34 ¶ So Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation numbered the sons of Kohath after their families and after the houses of their fathers,
35 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to minister in the tabernacle of the testimony.
36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
37 These were the numbered of the families of Kohath, all that minister in the tabernacle of the testimony, whom Moses and Aaron numbered 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 houses of their fathers,
39 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to minister in the tabernacle of the testimony,
40 those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the houses of their fathers, were two thousand six hundred and thirty.
41 These were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all that minister in the tabernacle of the testimony, whom Moses and Aaron numbered 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 houses of their fathers,
43 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to minister in the tabernacle of the testimony,
44 those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand two hundred.
45 These were 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 princes of Israel numbered, after their families and after the houses of their fathers,
47 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to serve in the service and to bear a burden in the tabernacle of the testimony,
48 those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand five hundred and eighty.
49 As the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, they were numbered, each one according to his ministry and according to his burden; thus were they numbered of Moses, as the LORD commanded him.
5 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Command the sons of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper and every one that has an issue and anyone who is defiled by the dead.
3 Both male and female shall ye put out; ye shall put them outside the camp; that they not defile the camp of those among whom I dwell.
4 And the sons of Israel did so and put them outside the camp; as the LORD spoke unto Moses, so did the sons of Israel.
2 ¶ Thou, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou, therefore, work hard as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And also if anyone contends in public contest, he is not crowned, except he contends legitimately.
6 The husbandman, in order to receive the fruits, must first work hard.
7 Understand what I say, that the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.
