At that timeH6256 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, HewH6458 thee twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68 like unto the firstH7223, and come upH5927 unto me into the mountH2022, and makeH6213 thee an arkH727 of woodH6086.
And I will writeH3789 on the tablesH3871 the wordsH1697 that were in the firstH7223 tablesH3871 which thou brakestH7665, and thou shalt putH7760 them in the arkH727.
And I madeH6213 an arkH727 of shittimH7848 woodH6086, and hewedH6458 twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68 like unto the firstH7223, and went upH5927 into the mountH2022, having the twoH8147 tablesH3871 in mine handH3027.
And he wroteH3789 on the tablesH3871, according to the firstH7223 writingH4385, the tenH6235 commandmentsH1697, which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto you in the mountH2022 out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784 in the dayH3117 of the assemblyH6951: and the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 them unto me. {commandments: Heb. words}
And I turnedH6437 myself and came downH3381 from the mountH2022, and putH7760 the tablesH3871 in the arkH727 which I had madeH6213; and there they be, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 me.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 took their journeyH5265 from Beeroth of the children of JaakanH885 to MoseraH4149: there AaronH175 diedH4191, and there he was buriedH6912; and EleazarH499 his sonH1121 ministered in the priest's officeH3547 in his stead.
From thence they journeyedH5265 unto GudgodahH1412; and from GudgodahH1412 to JotbathH3193, a landH776 of riversH5158 of watersH4325.
At that timeH6256 the LORDH3068 separatedH914 the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878, to bearH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, to standH5975 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 to ministerH8334 unto him, and to blessH1288 in his nameH8034, unto this dayH3117.
Wherefore LeviH3878 hath no partH2506 nor inheritanceH5159 with his brethrenH251; the LORDH3068 is his inheritanceH5159, according as the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 promisedH1696 him.
And I stayedH5975 in the mountH2022, according to the firstH7223 timeH3117, fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; and the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 unto me at that timeH6471 also, and the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not destroyH7843 thee. {first…: or, former days}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, AriseH6965, takeH3212 thy journeyH4550 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971, that they may go inH935 and possessH3423 the landH776, which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 to giveH5414 unto them. {take…: Heb. go in journey}
And now, IsraelH3478, what doth the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 requireH7592 of thee, but to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to loveH157 him, and to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with all thy heartH3824 and with all thy soulH5315,
To keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and his statutesH2708, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117 for thy goodH2896?
Behold, the heavenH8064 and the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 is the LORD'SH3068 thy GodH430, the earthH776 also, with all that therein is.
Only the LORDH3068 had a delightH2836 in thy fathersH1 to loveH157 them, and he choseH977 their seedH2233 afterH310 them, even you above all peopleH5971, as it is this dayH3117.
CircumciseH4135 therefore the foreskinH6190 of your heartH3824, and be no more stiffneckedH6203+H7185.
For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is GodH430 of godsH430, and LordH113 of lordsH113, a greatH1419 GodH410, a mightyH1368, and a terribleH3372, which regardethH5375 not personsH6440, nor takethH3947 rewardH7810:
He doth executeH6213 the judgmentH4941 of the fatherlessH3490 and widowH490, and lovethH157 the strangerH1616, in givingH5414 him foodH3899 and raimentH8071.
LoveH157 ye therefore the strangerH1616: for ye were strangersH1616 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Thou shalt fearH3372 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; him shalt thou serveH5647, and to him shalt thou cleaveH1692, and swearH7650 by his nameH8034.
He is thy praiseH8416, and he is thy GodH430, that hath doneH6213 for thee these greatH1419 and terrible thingsH3372, which thine eyesH5869 have seenH7200.
Thy fathersH1 went downH3381 into EgyptH4714 with threescore and tenH7657 personsH5315; and now the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath madeH7760 thee as the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 for multitudeH7230.

And this is the thingH1697 that thou shalt doH6213 unto them to hallowH6942 them, to minister unto me in the priest's officeH3547: TakeH3947 oneH259 youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499, and twoH8147 ramsH352 without blemishH8549,

And thou shalt takeH3947 the garmentsH899, and putH3847 upon AaronH175 the coatH3801, and the robeH4598 of the ephodH646, and the ephodH646, and the breastplateH2833, and girdH640 him with the curious girdleH2805 of the ephodH646:
And thou shalt putH7760 the mitreH4701 upon his headH7218, and putH5414 the holyH6944 crownH5145 upon the mitreH4701.

