001:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the Tent
of Meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second
year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
001:002 "Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel,
by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to
the number of the names, every male, one by one;
001:003 from twenty years old and upward, all who are able to go
out to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall number them
by their divisions.
001:004 With you there shall be a man of every tribe; everyone head
of his fathers' house.
001:005 These are the names of the men who shall stand with you:
Of Reuben: Elizur the son of Shedeur.
001:006 Of Simeon: Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

001:012 Of Dan: Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
001:013 Of Asher: Pagiel the son of Ochran.
001:014 Of Gad: Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
001:015 Of Naphtali: Ahira the son of Enan."
001:016 These are those who were called of the congregation,
the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the heads
of the thousands of Israel.
001:017 Moses and Aaron took these men who are mentioned by name.
001:018 They assembled all the congregation together on the first
day of the second month; and they declared their ancestry
by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to
the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward,
one by one.
001:019 As Yahweh commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the
wilderness of Sinai.
001:020 The children of Reuben, Israel's firstborn, their generations,
by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to
the number of the names, one by one, every male from twenty
years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;
001:021 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Reuben,
were forty-six thousand five hundred.
001:022 Of the children of Simeon, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, those who were numbered of it,

out to war;
001:023 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Simeon,
were fifty-nine thousand three hundred.
001:024 Of the children of Gad, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
out to war;
001:025 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Gad,
were forty-five thousand six hundred fifty.
001:026 Of the children of Judah, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
out to war;
001:027 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Judah,
were sixty-four thousand six hundred.
001:028 Of the children of Issachar, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
out to war;
001:029 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Issachar,
were fifty-four thousand four hundred.
001:030 Of the children of Zebulun, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
out to war;
001:031 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Zebulun,
were fifty-seven thousand four hundred.
001:032 Of the children of Joseph, of the children of Ephraim,
their generations, by their families, by their fathers'
houses, according to the number of the names, from twenty
years old and upward, all who were able to go out to war;
001:033 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Ephraim,
were forty thousand five hundred.
001:034 Of the children of Manasseh, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
out to war;
001:035 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Manasseh,
were thirty-two thousand two hundred.
001:036 Of the children of Benjamin, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
out to war;
001:037 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Benjamin,
were thirty-five thousand four hundred.
001:038 Of the children of Dan, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
forth to war;
001:039 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Dan,
were sixty-two thousand seven hundred.
001:040 Of the children of Asher, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
forth to war;
001:041 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Asher,
were forty-one thousand five hundred.
001:042 Of the children of Naphtali, their generations, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, according to the number of the names,
from twenty years old and upward, all who were able to go
forth to war;
001:043 those who were numbered of them, of the tribe of Naphtali,
were fifty-three thousand four hundred.
001:044 These are those who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men:
they were each one for his fathers' house.
001:045 So all those who were numbered of the children of Israel
by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and upward,
all who were able to go out to war in Israel;
001:046 even all those who were numbered were six hundred three thousand
five hundred fifty.
001:047 But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not
numbered among them.
001:048 For Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
001:049 "Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, neither shall
you take a census of them among the children of Israel;
001:050 but appoint the Levites over the Tabernacle of the Testimony,
and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it.
They shall carry the tabernacle, and all its furnishings;
and they shall take care of it, and shall encamp around it.
001:051 When the tabernacle is to move, the Levites shall take it down;
and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set
it up. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
001:052 The children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man
by his own camp, and every man by his own standard,
according to their divisions.
001:053 But the Levites shall encamp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony,
that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the children
of Israel: and the Levites shall be responsible for the Tabernacle
of the Testimony."
001:054 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh
commanded Moses, so they did.
002:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
002:002 "The children of Israel shall encamp every man by his own standard,
with the banners of their fathers' houses: at a distance
from the tent of meeting shall they encamp around it."
002:003 Those who encamp on the east side toward the sunrise shall be of
the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their divisions:
and the prince of the children of Judah shall be Nahshon
the son of Amminadab.
002:004 His division, and those who were numbered of them,
were seventy-four thousand six hundred.
002:005 Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Issachar:
and the prince of the children of Issachar shall be Nethanel
the son of Zuar.
002:006 His division, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-four
thousand four hundred.
002:007 The tribe of Zebulun: and the prince of the children of Zebulun
shall be Eliab the son of Helon.
002:008 His division, and those who were numbered of it, were fifty-seven
thousand four hundred.
