1These also [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day [that] the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai. 2So these are the names of the sonnes of Aaron, Nadab the first borne, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3These are the names of the sonnes of Aaron the anoynted Priests, whom Moses did consecrate to minister in the Priests office. 4And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father. 5Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 6Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him. 7And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. 8They shall also keepe all the instrumentes of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and haue the charge of the children of Israel to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle. 9And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they [are] wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel. 10And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 11Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 12Beholde, I haue euen taken the Leuites fro among the childre of Israel: for al the first borne that openeth the matrice among the children of Israel, and the Leuites shalbe mine, 13Because all the first borne are mine: for the same day, that I smote all the first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified vnto me all the first borne in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shalbe: I am the Lord. 14Moreouer, the Lord spake vnto Moses in the wildernesse of Sinai, saying, 15Nomber the children of Leui after the houses of their fathers, in their families: euery male from a moneth olde and aboue shalt thou nomber. 16Then Moses nombred them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded. 17And these are the sonnes of Leui by their names, Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. 18Also these are the names of the sonnes of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei. 19The sonnes also of Kohath by their families: Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Vzziel. 20And the sonnes of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of Leui, according to the houses of their fathers. 21Of Gershon came the familie of the Libnites, and the familie of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites. 22Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, [even] those that were numbered of them [were] seven thousand and five hundred. 23The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the Tabernacle westward. 24The captaine and auncient of the house of the Gershonites shalbe Eliasaph the sonne of Lael. 25And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation [shall be] the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 26And the hanging of the court, & the vaile of the doore of the court, which is neere the Tabernacle, and neere ye Altar round about, and the cordes of it for all the seruice thereof. 27And of Kohath came the familie of the Amramites, and the familie of the Izeharites, and the familie of the Hebronites, and the familie of the Vzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites. 28In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, [were] eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary. 29The families of the sonnes of Kohath shall pitch on the Southside of the Tabernacle. 30The captaine and auncient of the house, & families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the sonne of Vzziel: 31And their charge [shall be] the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof. 32And Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Priest shalbe chiefe captaine of the Leuites, hauing the ouersight of them that haue the charge of the Sanctuarie. 33Of Merari came the familie of the Mahlites, and the familie of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari. 34And the summe of them, according to the nomber of all the males, from a moneth olde and aboue was sixe thousand and two hundreth. 35The captaine and the ancient of the house of the families of Merari shalbe Zuriel the sonne of Abihail: they shall pitche on the Northside of the Tabernacle. 36And [under] the custody and charge of the sons of Merari [shall be] the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto, 37With the pillars of the court round about, with their sockets, and their pins & their coardes. 38But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, [even] before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, [shall be] Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 39All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, [were] twenty and two thousand. 40And the Lord said vnto Moses, Nomber all the first borne that are Males among the children of Israel, from a moneth old and aboue, and take the nomber of their names. 41And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I [am] the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel. 42And Moses nombred, as the Lord commanded him, all the first borne of the children of Israel. 43And all the first borne males rehearsed by name (from a moneth olde and aboue) according to their nomber were two & twentie thousand, two hundreth seuentie and three. 44And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 45Take the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel, and the cattell of the Leuites for their cattel, and the Leuites shalbe mine, (I am the Lord) 46And for the redeeming of the two hundreth seuentie and three, (which are moe then the Leuites) of the first borne of the children of of Israel, 47Thou shalt also take fiue shekels for euery person: after the weight of the Sanctuarie shalt thou take it: ye shekel conteineth twenty gerahs. 48And thou shalt giue the money, wherwith the odde nomber of them is redeemed, vnto Aaron and to his sonnes. 49Thus Moses tooke the redemption of the that were redeemed, being mo then the Leuites: 50Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary: 51And Moses gaue the money of them that were redeemed, vnto Aaron and to his sonnes according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