And thou shalt cause a bullockH6499 to be broughtH7126 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall putH5564 their handsH3027 upon the headH7218 of the bullockH6499.
And thou shalt killH7819 the bullockH6499 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, by the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And thou shalt takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 of the bullockH6499, and putH5414 it upon the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196 with thy fingerH676, and pourH8210 all the bloodH1818 besideH413 the bottomH3247 of the altarH4196.
And thou shalt takeH3947 all the fatH2459 that coverethH3680 the inwardsH7130, and the caulH3508 that is above the liverH3516, and the twoH8147 kidneysH3629, and the fatH2459 that is upon them, and burnH6999 them upon the altarH4196. {the caul: it seemeth by anatomy, and the Hebrew doctors, to be the midriff}
But the fleshH1320 of the bullockH6499, and his skinH5785, and his dungH6569, shalt thou burnH8313 with fireH784 withoutH2351 the campH4264: it is a sin offeringH2403.
Thou shalt also takeH3947 oneH259 ramH352; and AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall putH5564 their handsH3027 upon the headH7218 of the ramH352.
And thou shalt slayH7819 the ramH352, and thou shalt takeH3947 his bloodH1818, and sprinkleH2236 it round aboutH5439 upon the altarH4196.
And thou shalt cutH5408 the ramH352 in piecesH5409, and washH7364 the inwardsH7130 of him, and his legsH3767, and putH5414 them unto his piecesH5409, and unto his headH7218. {unto: or, upon}
And thou shalt burnH6999 the whole ramH352 upon the altarH4196: it is a burnt offeringH5930 unto the LORDH3068: it is a sweetH5207 savourH7381, an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068.
And thou shalt takeH3947 the otherH8145 ramH352; and AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall putH5564 their handsH3027 upon the headH7218 of the ramH352.
Then shalt thou killH7819 the ramH352, and takeH3947 of his bloodH1818, and putH5414 it upon the tipH8571 of the right earH241 of AaronH175, and upon the tipH8571 of the rightH3233 earH241 of his sonsH1121, and upon the thumbH931 of their rightH3233 handH3027, and upon the great toeH931 of their rightH3233 footH7272, and sprinkleH2236 the bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196 round aboutH5439.
And thou shalt takeH3947 of the bloodH1818 that is upon the altarH4196, and of the anointingH4888 oilH8081, and sprinkleH5137 it upon AaronH175, and upon his garmentsH899, and upon his sonsH1121, and upon the garmentsH899 of his sonsH1121 with him: and he shall be hallowedH6942, and his garmentsH899, and his sonsH1121, and his sons'H1121 garmentsH899 with him.
Also thou shalt takeH3947 of the ramH352 the fatH2459 and the rumpH451, and the fatH2459 that coverethH3680 the inwardsH7130, and the caulH3508 above the liverH3516, and the twoH8147 kidneysH3629, and the fatH2459 that is upon them, and the rightH3225 shoulderH7785; for it is a ramH352 of consecrationH4394:
And oneH259 loafH3603 of breadH3899, and oneH259 cakeH2471 of oiledH8081 bread, and oneH259 waferH7550 out of the basketH5536 of the unleavened breadH4682 that is beforeH6440 the LORDH3068:
And thou shalt putH7760 all in the handsH3709 of AaronH175, and in the handsH3709 of his sonsH1121; and shalt waveH5130 them for a wave offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {shalt wave: or, shalt shake to and fro}
And thou shalt receiveH3947 them of their handsH3027, and burnH6999 them upon the altarH4196 for a burnt offeringH5930, for a sweetH5207 savourH7381 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: it is an offering made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068.
And thou shalt takeH3947 the breastH2373 of the ramH352 of Aaron'sH175 consecrationH4394, and waveH5130 it for a wave offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and it shall be thy partH4490.
And thou shalt sanctifyH6942 the breastH2373 of the wave offeringH8573, and the shoulderH7785 of the heave offeringH8641, which is wavedH5130, and which is heaved upH7311, of the ramH352 of the consecrationH4394, even of that whichH834 is for AaronH175, and of that which is for his sonsH1121:
And it shall be Aaron'sH175 and his sons'H1121 by a statuteH2706 for everH5769 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: for it is an heave offeringH8641: and it shall be an heave offeringH8641 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 of the sacrificeH2077 of their peace offeringsH8002, even their heave offeringH8641 unto the LORDH3068.