002:009 All who were numbered of the camp of Judah were one hundred
eighty-six thousand four hundred, according to their divisions.
They shall set out first.
002:010 "On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben
according to their divisions. The prince of the children
of Reuben shall be Elizur the son of Shedeur.
002:011 His division, and those who were numbered of it, were forty-six
thousand five hundred.
002:012 "Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Simeon.
The prince of the children of Simeon shall be Shelumiel
the son of Zurishaddai.
002:013 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were fifty-nine
thousand three hundred.
002:014 "The tribe of Gad: and the prince of the children of Gad
shall be Eliasaph the son of Reuel.
002:015 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty-five
thousand six hundred fifty.
002:016 "All who were numbered of the camp of Reuben were one hundred
fifty-one thousand four hundred fifty, according to their armies.
They shall set out second.
002:017 "Then the tent of meeting shall set out, with the camp
of the Levites in the midst of the camps. As they encamp,
so shall they set out, every man in his place, by their standards.
002:018 "On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim
according to their divisions: and the prince of the children
of Ephraim shall be Elishama the son of Ammihud.
002:019 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty
thousand five hundred.
002:020 "Next to him shall be the tribe of Manasseh: and the prince
of the children of Manasseh shall be Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
002:021 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-two
thousand two hundred.
002:022 "The tribe of Benjamin: and the prince of the children
of Benjamin shall be Abidan the son of Gideoni.
002:023 His army, and those who were numbered of them, were thirty-five
thousand four hundred.
002:024 "All who were numbered of the camp of Ephraim were one hundred
eight thousand one hundred, according to their divisions.
They shall set out third.
002:025 "On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan
according to their divisions: and the prince of the children
of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
002:026 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were sixty-two
thousand seven hundred.
002:027 "Those who encamp next to him shall be the tribe of Asher:
and the prince of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel
the son of Ochran.
002:028 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were forty-one
thousand and five hundred.
002:029 "The tribe of Naphtali: and the prince of the children
of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.
002:030 His division, and those who were numbered of them, were fifty-three
thousand four hundred.
002:031 "All who were numbered of the camp of Dan were one hundred
fifty-seven thousand six hundred. They shall set out last
by their standards."
002:032 These are those who were numbered of the children of Israel
by their fathers' houses. All who were numbered of the camps
according to their armies were six hundred three thousand
five hundred fifty.
002:033 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel;
as Yahweh commanded Moses.
002:034 Thus the children of Israel did. According to all that Yahweh
commanded Moses, so they encamped by their standards,
and so they set out, everyone by their families, according to
their fathers' houses.
003:001 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses
in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
003:002 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn,
and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
003:003 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests
who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in
the priest's office.
003:004 Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh, when they offered strange
fire before Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had
no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's
office in the presence of Aaron their father.
003:005 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
003:006 "Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron
the priest, that they may minister to him.
003:007 They shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole
congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service
of the tabernacle.
003:008 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting,
and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service
of the tabernacle.
003:009 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are
wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
003:010 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep
their priesthood. The stranger who comes near shall be
put to death."
003:011 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
003:012 "Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children
of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among
the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine:
003:013 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck
down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy
to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal.
They shall be mine. I am Yahweh."
003:014 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
003:015 "Number the children of Levi by their fathers' houses,
by their families: every male from a month old and upward
shall you number."
003:016 Moses numbered them according to the word of Yahweh,
as he was commanded.
003:017 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath,
and Merari.
003:018 These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families:
Libni and Shimei.
003:019 The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron,
and Uzziel.
003:020 The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi.
These are the families of the Levites according to
their fathers' houses.
003:021 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family
of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
003:022 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number of all
the males, from a month old and upward, even those who were
numbered of them were seven thousand five hundred.
003:023 The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind
the tabernacle westward.
003:024 The prince of the fathers' house of the Gershonites shall
be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
003:025 The charge of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting shall
be the tabernacle, and the tent, its covering, and the screen
for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
003:026 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door
of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and around the altar,
and its cords for all of its service.
003:027 Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family
of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites,
and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families
of the Kohathites.
003:028 According to the number of all the males, from a month
old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred,
keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
003:029 The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south
side of the tabernacle.
003:030 The prince of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites
shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
003:031 Their charge shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand,
the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister,
and the screen, and all its service.
003:032 Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes
of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the charge
of the sanctuary.
003:033 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family
of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari.
