, and come your way.
11 ‘For behold, winter has passed. The rain has ended and has gone away.
12 ‘The flowers appear on the Earth. The time of the singing of birds has come. And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.
13 ‘The fig tree has brought forth her young figs. And the vines, with small grapes, have cast a savor. Arise my love, my fair one, and come away.’
14 “My dove, who is in the holes of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me catch sight of you. Let me hear your voice. For your voice is sweet and your face comely.”
15 “Take us, the foxes, the little foxes who destroy the vines. For our vines have small grapes.”
16 “My well-beloved is mine, and I am his. He feeds among the lilies,
17 “until the day breaks and the shadows flee away. Return, my well-beloved! Be like a gazelle, or a young stag upon the mountains of Bether!”
2 Therefore we ought to diligently pay attention to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we drift away.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense,
3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation (which at first began to be preached by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him;
4 God bearing witness to it both with signs and wonders, and with diverse miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will)?
5 For He has not put the world to come (whereof we speak) in subjection to the angels.
6 But one in a certain place witnessed, saying, “What is man that You should be mindful of him; or the son of man that You would consider him?
7 “You made him a little inferior to the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor and have set him above the works of Your Hands.
8 “You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” And in that He has put all things in subjection under him, He left nothing that should not be subject to him. But we still do not see all things subjected to him.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made little inferior to the angels, crowned with glory and honor through the suffering of death. That by God’s grace He might taste death for everyone.
10 For it became Him for Whom all these things are - and by Whom all these things are (seeing that He brought many children to Glory) - that He should consecrate the Author of their salvation through afflictions.
11 For He Who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all of One. Therefore, He is not ashamed to call them brothers,
12 saying, “I will declare Your Name to My brothers. In the midst of the Church I will sing praises to You.”
13 And again, “I will put My trust in Him.” And again, “Behold, here I am, and the children whom God has given Me.”
14 So then, as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he himself also took part with them, so that He might destroy (through death) him who had the power of death (namely, the Devil).
15 And that He might deliver all those who, for fear of death, were subject to bondage all their lifetime.
16 For He in no way took on the nature of angels, but He took on the seed of Abraham.
17 Therefore it was fitting for him to be made like his brothers in all things, so that He might be merciful, and a faithful High Priest in things concerning God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he suffered, and was tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.
