Versliste
And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
Of these, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah; and six thousand were officers and judges;
and four thousand were doorkeepers; and four thousand praised Jehovah with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
And Jehovah spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses,
from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter upon the {Hebrew: warfare, or host (and so in verse 35, 39, 43).}service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.
This is the {Or, work}service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, about the most holy things:
And Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,
that sing idle songs to the sound of the viol; that invent for themselves instruments of music, {Or, like David's}like David;
But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
And Moses numbered, as Jehovah commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel.
And all the first-born males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
And the {Greek: portals.}gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):
and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it:
and there shall in no wise enter into it anything {Greek: common.}unclean, or he that {Or, doeth}maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they that are written in the Lamb's book of life.