003:034 Those who were numbered of them, according to the number
of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six
thousand two hundred.
003:035 The prince of the fathers' house of the families of Merari
was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the north
side of the tabernacle.
003:036 The appointed charge of the sons of Merari shall be the
tabernacle's boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,
all its instruments, all its service,
003:037 the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins,
and their cords.
003:038 Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward,
in front of the Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise,
shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge
of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel.
The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
003:039 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered
at the commandment of Yahweh, by their families, all the males
from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
003:040 Yahweh said to Moses, "Number all the firstborn males
of the children of Israel from a month old and upward,
and take the number of their names.
003:041 You shall take the Levites for me (I am Yahweh)
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."
003:042 Moses numbered, as Yahweh commanded him, all the firstborn
among the children of Israel.
003:043 All the firstborn males according to the number of names,
from a month old and upward, of those who were numbered of them,
were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
003:044 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
003:045 "Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among
the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites
instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine.
I am Yahweh.
003:046 For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the
firstborn of the children of Israel, who exceed the number
of the Levites,
003:047 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one;
after the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them
(the shekel is twenty gerahs):
003:048 and you shall give the money, with which the remainder of them
is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons."
003:049 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded
the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
003:050 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money,
one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, after the shekel
of the sanctuary:
003:051 and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons,
according to the word of Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
004:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
004:002 "Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi,
by their families, by their fathers' houses,
004:003 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old,
all who enter into the service, to do the work in the
Tent of Meeting.
004:004 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting,
the most holy things.
004:005 When the camp moves forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons,
and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover
the ark of the Testimony with it,
004:006 and shall put a covering of sealskin on it, and shall spread
over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in its poles.
004:007 On the table of show bread they shall spread a blue cloth,
and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the cups
with which to pour out; and the continual bread shall be on it.
004:008 They shall spread on them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same
with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
004:009 They shall take a blue cloth, and cover the lampstand of the light,
and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes,
and all its oil vessels, with which they minister to it.
004:010 They shall put it and all its vessels within a covering of sealskin,
and shall put it on the frame.
004:011 On the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and cover
it with a covering of sealskin, and shall put in its poles.
004:012 They shall take all the vessels of ministry, with which they
minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a blue cloth,
and cover them with a covering of sealskin, and shall put
them on the frame.
004:013 They shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread
a purple cloth on it.
004:014 They shall put on it all its vessels, with which they minister
about it, the fire pans, the flesh hooks, the shovels,
and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; and they shall
spread on it a covering of sealskin, and put in its poles.
004:015 "When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary,
and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp moves forward;
after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to carry it:
but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die.
These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the
Tent of Meeting.
004:016 "The charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil
for the light, the sweet incense, the continual meal offering,
and the anointing oil, the charge of all the tabernacle,
and of all that is in it, the sanctuary, and its furnishings."
004:017 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
004:018 "Don't cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites
from among the Levites;
004:019 but thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they
approach to the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in,
and appoint them everyone to his service and to his burden;
004:020 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment,
lest they die."
004:021 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
004:022 "Take a census of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers'
houses, by their families;
004:023 from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shall
you number them; all who enter in to wait on the service,
to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
004:024 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites,
in serving and in bearing burdens:
004:025 they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the Tent
of Meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is
above on it, and the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
004:026 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door
of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and
around the altar, and their cords, and all the instruments
of their service, and whatever shall be done with them.
Therein shall they serve.
004:027 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the
service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden,
and in all their service; and you shall appoint to them
in charge all their burden.
004:028 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites
in the Tent of Meeting: and their charge shall be under
the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
004:029 "As for the sons of Merari, you shall number them by their families,
by their fathers' houses;
004:030 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old
shall you number them, everyone who enters on the service,
to do the work of the Tent of Meeting.
004:031 This is the charge of their burden, according to all their
service in the Tent of Meeting: the tabernacle's boards,
its bars, its pillars, its sockets,
004:032 and the pillars of the court around it, and their sockets,
and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments,
and with all their service: and by name you shall appoint
the instruments of the charge of their burden.
004:033 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari,
according to all their service, in the Tent of Meeting,
under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."
004:034 Moses and Aaron and the princes of the congregation
numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families,
and by their fathers' houses,
004:035 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old,
everyone who entered into the service, for work in the
Tent of Meeting.
004:036 Those who were numbered of them by their families were two
thousand seven hundred fifty.
