Aaron

and Aaron hath come in unto the tent of meeting, and hath stripped off the linen garments which he had put on in his going in unto the sanctuary, and hath placed them there;

`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel; and thou hast said unto them, This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded, saying,

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto the priests, sons of Aaron, and thou hast said unto them, For any person a priest is not defiled among his people,

`Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring near the bread of his God,

`No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of Jehovah; blemish is in him; the bread of his God he doth not come nigh to bring near.

And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel.

`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I am Jehovah.

`Any man of the seed of Aaron, and is leprous or hath an issue--of the holy things he doth not eat till that he is clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out from him,

`Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a burnt-offering;

at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah continually--a statute age-during to your generations;

and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have eaten it in the holy place, for it is most holy to him, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah--a statute age-during.'

from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host in Israel, ye do number them by their hosts, thou and Aaron;

And Moses taketh--Aaron also--these men, who were defined by name,

These are those numbered, whom Moses numbered--Aaron also, and the princes of Israel, twelve men--each for the house of his fathers, they have been.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

And these are births of Aaron and Moses, in the day of Jehovah's speaking with Moses in mount Sinai.

And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: the first-born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar;

these are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whose hand he hath consecrated for acting as priest.

And Nadab dieth--Abihu also--before Jehovah, in their bringing near strange fire before Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai, and sons they had not; and Eleazar--Ithamar also--acteth as priest in the presence of Aaron their father.

`Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou hast caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,

and thou hast given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel.

`And Aaron and his sons thou dost appoint, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who cometh near is put to death.'

And to the prince of the princes of the Levites, Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, is the oversight of the keepers of the charge of the sanctuary.

And those encamping before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting, at the east, are Moses and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the sons of Israel, and the stranger who cometh near is put to death.

All those numbered of the Levites whom Moses numbered--Aaron also--by the command of Jehovah, by their families, every male from a son of a month and upward, are two and twenty thousand.
