Numbers 4
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, [2] Take the sum
of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by
the house of their fathers, [3] From thirty years old and upward even until
fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the
tabernacle of the congregation. [4] This shall be the service of the sons
of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy
things: [5] And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his
sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of
testimony with it:
[6] And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread
over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof. [7]
And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put
thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover
withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon: [8] And they shall spread
upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of
badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof. [9] And they shall
take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his
lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof,
wherewith they minister unto it: [10] And they shall put it and all the
vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon
a bar. [11] And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue,
and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves
thereof: [12] And they shall take all the instruments of ministry,
wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue,
and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a
bar: [13] And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a
purple cloth thereon:
[14] And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they
minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and
the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a
covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it. [15] And when
Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the
vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the
sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy
thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in
the tabernacle of the congregation. [16] And to the office of Eleazar the
son of Aaron the priest pertaineth 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 therein is, in the
sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof. [17] And the LORD spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, saying, [18] Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of
the Kohathites from among the Levites:
[19] But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they
approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and
appoint them every one to his service and to his burden: [20] But they
shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
[21] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [22] Take also the sum of the
sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
[23] From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou
number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in
the tabernacle of the congregation.
[24] This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and
for burdens:
[25] And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle
of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins
that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of
the congregation,
[26] And the hangings of the court, and the hanging 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 all that is
made for them: so shall they serve.
[27] At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of
the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their
service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens. [28]
This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the
tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of
Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. [29] As for the sons of Merari, thou
shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
[30] From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou
number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of
the tabernacle of the congregation.
[31] And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service
in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and
the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof, [32] And
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 reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
[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] And Moses and Aaron and the
chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their
families, and after the house of their fathers,
[35] From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one
that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation:
[36] And those that were numbered of them by their families were two
thousand seven hundred and fifty.
[37] These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites,
all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which
Moses and Aaron did number 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 house of their fathers, [39] From thirty years old and
upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service,
for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
[40] Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by
the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.
[41] These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of
Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the
congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number 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 house of their fathers, [43]
From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that
entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the
congregation,
[44] Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three
thousand and two hundred.
[45] These be 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 chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of
their fathers,
[47] From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one
that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden
in the tabernacle of the congregation, [48] Even those that were numbered
of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.
[49] According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the
hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his
burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Numbers 5
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Command the children of
Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath
an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
[3] Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put
them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell. [4]
And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as
the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel. [5] And the LORD
spake unto Moses, saying, [6] Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man
or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the
LORD, and that person be guilty;
[7] Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall
recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the
fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
[8] But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the
trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram
of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him. [9] And every
offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring
unto the priest, shall be his. [10] And every man's hallowed things shall
be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
[11] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [12] Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a
trespass against him, [13] And 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, neither she be taken with the manner; [14]
And 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: [15] Then shall the man bring
his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering 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 an offering of jealousy, an offering of
memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. [16] And the priest shall bring
her near, and set her before the LORD: [17] And the priest shall take holy
water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the
tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
[18] And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the
woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the
jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water
that causeth the curse:
[19] And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If
no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness
with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water
that causeth the curse:
[20] But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if
thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
[21] Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and
the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath
among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly
to swell;
[22] And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to
make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say,
Amen, amen.
[23] And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot
them out with the bitter water:
[24] And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth
the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and
become bitter.
[25] Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's
hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the
altar:
[26] And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the
memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the
woman to drink the water.
[27] And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to
pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband,
that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become
bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman
shall be a curse among her people.
[28] And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free,
and shall conceive seed.
[29] This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another
instead of her husband, and is defiled; [30] Or when the spirit of jealousy
cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman
before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
[31] Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall
bear her iniquity.

Numbers 6
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate
themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the
LORD:
[3] He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink
no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any
liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. [4] All the days of his
separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the
kernels even to the husk. [5] All the days of the vow of his separation
there shall no rasor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in
the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall
let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
[6] All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at
no dead body.
[7] He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother,
for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration
of his God is upon his head.
[8] All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD. [9] And if any
man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his
consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on
the seventh day shall he shave it. [10] And on the eighth day he shall
bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation: [11] And the priest shall offer the one for
a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement
for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that
same day. [12] And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his
separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass
offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his
separation was defiled. [13] And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the
days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation:
[14] And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the
first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the
first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish
for peace offerings,
[15] And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with
oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat
offering, and their drink offerings.
[16] And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his
sin offering, and his burnt offering: [17] And he shall offer the ram for a
sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened
bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink
offering. [18] And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of
the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the
sacrifice of the peace offerings.
[19] And the priest shall take the sodden 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 Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is
shaven:
[20] And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and
after that the Nazarite may drink wine. [21] This is the law of the
Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his
separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which
he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.
[22] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [23] Speak unto Aaron and unto
his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel,
saying unto them, [24] The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: [25] The LORD
make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: [26] The LORD
lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. [27] And they shall
put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
