²¹And Yehovah spake unto Moshe, saying, ²²Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers’ houses, by their families; ²³from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to wait upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting. ²⁴This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens: ²⁵they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above upon it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting, ²⁶and the hangings of the court, and the screen 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 whatsoever shall be done with them: therein shall they serve. ²⁷At the commandment of Aharon and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burden. ²⁸This 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 Aharon the priest. 

²⁹As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them by their families, by their fathers’ houses; ³⁰from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth upon the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting. ³¹And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, ³²and 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 appoint the instruments of the charge of their burden. ³³This 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 Aharon the priest. 

³⁴And Moshe and Aharon and the princes of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers’ houses, ³⁵from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting: ³⁶and those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. ³⁷These are they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that did serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moshe and Aharon numbered according to the commandment of Yehovah by Moshe. 

³⁸And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, their families, and by their fathers’ houses, ³⁹from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting, ⁴⁰even those that were numbered of them, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty. ⁴¹These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all that did serve in the tent of meeting, whom Moshe and Aharon numbered according to the commandment of Yehovah. 

⁴²And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, ⁴³from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting, ⁴⁴even those that were numbered of them by their families, were three thousand and two hundred. ⁴⁵These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moshe and Aharon numbered according to the commandment of Yehovah by Moshe. 

⁴⁶All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moshe and Aharon and the princes of Isra’el numbered, by their families, and by their fathers’ houses, ⁴⁷from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to do the work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting, ⁴⁸even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore. ⁴⁹According to the commandment of Yehovah they were numbered by Moshe, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as Yehovah commanded Moshe. 

5 And Yehovah spake unto Moshe, saying, ²Command the children of Isra’el, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is unclean by the dead: ³both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camp, in the midst whereof I dwell. ⁴And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp; as Yehovah spake unto Moshe, so did the children of Isra’el. 

⁵And Yehovah spake unto Moshe, saying, ⁶Speak unto the children of Isra’el, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yehovah, and that soul shall be guilty; ⁷then he shall confess his sin which he hath done: and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him in respect of whom he hath been guilty. ⁸But if the man have no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made unto Yehovah shall be the priest’s; besides the ram of the atonement, whereby atonement shall be made for him. ⁹And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Isra’el, which they present unto the priest, shall be his. ¹⁰And every man’s hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his. 

¹¹And Yehovah spake unto Moshe, saying, ¹²Speak unto the children of Isra’el, and say unto them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, ¹³and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, and she be not taken in the act; ¹⁴and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: ¹⁵then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and shall bring her oblation for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is a meal-offering of jealousy, a meal-offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. 

¹⁶And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yehovah: ¹⁷and 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. ¹⁸And the priest shall set the woman before Yehovah, 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: and the priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that causeth the curse. ¹⁹And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou have not gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from this water of bitterness that causeth the curse. ²⁰But if thou have gone aside, being under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee besides thy husband: ²¹then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, Yehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Yehovah doth make thy thigh to fall away, and thy body to swell; ²²and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy body to swell, and thy thigh to fall away. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen. 

²³And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out into the water of bitterness: ²⁴and he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter. ²⁵And the priest shall take the meal-offering of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal-offering before Yehovah, and bring it unto the altar: ²⁶and the priest shall take a handful of the meal-offering, as the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. ²⁷And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter, and her body shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. ²⁸And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. 

²⁹This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goeth aside, and is defiled; ³⁰or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then shall he set the woman before Yehovah, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law. ³¹And the man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity. 

6 And Yehovah spake unto Moshe, saying, ²Speak unto the children of Isra’el, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto Yehovah, ³he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. ⁴All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk. 

⁵All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separateth himself unto Yehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long. 

⁶All the days that he separateth himself unto Jehovah he shall not come near to a dead body. ⁷He 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 unto God is upon his head. ⁸All the days of his separation he is holy unto Yehovah. 

⁹And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it. ¹⁰And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting: ¹¹and the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day. ¹²And he shall separate unto Yehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb a year old for a trespass-offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled. 

¹³And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tent of meeting: ¹⁴and he shall offer his oblation unto Yehovah, one he-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, ¹⁵and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings. ¹⁶And the priest shall present them before Yehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering: ¹⁷and he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Yehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof. ¹⁸And 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. ¹⁹And 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 upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven the head of his separation; ²⁰and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before Yehovah; this is holy for the priest, together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite may drink wine. 

²¹This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth, and of his oblation unto Yehovah for his separation, besides that which he is able to get: according to his vow which he voweth, so he must do after the law of his separation. 

²²And Yehovah spake unto Moshe, saying, ²³Speak unto Aharon and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Isra’el: ye shall say unto them, 

²⁴Yehovah bless thee, and keep thee: 

²⁵Yehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 

²⁶Yehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. 

²⁷So shall they put my name upon the children of Isra’el; and I will bless them. 

7 And it came to pass on the day that Moshe had made an end of setting up the Tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, and all the furniture thereof, and the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them and sanctified them; ²that the princes of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, offered. These were the princes of the tribes, these are they that were over them that were numbered: ³and they brought their oblation before Yehovah, 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. ⁴And Yehovah spake unto Moshe, saying, ⁵Take it of them, that they may be used in doing the service of the tent of meeting; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service. ⁶And Moshe took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites. ⁷Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon, according to their service: ⁸and four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aharon the priest. ⁹But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the sanctuary belonged unto them; they bare it upon their shoulders. ¹⁰And the princes offered for the dedication of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their oblation before the altar. ¹¹And Jehovah said unto Moshe, They shall offer their oblation, each prince on his day, for the dedication of the altar.
