Num 3:1 And these are the generations of Aharon and Mosheh when יהוה
spoke with Mosheh on Mount Sinai.
Num 3:2 And these are the names of the sons of Aharon: Naḏaḇ, the first-
born, and Aḇihu, El‛azar, and Ithamar.
Num 3:3 These are the names of the sons of Aharon, the anointed priests,
whom he ordained to act as priests.
Num 3:4 And Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu had died before יהוה when they brought
strange fire before יהוה in the Wilderness of Sinai. And they had no children.
So El‛azar and Ithamar acted as priests in the presence of Aharon their father.
Num 3:5 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 3:6 “Bring the tribe of Lĕwi near, and set them before Aharon the
priest, and they shall serve him,
Num 3:7 and shall guard his duty and the duty of all the congregation before
the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the Dwelling Place.
Num 3:8 “And they shall guard all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and
the duty of the children of Yisra’ĕl, to do the service of the Dwelling Place.
Num 3:9 “And you shall give the Lĕwites to Aharon and his sons. They are
the given ones, given to him from among the children of Yisra’ĕl.
Num 3:10 “And appoint Aharon and his sons, and they shall guard their
priesthood. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
Num 3:11 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 3:12 “Now look, I Myself have taken the Lĕwites from among the
children of Yisra’ĕl instead of every first-born who opens the womb among
the children of Yisra’ĕl. And the Lĕwites shall be Mine,
Num 3:13 because all the first-born are Mine. On the day that I struck all the
first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, I set apart to Myself all the first-born in
Yisra’ĕl, both man and beast. They are Mine, I am יהוה.”
Num 3:14 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Num 3:15 “Register the children of Lĕwi by their fathers’ houses, by their
clans. Register every male from a month old and above.”
Num 3:16 So Mosheh registered them according to the word of יהוה, as he
had been commanded.
Num 3:17 And these were the sons of Lĕwi by their names: Gĕreshon, and
Qehath, and Merari.
Num 3:18 And these are the names of the sons of Gĕreshon by their clans:
Liḇni and Shim‛i.
Num 3:19 And the sons of Qehath by their clans: Amram and Yitshar,
Ḥeḇron and Uzzi’ĕl.
Num 3:20 And the sons of Merari by their clans: Maḥli and Mushi. These
are the clans of the Lĕwites by their fathers’ houses.
Num 3:21 From Gĕreshon came the clan of the Liḇnites and the clan of the
Shim‛ites. These were the clans of the Gĕreshonites.
Num 3:22 Their registered ones, according to the number of all the males
from a month old and above, their registered ones were seven thousand five
hundred.
Num 3:23 The clans of the Gĕreshonites were to camp westward, behind the
Dwelling Place,
Num 3:24 and the leader of the fathers’ house of the Gĕreshonites: Elyasaph,
son of La’ĕl.
Num 3:25 And the duty of the children of Gĕreshon in the Tent of Meeting
was the Dwelling Place, and the tent with its covering, and the covering of
the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Num 3:26 and the screens of the courtyard and the covering of the door of
the courtyard, which is around the Dwelling Place and the altar, and their
cords, according to all its service.
Num 3:27 And from Qehath came the clan of the Amramites, and the clan of
the Yitsharites, and the clan of the Ḥeḇronites, and the clan of the Uzzi’ĕlites.
These were the clans of the Qehathites.
Num 3:28 In number, all the males, from a month old and above, were eight
