[28] And every dedicated thing which a man shall dedicate to the Lord of all that he has, whether man or beast, or of the field of his possession, he shall not sell it, nor redeem it: every devoted thing shall be most holy to the Lord. [29] And whatever shall be dedicated of men, shall not be ransomed, but shall be surely put to death. [30] Every tithe of the land, both of the seed of the land, and of the fruit of trees, is the Lord’s, holy to the Lord. [31] And if a man should at all redeem his tithe, he shall add the fifth part to it, and it shall be his. [32] And every tithe of oxen, and of sheep, and whatsoever may come in numbering under the rod, the tenth shall be holy to the Lord. [33] Thou shalt not change a good for a bad, or a bad for a good; and if thou shouldest at all change it, its equivalent also shall be holy, it shall not be redeemed.
[34] These are the commandments which the Lord commanded Moses for the sons of Israel in mount Sina.

[44] This is the numbering which Moses and Aaron and the rulers of Israel, being twelve men, conducted: there was a man for each tribe, they were according to the tribe of the houses of their family. [45] And the whole numbering of the children of Israel with their host from twenty years old and upward, every one that goes out to set himself in battle array in Israel, came to [46] six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
[47] But the Levites of the tribe of their family were not counted among the children of Israel. [48] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [49] See, thou shalt not muster the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt not take their numbers, in the midst of the children of Israel. [50] And do thou set the Levites over the tabernacle of witness, and over all its furniture, and over all things that are in it; and they shall do service in it, and they shall encamp round about the tabernacle. [51] And in removing the tabernacle, the Levites shall take it down, and in pitching the tabernacle they shall set it up: and let the stranger that advances to touch it die. [52] And the children of Israel shall encamp, every man in his own order, and every man according to his company, with their host. [53] But let the Levites encamp round about the tabernacle
of witness fronting it, and so there shall be no sin among the children of Israel; and the Levites themselves shall keep the guard of the tabernacle of witness. [54] And the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Chapter 2
[1] And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, [2] Let the children of Israel encamp fronting each other, every man keeping his own rank, according to their standards, according to the houses of their families; the children of Israel shall encamp round about the tabernacle of witness. [3] And they that encamp first toward the east shall be the order of the camp of Juda with their host, and the prince of the sons of Juda, Naasson the son of Aminadab. [4] His forces that were numbered, were seventy-four thousand and six hundred. [5] And they that encamp next shall be of the tribe of Issachar, and the prince of the sons of Issachar shall be Nathanael the son of Sogar.

[15] His forces that were numbered, were forty-five thousand and six hundred and fifty. [16] All who were numbered of the camp of Ruben, were a hundred and fifty-one thousand and four hundred and fifty: they with their forces shall proceed in the second place.
[17] And then the tabernacle of witness shall be set forward, and the camp of the Levites shall be between the camps; as they shall encamp, so also shall they commence their march, each one next in order to his fellow according to their companies. [18] The station of the camp of Ephraim shall be westward with their forces, and the head of the children of Ephraim shall be Elisama the son of Emiud. [19] His forces that were numbered, are forty thousand and five hundred.

[32] This is the numbering of the children of Israel according to the houses of their families: all the numbering of the camps with their forces, was six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty. [33] But the Levites were not numbered with them, as the Lord commanded Moses. [34] And the children of Israel did all things that the Lord commanded Moses; thus they encamped in their order, and thus they began their march in succession each according to their divisions, according to the houses of their families.
Chapter 3
[1] And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day in which the Lord spoke to Moses in mount Sina. [2] And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the first-born; and Abiud, Eleazar and Ithamar. [3] These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests whom they consecrated to the priesthood. [4] And Nadab and Abiud died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sina; and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priests’ office with Aaron their father.
[5] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [6] Take the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt set them before Aaron the priest, and they shall minister to him, [7] and shall keep his charges, and the charges of the children of Israel, before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle. [8] And they shall keep all the furniture of the tabernacle of witness, and the charges of the children of Israel as to all the works of the tabernacle. [9] And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron, and to his sons the priests; they are given for a gift to me of the children of Israel. [10] And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the tabernacle of witness; and they shall keep their charge of priesthood, and all things belonging to the altar, and within the veil; and the stranger that touches them shall die. [11] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [12] Behold, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel, instead of every male that opens the womb from among the children of Israel: they shall be their ransom, and the Levites shall be mine. [13] For every first-born is mine; in the day in which I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to myself every first-born in Israel: both of man and beast, they shall be mine: I am the Lord.
[14] And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, saying, [15] Take the number of the sons of Levi, according to the houses of their families, according to their divisions; number ye them every male from a month old and upwards. [16] And Moses and Aaron numbered them by the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded them.
[17] And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gedson, Caath, and Merari. [18] And these are the names of the sons of Gedson according to their families; Lobeni and Semei: [19] and the sons of Caath according to their families; Amram and Issaar, Chebron and Oziel: [20] and the sons of Merari according to their families, Mooli and Musi; these are the families of the Levites according to the houses of their families. [21] To Gedson belongs the family of Lobeni, and the family of Semei: these are the families of Gedson. [22] The numbering of them according to the number of every male from a month old and upwards, their numbering was seven thousand and five hundred. [23] And the sons of Gedson shall encamp westward behind the tabernacle. [24] And the ruler of the household of the family of Gedson was Elisaph the son of Dael. [25] And the charge of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness was the tent and the veil, and the covering of the door of the tabernacle of witness, [26] and the curtains of the court, and the veil of the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and the remainder of all its works.
[27] To Caath belonged one division, that of Amram, and another division, that of Issaar, and another division, that of Chebron, and another division, that of Oziel: these are the divisions of Caath, according to number. [28] Every male from a month old and upward, eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charges of the holy things. [29] The families of the sons of Caath, shall encamp beside the tabernacle toward the south. [30] And the chief of the house of the families of the divisions of Caath, was Elisaphan the son of Oziel.
[31] And their charge was the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and all the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they do holy service, and the veil, and all their works. [32] And the chief over the chief of the Levites, was Eleazar the son of Aaron the prie
st, appointed to keep the charges of the holy things. [33] To Merari belonged the family of Mooli, and the family of Musi: these are the families of Merari. [34] The mustering of them according to number, every male from a month old and upwards, was six thousand and fifty. [35] And the head of the house of the families of the division of Merari, was Suriel the son of Abichail: they shall encamp by the side of the tabernacle northwards. [36] The oversight of the charge of the sons of Merari included the chapiters of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all their furniture, and their works, [37] and the pillars of the court round about, and their bases, and their pins, and their cords.
