The Wilderness Years

These are those numbered of the families of the Kohathite, every one who is serving in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, by the command of Jehovah, by the hand of Moses.

And those numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their families, and by the house of their fathers,

from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years, every one who is going in to the host, for service in the tent of meeting,

even their numbered ones, by their families, by the house of their fathers, are two thousand and six hundred and thirty.

These are those numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, every one who is serving in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by the command of Jehovah.

And those numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by the house of their fathers,

from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years, every one who is going in to the host, for service in the tent of meeting,

even their numbered ones, by their families, are three thousand and two hundred.

These are those numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, by the command of Jehovah, by the hand of Moses.

All those numbered, whom Moses numbered--Aaron also, and the princes of Israel--of the Levites, by their families, and by the house of their fathers,

from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years, every one who is going in to do the work of the service, even the service of burden in the tent of meeting,

even their numbered ones are eight thousand and five hundred and eighty;

by the command of Jehovah hath one numbered them, by the hand of Moses, each man by his service, and by his burden, with his numbered ones, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

from male unto female ye do send out; unto the outside of the camp ye do send them; and they defile not their camps in the midst of which I do tabernacle.'

And the sons of Israel do so, and they send them out unto the outside of the camp; as Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses so have the sons of Israel done.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, Man or woman, when they do any of the sins of man, by committing a trespass against Jehovah, and that person is guilty,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When any man's wife turneth aside, and hath committed against him a trespass,
