Numbers · Chapter 4
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh and unto Aharon, saying,
Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the mishkan of the congregation.
This
shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the mishkan of the congregation,
about the most holy things:
And when the camp setteth forward, Aharon shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
And shall put thereon the covering of badgers’ skins, and shall spread over
it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put
it upon a bar.
And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:
And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put
them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers’ skins, and shall put
them
on a bar:
And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it,
even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers skins, and put to the staves of it.
And when Aharon and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear
it: but they shall not touch
any holy thing, lest they die. These
things are
the burden of the sons of Kohath in the mishkan of the congregation.
And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aharon the kohen
pertaineth
the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil,
and the oversight of all the mishkan, and of all that therein
is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh and unto Aharon, saying,
Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aharon and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the mishkan of the congregation.
This
is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
And they shall bear the curtains of the mishkan, and the mishkan of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers’ skins that
is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the mishkan of the congregation,
And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which
is by the mishkan and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.
At the appointment of Aharon and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the mishkan of the congregation: and their charge
shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aharon the kohen.
As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the mishkan of the congregation.
And this
is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the mishkan of the congregation; the boards of the mishkan, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,
And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
This
is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the mishkan of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aharon the kohen.
And Mosheh and Aharon and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the mishkan of the congregation:
And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
These
were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the mishkan of the congregation, which Mosheh and Aharon did number according to the mitsvah of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) by the hand of Mosheh.
And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,
From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the mishkan of the congregation,
Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.
These
are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the mishkan of the congregation, whom Mosheh and Aharon did number according to the mitsvah of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,
From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the mishkan of the congregation,
Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred.
These
be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Mosheh and Aharon numbered according to the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) by the hand of Mosheh.
All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Mosheh and Aharon and the chief of Yisra'el numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the mishkan of the congregation,
Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.
According to the mitsvah of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) they were numbered by the hand of Mosheh, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) commanded Mosheh.

Bamidbar5
Numbers · Chapter 5
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Command the children of Yisra'el, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
And the children of Yisra'el did so, and put them out without the camp: as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, so did the children of Yisra'el.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Speak unto the children of Yisra'el, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and that person be guilty;
Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth
part thereof, and give
it unto
him against whom he hath trespassed.
But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH),
even to the kohen; beside the ram of the kapparah, whereby an kapparah shall be made for him.
And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Yisra'el, which they bring unto the kohen, shall be his.
And every man’s hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the kohen, it shall be his.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Speak unto the children of Yisra'el, and say unto them, If any man’s wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and
there be no witness against her, neither she be taken
with the manner;
And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
Then shall the man bring his wife unto the kohen, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth
part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it
is
an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
And the kohen shall bring her near, and set her before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH):
And the kohen shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the mishkan the kohen shall take, and put
it into the water:
And the kohen shall set the woman before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which
is
the jealousy offering: and the kohen shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
And the kohen shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness
with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
But if thou hast gone aside
to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
Then the kohen shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the kohen shall say unto the woman, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make
thy belly to swell, and
thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
And the kohen shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot
them out with the bitter water:
And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her,
and become bitter.
Then the kohen shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and offer it upon the altar:
And the kohen shall take an handful of the offering,
even
the memorial thereof, and burn
it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass,
that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her,
and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
This
is the torah of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside
to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and the kohen shall execute upon her all this torah.
Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

Numbers · Chapter 6
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Speak unto the children of Yisra'el, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate
themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate
themselves unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH):
He shall separate
himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth
himself
unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), he shall be holy,
and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
All the days that he separateth
himself unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) he shall come at no dead body.
He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his Elohim
is upon his head.
All the days of his separation he
is holy unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the kohen, to the door of the mishkan of the congregation:
And the kohen shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an kapparah for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
And he shall consecrate unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
And this
is the torah of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the mishkan of the congregation:
And he shall offer his offering unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.
And the kohen shall bring
them before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
And he shall offer the ram
for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), with the basket of unleavened bread: the kohen shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.
And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation
at
the door of the mishkan of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put
it in the fire which
is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
And the kohen shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put
them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after
the hair of
his separation is shaven:
And the kohen shall wave them
for a wave offering before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): this
is holy for the kohen, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
This
is the torah of the Nazarite who hath vowed,
and of
his offering unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) for his separation, beside that
that
his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the torah of his separation.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) spake unto Mosheh, saying,
Speak unto Aharon and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Yisra'el, saying unto them,
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) bless thee, and keep thee:
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
And they shall put my name upon the children of Yisra'el; and I will bless them.