thousand six hundred, guarding the duty of the set-apart place.
Num 3:29 The clans of the children of Qehath were to camp on the south
side of the Dwelling Place.
Num 3:30 And the leader of the fathers’ house of the clans of the Qehathites
was Elitsaphan, son of Uzzi’ĕl.
Num 3:31 And their duty was the ark, and the table, and the lampstand, and
the altars, and the utensils of the set-apart place used in the service, and the
covering, and all its service.
Num 3:32 And El‛azar, son of Aharon the priest, was to be chief over the
leaders of the Lĕwites, with oversight of those who guard the duty of the set-
apart place.
Num 3:33 From Merari came the clan of the Maḥlites and the clan of the
Mushites. These were the clans of Merari.
Num 3:34 And the number of their registered ones, all the males from a
month old and above, were six thousand two hundred.
Num 3:35 And the leader of the fathers’ house of the clans of Merari was
Tsuri’ĕl, son of Aḇiḥayil. These were to camp on the north side of the
Dwelling Place.
Num 3:36 And the appointed duty of the children of Merari was the boards
of the Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its columns, and its sockets, and its
utensils, and all its service,
Num 3:37 and the columns of the courtyard all around, with their sockets,
and their pegs, and their cords.
Num 3:38 And those who were to camp before the Dwelling Place on the
east, before the Tent of Meeting, were Mosheh and Aharon, and his sons,
guarding the duty of the set-apart place, and the duty of the children of
Yisra’ĕl. But the stranger who came near was to be put to death.
Num 3:39 All the registered ones of the Lĕwites, whom Mosheh and Aharon
registered at the command of יהוה, by their clans, all the males from a month
old and above, were twenty-two thousand.
Num 3:40 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Register all the first-born males of the
children of Yisra’ĕl from a month old and above, and take the number of their
names.
Num 3:41 “And you shall take the Lĕwites for Me – I am  יהוה– instead of all
the first-born among the children of Yisra’ĕl, and the livestock of the Lĕwites
instead of all the first-born among the livestock of the children of Yisra’ĕl.”
Num 3:42 And Mosheh registered all the first-born among the children of
Yisra’ĕl as יהוה had commanded him.
Num 3:43 And all the first-born males, by the number of names, from one
month old and above of their registered ones, were twenty-two thousand two
hundred and seventy-three.
Num 3:44 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 3:45 “Take the Lĕwites instead of all the first-born among the children
of Yisra’ĕl, and the livestock of the Lĕwites instead of their livestock. And
the Lĕwites shall be Mine, I am יהוה.
Num 3:46 “And for the ransom of the two hundred and seventy-three of the
first-born of the children of Yisra’ĕl, who are more than the number of the
Lĕwites,
Num 3:47 you shall take five sheqels for each one, head by head – take it by
the sheqel of the set-apart place, the sheqel of twenty gĕrahs.
Num 3:48 “And you shall give the silver, the ransom of those who are in
excess among them, to Aharon and his sons.”
Num 3:49 And Mosheh took the ransom silver from those who were over
and above those who were ransomed by the Lĕwites.
Num 3:50 From the first-born of the children of Yisra’ĕl he took the silver,
one thousand three hundred and sixty-five pieces, according to the sheqel of
the set-apart place.
Num 3:51 And Mosheh gave their ransom silver to Aharon, and to his sons,
according to the word of יהוה, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.

