The Substitution for the Firstborn

The Substitution for the Firstborn

40Then the Lord said to Moses, “Number all the firstborn males of the Israelites from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names. 41And take the Levites for me – I am the Lord – instead of all the firstborn males among the Israelites, and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites.” 42So Moses numbered all the firstborn males among the Israelites, as the Lord had commanded him. 43And all the firstborn males, by the number of the names from a month old and upward, totaled 22,273.

44Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 45“Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn males among the Israelites, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock. And the Levites will be mine. I am the Lord. 46And for the redemption of the 273 firstborn males of the Israelites who exceed the number of the Levites, 47collect five shekels for each one individually; you are to collect this amount in the currency of the sanctuary shekel (this shekel is twenty gerahs). 48And give the money for the redemption of the excess number of them to Aaron and his sons.”

49So Moses took the redemption money from those who were in excess of those redeemed by the Levites. 50From the firstborn males of the Israelites he collected the money, 1,365 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel. 51Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

4Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 2“Take a census of the Kohathites from among the Levites, by their families and by their clans, 3from thirty years old and upward to fifty years old, all who enter the company to do the work in the tent of meeting. 4This is the service of the Kohathites in the tent of meeting, relating to the most holy things. 5When it is time for the camp to journey, Aaron and his sons must come and take down the screening curtain and cover the ark of the testimony with it. 6Then they must put over it a covering of fine leather and spread over that a cloth entirely of blue, and then they must insert its poles.

7“On the table of the presence they must spread a blue cloth, and put on it the dishes, the pans, the bowls, and the pitchers for pouring, and the Bread of the Presence must be on it continually. 8They must spread over them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same with a covering of fine leather; and they must insert its poles.

9“They must take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand of the light, with its lamps, its wick-trimmers, its trays, and all its oil vessels, with which they service it. 10Then they must put it with all its utensils in a covering of fine leather, and put it on a carrying beam.

11“They must spread a blue cloth on the gold altar, and cover it with a covering of fine leather; and they must insert its poles. 12Then they must take all the utensils of the service, with which they serve in the sanctuary, put them in a blue cloth, cover them with a covering of fine leather, and put them on a carrying beam. 13Also, they must take away the ashes from the altar and spread a purple cloth over it. 14Then they must place on it all its implements with which they serve there – the trays, the meat forks, the shovels, the basins, and all the utensils of the altar – and they must spread on it a covering of fine leather, and then insert its poles.

15“When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is ready to journey, then the Kohathites will come to carry them; but they must not touch any holy thing, or they will die. These are the responsibilities of the Kohathites with the tent of meeting.

16“The appointed responsibility of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest is for the oil for the light, and the spiced incense, and the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil; he also has the appointed responsibility over all the tabernacle with all that is in it, over the sanctuary and over all its furnishings.”

17Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 18“Do not allow the tribe of the families of the Kohathites to be cut off from among the Levites; 19but in order that they will live and not die when they approach the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons will go in and appoint each man to his service and his responsibility. 20But the Kohathites are not to go in to watch while the holy things are being covered, or they will die.”
