RF NUM 3:1 Families of Moses and Aaron.
The following were the children of Aaron and Moses at the time the EVER-LIVING spoke with Moses at Mount Sinai.
RF NUM 3:2 Sons of Aaron.
And these are the names of the sons of Aaron. The eldest Nadab, and Abihu, Aliazar and Aithamar.
RF NUM 3:3 These were the names of the sons of Aaron the consecrated priest, who filled the office of priests.
RF NUM 3:4 But Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the EVER-LIVING in the Wilderness of Sinai; and they had no sons, so Aliazar and Aithamar became priests in the presence of Aaron their father.
RF NUM 3:5 Confirmation of Levites as Priests.
Then the EVER-LIVING spoke to Moses saying,
RF NUM 3:6 "Present the tribe of Levi, and station them before Aaron the priest, and they shall serve with him, and guard what is intrusted to him,
RF NUM 3:7 and the trusts of all the congregation, in the Hall of Assembly, and perform the services of the sanctuary.
RF NUM 3:8 They shall also guard all the furniture of the Hall of Assembly, and the trusts of the children of Israel, and perform the services of the sanctuary.
RF NUM 3:9 Therefore give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. Presenting them to him as an offering for the children of Israel,
RF NUM 3:10 and instruct Aaron and his sons, that they must preserve the priest Separation
RF NUM 3:11 Separation of the Tribe of Levi.
The EVER-LIVING also spoke to Moses commanding;—
RF NUM 3:12 "I, also, now, have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel; so the Levites shall be Mine,
RF NUM 3:13 for all the firstborn were Mine at the time when I cut off all the firstborn in the land of the Mitzeraim, I then dedicated all the firstborn of Israel to Myself, from man and also from beast, They shall be Mine. I am the EVER-LIVING."
RF NUM 3:14 The Levites to be Organized.
The EVER-LIVING also spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, commanding,
RF NUM 3:15 "'Organize the sons of Levi by their ancestral houses from their registers,—you must organize every male from a month old and upwards."
RF NUM 3:16 Moses consequently organized them as the EVER-LIVING Commanded;
RF NUM 3:17 and these were the sons of Levi by, their names;—Ghershon, and Kahath, and Merari.
RF NUM 3:18 And these were the names of the sons of Ghershon, by their registers, Libni and Shimai.
RF NUM 3:19 And the sons of Kahath, by their registers, Amram and Itzar, Khabron and Ouzial.
RF NUM 3:20 And the sons of Merari by their registers, Makhli, and Mashi.
RF NUM 3:21 These are from the registers of the ancestral houses of Levi; from the registers of Ghershon, from the registers of Libni; from the registers of Shimai. These were from the registers of the Ghershonites.
RF NUM 3:22 They were organized from the books, every male from a month old and upwards;1—their enrolment was seven thousand, five hundred.
RF NUM 3:23 "The families of the Ghershonites shall encamp behind the sanctuary, to the westward;
RF NUM 3:24 and the commander of the house of the Ghershonites shall be Aliasaph the son of Lael.
RF NUM 3:25 Thus the duties of the sons of Ghershon shall be in the Hall of Assembly about the sanctuary, and the sacred tabernacle, and the screen before the entrance of the Hall of Assembly,
RF NUM 3:26 and the curtains of the court, and the screen at the entrance of the court, that is above the sanctuary; and around the altar, and all the instruments for the whole of the services."
RF NUM 3:27 And those enrolled from the families of the Amramites, and from the families of the Izeharites, and from the families of the Khabronites, and from the families of the Azrialites, those who were from the' families of Kaharites according to the register,—
RF NUM 3:28 all the males, from a month old and upwards, were eight thousand, six hundred to form the guard of the Holy Place.
RF NUM 3:29 "The families of the sons of Kahath shall encamp upon the south side of the sanctuary;
RF NUM 3:30 and the commander of the families of Kahathites shall be Alizaphan the son of Azial.
RF NUM 3:31 They shall be entrusted with the ark, and the table, and the lamp, and the altars, and the sacred furniture, which they shall guard; with the screen, and all the appliances of the services.
RF NUM 3:32 The prince who commands the Levites shall be Aliazar the son of Aaron, the priest, who shall be appointed to guard the sacred trusts."
RF NUM 3:33 But in conjunction with Merari were the families of Makhli, and the family of Mushi. They were with the family of Merari.
RF NUM 3:34 They were also enrolled in the register every male from a month old and upwards, six thousand, two hundred;
RF NUM 3:35 "And the commander of the ancestral house of Merari shall be Tzurial the son of Abikhail. They shall encamp at the north side of the sanctuary;
RF NUM 3:36 and the duties of the sons of Merari shall be the guardianship of the planks of the sanctuary; and the cross-bars, and the pillars; and the bases, and all the appurtenances,
RF NUM 3:37 as well as the pillars of the surrounding court, and their bases, and the spikes and ropes.
RF NUM 3:38 "But Moses and Aaron shall encamp before the sanctuary on the east, in front of the Hall of Assembly, and Aaron and his sons shall guard the sacred things confided to them in trust for the children of Israel; and if a stranger approaches he shall be killed."
RF NUM 3:39 All the enrolments of the Levites that Moses and Aaron organized before the EVER-LIVING from their families, all males from a month old and upwards, were twenty-two thousand.
RF NUM 3:40 Census of the Firstborn Ordered.
The EVER-LIVING also said to Moses, "Take a census of every firstborn male of the children of Israel, from a month old and upwards, and record them in a register by name.
RF NUM 3:41 But you shall separate the Levites for Myself,—I, the EVER-LIVING—instead of all the firstborn of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites also instead of the firstborn of the cattle of the children of Israel."
RF NUM 3:42 Moses therefore enumerated as the EVER-LIVING commanded him, every male of the children of Israel,
RF NUM 3:43 and all the firstborn males were recorded in the register of names, from a month old and upwards, to the number of forty thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.
RF NUM 3:44 Separation of the Levites Ordered.
The EVER-LIVING afterwards spoke to Moses, commanding;
RF NUM 3:45 "Separate the Levites instead of the firstborn of the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle. The Levites shall be Mine; I am the EVER-LIVING.
RF NUM 3:46 And for the redemption of the firstborn of the children of Israel in excess of the number,
RF NUM 3:47 take five shekels for each head, by the sacred shekel. Let there be twenty grains to a shekel,
RF NUM 3:48 and give the money to Aaron and his sons to redeem that excess."
RF NUM 3:49 Moses consequently collected the money for their ransom from the persons in excess of the firstborn who were ransomed,
RF NUM 3:50 from the children of Israel. The tax by that money produced one thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the sacred shekel.
RF NUM 3:51 Moses gave the money of the ransom to Aaron and his sons before the EVER-LIVING:—as the EVER-LIVING commanded to Moses.