And the holyH6944 garmentsH899 of AaronH175 shall be his sons'H1121 afterH310 him, to be anointedH4888 therein, and to be consecratedH4390+H3027 in them.
And that sonH1121 that is priestH3548 in his stead shall putH3847 them on sevenH7651 daysH3117, when he comethH935 into the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 to ministerH8334 in the holyH6944 place. {that son: Heb. he of his sons}
And thou shalt takeH3947 the ramH352 of the consecrationH4394, and seetheH1310 his fleshH1320 in the holyH6918 placeH4725.
And AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of the ramH352, and the breadH3899 that is in the basketH5536, by the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And they shall eatH398 those things wherewith the atonement was madeH3722, to consecrateH4390+H3027 and to sanctifyH6942 them: but a strangerH2114 shall not eatH398 thereof, because they are holyH6944.
And if ought of the fleshH1320 of the consecrationsH4394, or of the breadH3899, remainH3498 unto the morningH1242, then thou shalt burnH8313 the remainderH3498 with fireH784: it shall not be eatenH398, because it is holyH6944.
And thus shalt thou doH6213 unto AaronH175, and to his sonsH1121, according to all things which I have commandedH6680 thee: sevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou consecrateH4390+H3027 them.
And thou shalt offerH6213 every dayH3117 a bullockH6499 for a sin offeringH2403 for atonementH3725: and thou shalt cleanseH2398 the altarH4196, when thou hast made an atonementH3722 for it, and thou shalt anointH4886 it, to sanctifyH6942 it.
SevenH7651 daysH3117 thou shalt make an atonementH3722 for the altarH4196, and sanctifyH6942 it; and it shall be an altarH4196 most holyH6944+H6944: whatsoever touchethH5060 the altarH4196 shall be holyH6942.
And their chargeH4931 shall be the arkH727, and the tableH7979, and the candlestickH4501, and the altarsH4196, and the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944 wherewith they ministerH8334, and the hangingH4539, and all the serviceH5656 thereof.
For the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 him out of all thy tribesH7626, to standH5975 to ministerH8334 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, him and his sonsH1121 for everH3117.
And the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 shall come nearH5066; for them the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath chosenH977 to ministerH8334 unto him, and to blessH1288 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; and by their wordH6310 shall every controversyH7379 and every strokeH5061 be tried: {word: Heb. mouth}
And he putH7760 the mitreH4701 upon his headH7218; also upon the mitreH4701, even upon his forefrontH6440+H4136, did he putH7760 the goldenH2091 plateH6731, the holyH6944 crownH5145; as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
And when AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 have made an endH3615 of coveringH3680 the sanctuaryH6944, and all the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944, as the campH4264 is to set forwardH5265; afterH310 that, the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 shall comeH935 to bearH5375 it: but they shall not touchH5060 any holy thingH6944, lest they dieH4191. These things are the burdenH4853 of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
My sonsH1121, be not now negligentH7952: for the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 you to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, to serveH8334 him, and that ye should ministerH8334 unto him, and burn incenseH6999. {be not…: or, be not now deceived} {burn…: or, offer sacrifice}
And AaronH175 lifted upH5375 his handH3027 toward the peopleH5971, and blessedH1288 them, and came downH3381 from offeringH6213 of the sin offeringH2403, and the burnt offeringH5930, and peace offeringsH8002.
But the LevitesH3881 after the tribeH4294 of their fathersH1 were not numberedH6485 amongH8432 them.
For the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
Only thou shalt not numberH6485 the tribeH4294 of LeviH3878, neither takeH5375 the sumH7218 of them amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
But thou shalt appointH6485 the LevitesH3881 over the tabernacleH4908 of testimonyH5715, and over all the vesselsH3627 thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bearH5375 the tabernacleH4908, and all the vesselsH3627 thereof; and they shall ministerH8334 unto it, and shall encampH2583 round aboutH5439 the tabernacleH4908.
