وَهَذِهِ تَوَالِيدُ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَى يَوْمَ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ. ١ 1
Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron [Light-bringer] and Moses [Drawn out] in the day that Adonai spoke with Moses [Drawn out] in Mount Sinai [Thorn].
وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنِي هَارُونَ: نَادَابُ ٱلْبِكْرُ، وَأَبِيهُو وَأَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ. ٢ 2
These are the names of the sons of Aaron [Light-bringer]: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar [Help of God], and Ithamar.
هَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنِي هَارُونَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلْمَمْسُوحِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَلَأَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ لِلْكَهَانَةِ. ٣ 3
These are the names of the sons of Aaron [Light-bringer], the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
وَلَكِنْ مَاتَ نَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ عِنْدَمَا قَرَّبَا نَارًا غَرِيبَةً أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا بَنُونَ. وَأَمَّا أَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ فَكَهَنَا أَمَامَ هَارُونَ أَبِيهِمَا. ٤ 4
Nadab and Abihu died before Adonai, when they offered strange fire before Adonai, in the wilderness of Sinai [Thorn], and they had no children. Eleazar [Help of God] and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron [Light-bringer] their father.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ٥ 5
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
«قَدِّمْ سِبْطَ لَاوِي وَأَوْقِفْهُمْ قُدَّامَ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَلْيَخْدِمُوهُ. ٦ 6
“Bring the tribe of Levi [United with] near, and set them before Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest, that they may minister to him.
فَيَحْفَظُونَ شَعَائِرَهُ وَشَعَائِرَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ قُدَّامَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَيَخْدِمُونَ خِدْمَةَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، ٧ 7

فَيَحْرُسُونَ كُلَّ أَمْتِعَةِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَحِرَاسَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَخْدِمُونَ خِدْمَةَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ. ٨ 8
They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel [God prevails], to do the service of the tabernacle.
فَتُعْطِي ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ لِهَارُونَ وَلِبَنِيهِ. إِنَّهُمْ مَوْهُوبُونَ لَهُ هِبَةً مِنْ عِنْدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٩ 9
You shall give the Levites [Descendants of United with] to Aaron [Light-bringer] and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel [God prevails].
وَتُوَكِّلُ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ فَيَحْرُسُونَ كَهَنُوتَهُمْ، وَٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتَرِبُ يُقْتَلُ». ١٠ 10
You shall appoint Aaron [Light-bringer] and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood. The stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ١١ 11
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
«وَهَا إِنِّي قَدْ أَخَذْتُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَكُونُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ لِي. ١٢ 12
“Behold, I have taken the Levites [Descendants of United with] from among the children of Israel [God prevails] instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel [God prevails]; and the Levites [Descendants of United with] shall be mine:
لِأَنَّ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ. يَوْمَ ضَرَبْتُ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ قَدَّسْتُ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ. لِي يَكُونُونَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٣ 13
for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel [God prevails], both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am Adonai.”
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ قَائِلًا: ١٤ 14
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] in the wilderness of Sinai [Thorn], saying,

“Count the children of Levi [United with] by their fathers’ houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward.”