004:037 These are those who were numbered of the families of the Kohathites,
all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
004:038 Those who were numbered of the sons of Gershon, their families,
and by their fathers' houses,
004:039 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old,
everyone who entered into the service, for work in the
Tent of Meeting,
004:040 even those who were numbered of them, by their families,
by their fathers' houses, were two thousand six hundred thirty.
004:041 These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons
of Gershon, all who served in the Tent of Meeting, whom Moses
and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Yahweh.
004:042 Those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari,
by their families, by their fathers' houses,
004:043 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old,
everyone who entered into the service, for work in the
Tent of Meeting,
004:044 even those who were numbered of them by their families,
were three thousand two hundred.
004:045 These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons
of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the
commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
004:046 All those who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and
Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, by their families,
and by their fathers' houses,
004:047 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old,
everyone who entered in to do the work of service, and the work
of bearing burdens in the Tent of Meeting,
004:048 even those who were numbered of them, were eight thousand
five hundred eighty.
004:049 According to the commandment of Yahweh they were numbered by Moses,
everyone according to his service, and according to his burden.
Thus were they numbered by him, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
005:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
005:002 "Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp
every leper, and everyone who has an issue, and whoever
is unclean by the dead.
005:003 Both male and female shall you put out, outside of the camp
shall you put them; that they not defile their camp,
in the midst of which I dwell."
005:004 The children of Israel did so, and put them out outside of the camp;
as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
005:005 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
005:006 "Speak to the children of Israel: When a man or woman commits
any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh,
and that soul is guilty;
005:007 then he shall confess his sin which he has done, and he shall
make restitution for his guilt in full, and add to it
the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom
he has been guilty.
005:008 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made
for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh
shall be the priest's; besides the ram of the atonement,
by which atonement shall be made for him.
005:009 Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children
of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
005:010 Every man's holy things shall be his: whatever any man gives
the priest, it shall be his."
005:011 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
005:012 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them:
If any man's wife goes astray, and is unfaithful to him,
005:013 and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes
of her husband, and is kept close, and she is defiled,
and there is no witness against her, and she isn't taken
in the act;
005:014 and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous
of his wife, and she is defiled: or if the spirit
of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife,
and she isn't defiled:
005:015 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring
her offering for her: the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal.
He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it
is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial,
bringing iniquity to memory.
005:016 The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh;
005:017 and the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel;
and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle
the priest shall take, and put it into the water.
005:018 The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair
of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal offering of
memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy.
The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness
that brings a curse.
005:019 The priest shall cause her to swear, and shall tell the woman,
'If no man has lain with you, and if you haven't gone aside
to uncleanness, being under your husband, be free from this
water of bitterness that brings a curse.
005:020 But if you have gone astray, being under your husband,
and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you
besides your husband:'
005:021 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath
of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, 'Yahweh make
you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows
your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell;
005:022 and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels,
and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.'
The woman shall say, 'Amen, Amen.'
005:023 "The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall
blot them out into the water of bitterness.
005:024 He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes
the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter
into her and become bitter.
005:025 The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the
woman's hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh,
and bring it to the altar.
005:026 The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering,
as the memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, and afterward
shall make the woman drink the water.
005:027 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen,
if she is defiled, and has committed a trespass against
her husband, that the water that causes the curse will
enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell,
and her thigh will fall away: and the woman will be a curse
among her people.
005:028 If the woman isn't defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free,
and shall conceive seed.
005:029 "This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband,
goes astray, and is defiled;
005:030 or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous
of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh,
and the priest shall execute on her all this law.
005:031 The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall
bear her iniquity."
006:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
006:002 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: When either
man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite,
to separate himself to Yahweh,
006:003 he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink.
He shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of fermented drink,
neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh
grapes or dried.
006:004 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is
made of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.
006:005 "All the days of his vow of separation there shall no
razor come on his head, until the days are fulfilled,
in which he separates himself to Yahweh. He shall be holy.
He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.
006:006 "All the days that he separates himself to Yahweh he shall
not go near a dead body.
006:007 He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for
his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die;
because his separation to God is on his head.
006:008 All the days of his separation he is holy to Yahweh.
006:009 "If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the head
of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day
of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.
006:010 On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young
pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.
006:011 The priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other
for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he
sinned by reason of the dead, and shall make his head holy
that same day.