And when the tabernacleH4908 setteth forwardH5265, the LevitesH3881 shall take it downH3381: and when the tabernacleH4908 is to be pitchedH2583, the LevitesH3881 shall set it upH6965: and the strangerH2114 that cometh nighH7131 shall be put to deathH4191.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall pitch their tentsH2583, every manH376 by his own campH4264, and every manH376 by his own standardH1714, throughout their hostsH6635.
But the LevitesH3881 shall pitchH2583 round aboutH5439 the tabernacleH4908 of testimonyH5715, that there be no wrathH7110 upon the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the LevitesH3881 shall keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the tabernacleH4908 of testimonyH5715.
Lift upH5375 your handsH3027 in the sanctuaryH6944, and blessH1288 the LORDH3068. {the sanctuary: or, holiness}
SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175 and unto his sonsH1121, sayingH559, On this wiseH3541 ye shall blessH1288 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559 unto them,
The LORDH3068 blessH1288 thee, and keepH8104 thee:
The LORDH3068 make his faceH6440 shineH215 upon thee, and be graciousH2603 unto thee:
The LORDH3068 lift upH5375 his countenanceH6440 upon thee, and giveH7760 thee peaceH7965.
These also are the generationsH8435 of AaronH175 and MosesH4872 in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 with MosesH4872 in mountH2022 SinaiH5514.
And these are the namesH8034 of the sonsH1121 of AaronH175; NadabH5070 the firstbornH1060, and AbihuH30, EleazarH499, and IthamarH385.
These are the namesH8034 of the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, the priestsH3548 which were anointedH4886, whom he consecratedH4390+H3027 to minister in the priest's officeH3547. {whom…: Heb. whose hand he filled}
And NadabH5070 and AbihuH30 diedH4191 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, when they offeredH7126 strangeH2114 fireH784 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, in the wildernessH4057 of SinaiH5514, and they had no childrenH1121: and EleazarH499 and IthamarH385 ministered in the priest's officeH3547 in the sightH6440 of AaronH175 their fatherH1.
And they brought upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and all the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 that were in the tabernacleH168, even those did the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 bring upH5927.
Ye that standH5975 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, in the courtsH2691 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430,
Then the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 aroseH6965 and blessedH1288 the peopleH5971: and their voiceH6963 was heardH8085, and their prayerH8605 cameH935 up to his holyH6944 dwelling placeH4583, even unto heavenH8064. {his holy…: Heb. the habitation of his holiness}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696 unto AaronH175, and sayH559 unto him, When thou lightestH5927 the lampsH5216, the sevenH7651 lampsH5216 shall give lightH215 over againstH6440+H4136 the candlestickH4501.
And AaronH175 didH6213 so; he lightedH5927 the lampsH5216 thereof over againstH4136+H6440 the candlestickH4501, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
And this workH4639 of the candlestickH4501 was of beatenH4749 goldH2091, unto the shaftH3409 thereof, unto the flowersH6525 thereof, was beaten workH4749: according unto the patternH4758 which the LORDH3068 had shewedH7200 MosesH4872, so he madeH6213 the candlestickH4501.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and cleanseH2891 them.
And thus shalt thou doH6213 unto them, to cleanseH2891 them: SprinkleH5137 waterH4325 of purifyingH2403 upon them, and let them shaveH8593+H5674 all their fleshH1320, and let them washH3526 their clothesH899, and so make themselves cleanH2891. {let them shave…: Heb. let them cause a razor to pass over, etc}
Then let them takeH3947 a youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499 with his meat offeringH4503, even fine flourH5560 mingledH1101 with oilH8081, and anotherH8145 youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499 shalt thou takeH3947 for a sin offeringH2403.
And thou shalt bringH7126 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and thou shalt gatherH6950 the whole assemblyH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 togetherH6950:
And thou shalt bringH7126 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall putH5564 their handsH3027 upon the LevitesH3881:
And AaronH175 shall offerH5130 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 for an offeringH8573 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they may executeH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068. {offer: Heb. wave} {offering: Heb. wave offering} {they…: Heb. they may be to execute, etc}
And the LevitesH3881 shall layH5564 their handsH3027 upon the headsH7218 of the bullocksH6499: and thou shalt offerH6213 the oneH259 for a sin offeringH2403, and the otherH259 for a burnt offeringH5930, unto the LORDH3068, to make an atonementH3722 for the LevitesH3881.