the most set-apart matters:
Num 4:5 “At the breaking of camp, Aharon and his sons shall come, and they
shall take down the covering veil and cover the ark of the Witness with it,

same with a covering of fine leather, and shall insert its poles,

Num 4:15 “And when Aharon and his sons have finished covering the set-
apart objects and all the furnishings of the Set-apart Place at the breaking of

of Qehath in the Tent of Meeting.
Num 4:16 “And the oversight of El‛azar, son of Aharon the priest, is the oil

approach the most set-apart objects: Aharon and his sons shall go in and
appoint each of them to his service and his burden.

and in bearing burdens:

Tent of Meeting with its covering, the covering of fine leather that is on it, the
covering for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Num 4:26 and the screens of the courtyard and the covering for the door of
the gate of the courtyard, which is around the Dwelling Place and altar, and
their cords, all the equipment for their service and all that is made for them –
so shall they serve.

of the Gĕreshonites, all their burden and all their service. And you shall
appoint to them all the duty of all their burden.

Num 5:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 5:2 “Command the children of Yisra’ĕl to send out of the camp every
leper, and everyone who has a discharge, and whoever becomes defiled for a
being.
Num 5:3 “Send out both male and female, send them outside the camp, so
that they do not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.”
Num 5:4 And the children of Yisra’ĕl did so, to send them outside the camp.
As יהוה had spoken to Mosheh, so the children of Yisra’ĕl did.
Num 5:5 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 5:6 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘When a man or woman
commits any sin that men commit in trespass against יהוה, and that being is
guilty,
Num 5:7 then they shall confess their sin which they have done. And he shall
restore his guilt in its principal, plus one-fifth of it, and give it to whom he
has been guilty.
Num 5:8 ‘But if the man has no relative to restore the guilt to, the guilt which
is restored goes to יהוה, for the priest, in addition to the ram of the atonement
with which atonement is made for him.
Num 5:9 ‘And every contribution of all the set-apart gifts of the children of
Yisra’ĕl, which they bring to the priest, becomes his.
Num 5:10 ‘And every man’s set-apart gifts becomes his, whatever any man
gives the priest becomes his.’ ”
Num 5:11 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Num 5:12 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When any
man’s wife turns aside and has committed a trespass against him,
Num 5:13 and a man has intercourse with her, and it is hidden from the eyes
of her husband, and it is concealed that she has defiled herself, and there was
no witness against her, nor was she caught,
Num 5:14 and a spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous
of his wife who has defiled herself, or a spirit of jealousy comes upon him
and he becomes jealous of his wife although she has not defiled herself,
Num 5:15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. And he shall bring
the offering for her, one-tenth of an ĕphah of barley flour. He is not to pour
oil on it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an
offering for remembering, for bringing crookedness to remembrance.
Num 5:16 ‘And the priest shall bring her near, and shall make her stand
.יהוה before
Num 5:17 ‘And the priest shall take set-apart water in an earthen vessel, and
take some of the dust that is on the floor of the Dwelling Place and put it into
the water.
Num 5:18 ‘And the priest shall make the woman stand before יהוה, and shall
uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her
hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy, while the priest holds in his
hand the bitter water that brings a curse.
Num 5:19 ‘And the priest shall make her swear, and say to the woman, “If
no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness
under your husband’s authority, be free from this bitter water that brings a
curse.
Num 5:20 “But if you have turned aside under your husband’s authority, and
if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain
with you” –
Num 5:21 then the priest shall make the woman swear with the oath of the
curse, and he shall say to the woman – “ יהוה make you a curse and an oath
among your people, when יהוה makes your thigh waste away and your belly
swell,
Num 5:22 and this water that causes the curse shall go into your inward
parts, and make your belly swell and your thigh waste away.” And the
woman shall say, “Amĕn, amĕn.”
Num 5:23 ‘And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall wipe
them off into the bitter water,
Num 5:24 and shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings the
curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her to become bitter.
Num 5:25 ‘And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy from the
woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before יהוה, and bring it to the
altar.
Num 5:26 ‘And the priest shall take a hand filled with the offering, as its
remembrance offering, and burn it on the altar, and afterward make the
woman drink the water.
Num 5:27 ‘And when he has made her drink the water, then it shall be, if she
has defiled herself and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the
water that brings the curse shall enter her and become bitter, and her belly
shall swell, and her thigh shall waste away, and the woman shall become a
curse among her people.
Num 5:28 ‘But if the woman has not defiled herself, and is clean, then she
shall be clear and shall conceive children.
Num 5:29 ‘This is the Torah of jealousy, when a wife turns aside under her
husband’s authority and defiles herself,
Num 5:30 or when a spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and he becomes
jealous of his wife. Then he shall make the woman stand before יהוה, and the
priest shall do to her all this Torah.
Num 5:31 ‘And the man shall be clear from crookedness, but the woman
bear her crookedness.’ ”