006:012 He shall separate to Yahweh the days of his separation,
and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering;
but the former days shall be void, because his separation
was defiled.
006:013 "This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his
separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door
of the Tent of Meeting,
006:014 and he shall offer his offering to Yahweh, one male lamb
a year old without blemish for a burnt offering, and one
ewe lamb a year old without blemish for a sin offering,
and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
006:015 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour
mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil,
and their meal offering, and their drink offerings.
006:016 The priest shall present them before Yahweh, and shall offer
his sin offering, and his burnt offering.
006:017 He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings
to Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest
shall offer also its meal offering, and its drink offering.
006:018 The Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door
of the Tent of Meeting, and shall take the hair of the head
of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under
the sacrifice of peace offerings.
006:019 The priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one
unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer,
and shall put them on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has
shaved the head of his separation;
006:020 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Yahweh.
This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is
waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite
may drink wine.
006:021 "This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his offering
to Yahweh for his separation, besides that which he is able to get.
According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law
of his separation."
006:022 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
006:023 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you
shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them,
006:024 'Yahweh bless you, and keep you.
006:025 Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.
006:026 Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.'
006:027 "So they shall put my name on the children of Israel;
and I will bless them."
007:001 It happened on the day that Moses had finished setting up
the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it,
with all its furniture, and the altar with all its vessels,
and had anointed and sanctified them;
007:002 that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers'
houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes.
These are they who were over those who were numbered:
007:003 and they brought their offering before Yahweh, six covered wagons,
and twelve oxen; a wagon for every two of the princes, and for
each one an ox: and they presented them before the tabernacle.
007:004 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
007:005 "Accept these from them, that they may be used in doing the service
of the Tent of Meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites,
to every man according to his service."
007:006 Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them to the Levites.
007:007 He gave two wagons and four oxen to the sons of Gershon,
according to their service:
007:008 and he gave four wagons and eight oxen to the sons of Merari,
according to their service, under the direction of Ithamar
the son of Aaron the priest.
007:009 But to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service
of the sanctuary belonged to them; they carried it
on their shoulders.
007:010 The princes gave offerings for the dedication of the altar
in the day that it was anointed, even the princes gave their
offerings before the altar.
007:011 Yahweh said to Moses, "They shall offer their offering,
each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar."
007:012 He who offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son
of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah,
007:013 and his offering was: one silver platter, the weight of which was

007:089 When Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Yahweh,
he heard his voice speaking to him from above the mercy seat that
was on the ark of the Testimony, from between the two cherubim:
and he spoke to him.
008:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
008:002 "Speak to Aaron, and tell him, 'When you light the lamps,
the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.'"
008:003 Aaron did so. He lit its lamps to light the area in front
of the lampstand, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
008:004 This was the workmanship of the lampstand, beaten work of gold.
From its base to its flowers, it was beaten work:
according to the pattern which Yahweh had shown Moses,
so he made the lampstand.
008:005 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
008:006 "Take the Levites from among the children of Israel,
and cleanse them.
008:007 Thus shall you do to them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water
of cleansing on them, let them shave their whole bodies with a razor,
and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.
008:008 Then let them take a young bull, and its meal offering,
fine flour mixed with oil; and another young bull you shall
take for a sin offering.
008:009 You shall present the Levites before the Tent of Meeting.
You shall assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel.
008:010 You shall present the Levites before Yahweh. The children
of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites,
008:011 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Yahweh for a wave offering,
on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs
to do the service of Yahweh.
008:012 The Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,
and you shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for
a burnt offering to Yahweh, to make atonement for the Levites.
008:013 You shall set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons,
and offer them as a wave offering to Yahweh.
008:014 Thus you shall separate the Levites from among the children
of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
008:015 "After that, the Levites shall go in to do the service of
the Tent of Meeting: and you shall cleanse them, and offer
them as a wave offering.
008:016 For they are wholly given to me from among the children of Israel;
instead of all who open the womb, even the firstborn of all
the children of Israel, I have taken them to me.
008:017 For all the firstborn among the children of Israel are mine,
both man and animal. On the day that I struck all the firstborn
in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for myself.
008:018 I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn among
the children of Israel.
008:019 I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons
from among the children of Israel, to do the service of
the children of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make
atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague
among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel
come near to the sanctuary."
008:020 Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children
of Israel, to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh
commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children
of Israel did to them.
008:021 The Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed
their clothes; and Aaron offered them for a wave offering