And thou shalt setH5975 the LevitesH3881 beforeH6440 AaronH175, and beforeH6440 his sonsH1121, and offerH5130 them for an offeringH8573 unto the LORDH3068.
Thus shalt thou separateH914 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the LevitesH3881 shall be mine.
And afterH310 that shall the LevitesH3881 go inH935 to do the serviceH5647 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and thou shalt cleanseH2891 them, and offerH5130 them for an offeringH8573.
For they are wholly givenH5414 unto me from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; instead of such as openH6363 every wombH7358, even instead of the firstbornH1060 of all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, have I takenH3947 them unto me.
For all the firstbornH1060 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 are mine, both manH120 and beastH929: on the dayH3117 that I smoteH5221 every firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 I sanctifiedH6942 them for myself.
And I have takenH3947 the LevitesH3881 for all the firstbornH1060 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And I have givenH5414 the LevitesH3881 as a giftH5414 to AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and to make an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: that there be no plagueH5063 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 come nighH5066 unto the sanctuaryH6944. {a gift: Heb. given}
And MosesH4872, and AaronH175, and all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, didH6213 to the LevitesH3881 according unto all that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 concerning the LevitesH3881, so didH6213 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 unto them.
And the LevitesH3881 were purifiedH2398, and they washedH3526 their clothesH899; and AaronH175 offeredH5130 them as an offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; and AaronH175 made an atonementH3722 for them to cleanseH2891 them.
And afterH310 that wentH935 the LevitesH3881 in to doH5647 their serviceH5656 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 beforeH6440 AaronH175, and beforeH6440 his sonsH1121: as the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 concerning the LevitesH3881, so didH6213 they unto them.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
This is it that belongeth unto the LevitesH3881: from twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605 they shall go inH935 to waitH6633+H6635 upon the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: {to…: Heb. to war the warfare of, etc}
And from the ageH1121 of fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 they shall ceaseH7725 waitingH6635 upon the serviceH5656 thereof, and shall serveH5647 no more: {cease…: Heb. return from the warfare of the service}
But shall ministerH8334 with their brethrenH251 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, to keepH8104 the chargeH4931, and shall doH5647 no serviceH5656. Thus shalt thou doH6213 unto the LevitesH3881 touching their chargeH4931.
And the priestsH3548 brought inH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 unto his placeH4725, into the oracleH1687 of the houseH1004, to the mostH6944 holyH6944 place, even under the wingsH3671 of the cherubimsH3742.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, If thou returnH7725, then will I bring thee againH7725, and thou shalt standH5975 beforeH6440 me: and if thou take forthH3318 the preciousH3368 from the vileH2151, thou shalt be as my mouthH6310: let them returnH7725 unto thee; but returnH7725 not thou unto them.
Seemeth it but a small thingH4592 unto you, that the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath separatedH914 you from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, to bring you nearH7126 to himself to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068, and to standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 to ministerH8334 unto them?
And saidH559 unto them, Ye are the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the LevitesH3881: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, both ye and your brethrenH251, that ye may bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto the place that I have preparedH3559 for it.
For because ye did it not at the firstH7223, the LORDH3068 our GodH430 made a breachH6555 upon us, for that we soughtH1875 him not after the due orderH4941.
So the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 sanctifiedH6942 themselves to bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And the childrenH1121 of the LevitesH3881 bareH5375 the arkH727 of GodH430 upon their shouldersH3802 with the stavesH4133 thereon, as MosesH4872 commandedH6680 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Yet they shall be ministersH8334 in my sanctuaryH4720, having chargeH6486 at the gatesH8179 of the houseH1004, and ministeringH8334 to the houseH1004: they shall slayH7819 the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrificeH2077 for the peopleH5971, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 them to ministerH8334 unto them.
And he hath brought thee nearH7126 to him, and all thy brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 with thee: and seekH1245 ye the priesthoodH3550 also?
And it came to pass, when GodH430 helpedH5826 the LevitesH3881 that bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, that they offeredH2076 sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352.
