The Book of Numbers 4

4 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2 “Lift up the head of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi, according to their clans, according to the house of their fathers, 3 from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, all who come to the company to do work in the tent of meeting. 4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, the holy thing of the holy things. 5 And Aaron and his sons shall come when the camp sets out, and they shall take down the curtain of the covering, and with it they shall cover the box of the testimony. 6 And they shall put upon it a cover of the skin of the porpoise, and they shall spread a cloth entirely of blue above, and they shall place its poles. 7 And over the table of the face they shall spread a cloth of blue, and they shall put on it the dishes and the pans and the sacrificial bowls and the jars of the drink offering, and the bread of continuity shall be on it. 8 And they shall spread on them a cloth of the worms of scarlet, and they shall cover it with a covering of the skin of the porpoise, and they shall place its poles. 9 And they shall take a cloth of blue and cover the lampstand of the light source and its lamps and its snuffers and its trays and all the vessels of its oil with which they serve it. 10 And they shall put it and all its vessels into the covering of the skin of the porpoise, and they shall put it on the carrying bar. 11 And upon the altar of gold they shall spread a cloth of blue, and they shall cover it with a covering of the skin of the porpoise, and they shall place its poles. 12 And they shall take all the implements of the service with which they serve in the holy place, and they shall put them into a cloth of blue. And they shall cover them with a covering of the skin of the porpoise. And they shall put it on the carrying bar. 13 And they shall remove the fatty ashes from the altar, and they shall spread on it a cloth of purple. 14 And they shall put on it all its implements with which they serve on it: the trays, the meat forks and the shovels and the bowls—all the implements of the altar. And they shall spread on it a covering of the skin of the porpoise, and they shall place its poles. 15 And Aaron and his sons shall finish to cover the holy place and all the implements of the holy place when the camp sets out. And afterward the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them, and they shall not touch the holy thing and die. These are the load of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting. 16 And the oversight of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is the oil of the light source and the incense of the spices and the grain offering of the continuity and the oil of the anointment, the oversight of all the dwelling and all that is in it, with the holy place and with its implements.”

17 And Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 18 “Do not let the tribe of the clans of the Kohathite be cut off from the midst of the Levites. 19 And do this for them, and they will live and not die when they approach the holiest holy thing: Aaron and his sons shall enter and place them man by man in accordance with his service and according to his load. 20 And they shall not enter to look at the holy place like a gulp and die.”

21 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 22 “Lift up the head of the sons of Gershon, even them, according to the house of their fathers, according to their clans. 23 You shall count them from a son of 30 years and upward up to a son of 50 years, every one who comes to serve service, to work work in the tent of meeting. 24 This is the work of the clans of the Gershonite, for working and for a load. 25 And they shall carry the curtains of the dwelling and the tent of meeting, its covering, the covering of porpoise which is on it above and the covering of the opening of the tent of meeting 26 and the hangings of the courtyard and the covering of the opening of the gate of the courtyard that is beside the dwelling and beside the altar all around, and their ropes and all the implements of their work and all that is to be done for them; and they shall work. 27 In accordance with the mouth of Aaron and his sons will be all the work of the sons of the Gershonite, according to all their load and according to all their work. And you shall appoint for them by duty all their load. 28 This is the work of the clans of the sons of the Gershonite in the tent of meeting and their duty in the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

29 You shall count them, the sons of Merari, according to their clans, according to the house of their fathers. 30 You shall count them from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, every one who comes to the company, to serve the service of the tent of meeting. 31 And this is the duty of their load, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the dwelling and its bars and its pillars and its bases 32 and the pillars of the courtyard all around and their bases and their pegs and their ropes, for all their implements and for all their work; and by names you shall appoint the implements of the duty of their load. 33 This is the service of the clans of the sons of Merari for all their service in the tent of meeting, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.”

34 And Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the congregation counted the sons of the Kohathite according to their clans and according to the house of their fathers, 35 from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, every one who comes to the company for service in the tent of meeting, 36 and their counted ones according to their clans were 2,750. 37 These were the counted ones of the clans of the Kohathite, every one who serves in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron had counted in accordance with the mouth of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.

38 And the counted ones of the sons of Gershon, according to their clans and according to the house of their fathers, 39 from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, every one who comes to the company for service in the tent of meeting, 40 and their counted ones according to their clans, according to the house of their fathers were 2,630. 41 These were the counted ones of the clans of the sons of Gershon, every one who serves in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron had counted in accordance with the mouth of Yahweh.

42 And the counted ones of the clans of the sons of Merari, according to their clans, according to the house of their fathers, 43 from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, every one who comes to the company for service in the tent of meeting, 44 and their counted ones according to their clans were 3,200. 45 These are the counted ones of the clans of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron had counted in accordance with the mouth of Yahweh by the hand of Moses,

46 all the counted ones whom Moses and Aaron and the leaders of Israel had counted, the Levites according to their clans and according to the house of their fathers, 47 from a son of 30 years and upward and up to a son of 50 years, every one who comes to serve the service of service and the service of load in the tent of meeting, 48 and their counted ones were 8,580. 49 In accordance with the mouth of Yahweh he counted them by the hand of Moses, man by man in accordance with his work and in accordance with his load, and his numbered ones that Yahweh had commanded Moses.