But the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, the sonsH1121 of ZadokH6659, that keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of my sanctuaryH4720 when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went astrayH8582 from me, they shall come nearH7126 to me to ministerH8334 unto me, and they shall standH5975 beforeH6440 me to offerH7126 unto me the fatH2459 and the bloodH1818, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069:
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AaronH175, Thou and thy sonsH1121 and thy father'sH1 houseH1004 with thee shall bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the sanctuaryH4720: and thou and thy sonsH1121 with thee shall bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of your priesthoodH3550.
And thy brethrenH251 also of the tribeH4294 of LeviH3878, the tribeH7626 of thy fatherH1, bringH7126 thou with thee, that they may be joinedH3867 unto thee, and ministerH8334 unto thee: but thou and thy sonsH1121 with thee shall minister beforeH6440 the tabernacleH168 of witnessH5715.
And they shall keepH8104 thy chargeH4931, and the chargeH4931 of all the tabernacleH168: only they shall not come nighH7126 the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944 and the altarH4196, that neither they, nor ye also, dieH4191.
And they shall be joinedH3867 unto thee, and keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, for all the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168: and a strangerH2114 shall not come nighH7126 unto you.
And ye shall keepH8104 the chargeH4931 of the sanctuaryH6944, and the chargeH4931 of the altarH4196: that there be no wrathH7110 any more upon the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And I, behold, I have takenH3947 your brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: to you they are givenH5414 as a giftH4979 for the LORDH3068, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
Therefore thou and thy sonsH1121 with thee shall keepH8104 your priest's officeH3550 for every thingH1697 of the altarH4196, and withinH1004 the vailH6532; and ye shall serveH5647: I have givenH5414 your priest's officeH3550 unto you as a serviceH5656 of giftH4979: and the strangerH2114 that cometh nighH7131 shall be put to deathH4191.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto AaronH175, Behold, I also have givenH5414 thee the chargeH4931 of mine heave offeringsH8641 of all the hallowed thingsH6944 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; unto thee have I givenH5414 them by reason of the anointingH4888, and to thy sonsH1121, by an ordinanceH2706 for everH5769.
This shall be thine of the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944, reserved from the fireH784: every oblationH7133 of theirs, every meat offeringH4503 of theirs, and every sin offeringH2403 of theirs, and every trespass offeringH817 of theirs, which they shall renderH7725 unto me, shall be mostH6944 holyH6944 for thee and for thy sonsH1121.
In the mostH6944 holyH6944 place shalt thou eatH398 it; every maleH2145 shall eatH398 it: it shall be holyH6944 unto thee.
And this is thine; the heave offeringH8641 of their giftH4976, with all the wave offeringsH8573 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: I have givenH5414 them unto thee, and to thy sonsH1121 and to thy daughtersH1323 with thee, by a statuteH2706 for everH5769: every one that is cleanH2889 in thy houseH1004 shall eatH398 of it.
All the bestH2459 of the oilH3323, and all the bestH2459 of the wineH8492, and of the wheatH1715, the firstfruitsH7225 of them which they shall offerH5414 unto the LORDH3068, them have I givenH5414 thee. {best: Heb. fat}
And whatsoever is first ripeH1061 in the landH776, which they shall bringH935 unto the LORDH3068, shall be thine; every one that is cleanH2889 in thine houseH1004 shall eatH398 of it.
Every thing devotedH2764 in IsraelH3478 shall be thine.
Every thing that openethH6363 the matrixH7358 in all fleshH1320, which they bringH7126 unto the LORDH3068, whether it be of menH120 or beastsH929, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstbornH1060 of manH120 shalt thou surelyH6299 redeemH6299, and the firstlingH1060 of uncleanH2931 beastsH929 shalt thou redeemH6299.
And those that are to be redeemedH6299 from a monthH2320 oldH1121 shalt thou redeemH6299, according to thine estimationH6187, for the moneyH3701 of fiveH2568 shekelsH8255, after the shekelH8255 of the sanctuaryH6944, which is twentyH6242 gerahsH1626.
But the firstlingH1060 of a cowH7794, or the firstlingH1060 of a sheepH3775, or the firstlingH1060 of a goatH5795, thou shalt not redeemH6299; they are holyH6944: thou shalt sprinkleH2236 their bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196, and shalt burnH6999 their fatH2459 for an offering made by fireH801, for a sweetH5207 savourH7381 unto the LORDH3068.
And the fleshH1320 of them shall be thine, as the waveH8573 breastH2373 and as the rightH3225 shoulderH7785 are thine.
All the heave offeringsH8641 of the holy thingsH6944, which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 offerH7311 unto the LORDH3068, have I givenH5414 thee, and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 with thee, by a statuteH2706 for everH5769: it is a covenantH1285 of saltH4417 for everH5769 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 unto thee and to thy seedH2233 with thee.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto AaronH175, Thou shalt have no inheritanceH5157 in their landH776, neither shalt thou have any partH2506 amongH8432 them: I am thy partH2506 and thine inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And, behold, I have givenH5414 the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 all the tenthH4643 in IsraelH3478 for an inheritanceH5159, forH2500 their serviceH5656 which they serveH5647, even the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
Neither must the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 henceforthH5750 come nighH7126 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, lest they bearH5375 sinH2399, and dieH4191. {and die: Heb. to die}
But the LevitesH3881 shall doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and they shall bearH5375 their iniquityH5771: it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 throughout your generationsH1755, that amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 they haveH5157 no inheritanceH5159.
But the tithesH4643 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which they offerH7311 as an heave offeringH8641 unto the LORDH3068, I have givenH5414 to the LevitesH3881 to inheritH5159: therefore I have saidH559 unto them, AmongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 they shall haveH5157 no inheritanceH5159.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
Thus speakH1696 unto the LevitesH3881, and sayH559 unto them, When ye takeH3947 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the tithesH4643 which I have givenH5414 you from them for your inheritanceH5159, then ye shall offerH7311 up an heave offeringH8641 of it for the LORDH3068, even a tenthH4643 part of the titheH4643.
And this your heave offeringH8641 shall be reckonedH2803 unto you, as though it were the cornH1715 of the threshingfloorH1637, and as the fulnessH4395 of the winepressH3342.
Thus ye also shall offerH7311 an heave offeringH8641 unto the LORDH3068 of all your tithesH4643, which ye receiveH3947 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and ye shall giveH5414 thereof the LORD'SH3068 heave offeringH8641 to AaronH175 the priestH3548.
Out of all your giftsH4979 ye shall offerH7311 every heave offeringH8641 of the LORDH3068, of all the bestH2459 thereof, even the hallowed partH4720 thereof out of it. {best: Heb. fat}
Therefore thou shalt sayH559 unto them, When ye have heavedH7311 the bestH2459 thereof from it, then it shall be countedH2803 unto the LevitesH3881 as the increaseH8393 of the threshingfloorH1637, and as the increaseH8393 of the winepressH3342. {best: Heb. fat}
And ye shall eatH398 it in every placeH4725, ye and your householdsH1004: for it is your rewardH7939 forH2500 your serviceH5656 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And ye shall bearH5375 no sinH2399 by reason of it, when ye have heavedH7311 from it the bestH2459 of it: neither shall ye polluteH2490 the holy thingsH6944 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, lest ye dieH4191.
And also unto the LevitesH3881; they shall no more carryH5375 the tabernacleH4908, nor any vesselsH3627 of it for the serviceH5656 thereof.
OrG1535 ministryG1248, let us wait onG1722 our ministeringG1248: orG1535 he that teachethG1321, onG1722 teachingG1319;
YeG5210 haveG1586 notG3756 chosenG1586 meG3165, butG235 IG1473 have chosenG1586 youG5209, andG2532 ordainedG5087 youG5209, thatG2443 yeG5210 should goG5217 andG2532 bring forthG5342 fruitG2590, andG2532 that yourG5216 fruitG2590 should remainG3306: thatG2443 whatsoeverG3739+G302+G3748 ye shall askG154 of the FatherG3962 inG1722 myG3450 nameG3686, he may give itG1325 youG5213.
AsG1161 theyG846 ministeredG3008 to the LordG2962, andG2532 fastedG3522, the HolyG40 GhostG4151 saidG2036+G1211, SeparateG873 meG3427+G5037 BarnabasG921 andG2532 SaulG4569 forG1519 the workG2041 whereuntoG3739 I have calledG4341 themG846.
And they brought upH5927 the arkH727, and the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and all the holyH6944 vesselsH3627 that were in the tabernacleH168, these did the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 bring upH5927.
PaulG3972, a servantG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, calledG2822 to be an apostleG652, separatedG873 untoG1519 the gospelG2098 of GodG2316,
