< عَدَد 4 >
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ: | ١ 1 |
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
| «أَحْصِيَا بَنِي قَهَاتَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَبْنَاءِ لاوِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، | ٢ 2 |
“Write down the names of the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi.
| مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ لِخِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | ٣ 3 |
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. These will be men who will work at the Sacred Tent.
| وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْخِدْمَةُ الَّتِي تُوْكَلُ إِلَى بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ: قُدْسُ الأَقْدَاسِ. | ٤ 4 |
“The work of these descendants of Kohath will be [to take care of] the sacred items [that are used when the people worship] at the Sacred Tent.
| عِنْدَ وَقْتِ الرَّحِيلِ، يَأْتِي هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ وَيُنْزِلُونَ الحِجَابَ الْفَاصِلَ، وَيُغَطُّونَ بِهِ تَابُوتَ الشَّهَادَةِ، | ٥ 5 |
When you Israelis move to another location, Aaron and his sons must enter the tent to take down the curtain that separates the Very Holy Place from the other part of the Sacred Tent. They must cover the sacred chest with that curtain.
| وَيَضَعُونَ فَوْقَهُ غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيَبْسُطُونَ فَوْقَهُ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ ثُمَّ يَضَعُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهَا. | ٦ 6 |
Then they must cover that with a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Over that they must spread a blue cloth. Then they must insert into the rings on the chest the poles [for carrying it].
| وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَى مَائِدَةِ خُبْزِ الْوُجُوهِ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ وَيَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِ الصِّحَافَ وَالصُّحُونَ وَالْكُئوسَ وَالأَبَارِيقَ الَّتِي تُسْكَبُ بِها الْقَرَابِينُ، وَيَكُونُ الْخُبْزُ الدَّائِمُ مَوْجُوداً عَلَيْهِ، | ٧ 7 |
“Then they must put a blue cloth over the table on which the priests put the sacred bread. On top of the cloth they must put the bowls [for incense], the pans, the other dishes, the jars for [the wine that will be] offered as a sacrifice, and the sacred bread.
| ثُمَّ يُغَطُّونَهَا بِثَوْبٍ أَحْمَرِ اللَّوْنِ وَيَضَعُونَ فَوْقَهَا غِطَاءً مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ وَيُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهَا فِي حَلَقَاتِهَا. | ٨ 8 |
Over all of this they must spread a scarlet/red cloth. Finally, they must put on top a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into the [rings at the corners of] the tables the poles [for carrying it].
| وَيُغَطُّونَ أَيْضاً الْمَنَارَةَ وَسُرُجَهَا وَمَلاقِطَهَا وَمَنَافِضَهَا، وَسَائِرَ آنِيَةِ زَيْتِهَا الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا، بِثَوْبٍ أَزْرَقَ. | ٩ 9 |
“Then with another blue cloth they must cover the lampstand, the lamps, the lamp snuffers, the trays, and the special jars of [olive] oil [to burn in the lamps].
| وَيَلُفُّونَهَا مَعَ جَمِيعِ أَوَانِيهَا بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى حَمَّالَةٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
They must cover the lampstand and all the other items with a nice covering made from the skins of goats. They must place all these things on a frame for carrying them.
| وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِ الذَّهَبِ ثَوْباً أَزْرَقَ وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، وَيُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
“Then they must spread another blue cloth over the gold altar [which is used for burning] incense. Over this they must spread a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into [the rings of] that altar the poles for carrying it.
| وَكَذَلِكَ يَلُفُّونَ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِي الْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا فِي الْقُدْسِ بِثَوْبٍ أَزْرَقَ وَيُغَطُّونَهَا بِغِطَاءٍ مِنَ الدَّلْفِينِ وَيَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى حَمَّالَةٍ | ١٢ 12 |
“They must take all the other items that are inside the Sacred Tent and wrap them in a blue cloth, cover that with a nice covering made from the skins of goats, and place all that on a frame for carrying it.
| وَيَرْفَعُونَ رَمَادَ الْمَذْبَحِ وَيَبْسُطُونَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْباً مِنْ قُمَاشٍ بَنَفْسَجِيٍّ، | ١٣ 13 |
“Then they must remove the ashes from the altar [on which they have burned sacrifices]. Then they must cover the altar with a purple cloth.
| وَيَضَعُونَ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعَ أَوَانِيهِ الَّتِي يَسْتَعْمِلُونَهَا، الْمَجَامِرَ وَالْمَنَاشِلَ وَالرُّفُوشَ وَالْمَنَاضِحَ، كُلَّ أَوَانِي الْمَذْبَحِ، وَيُغَطُّونَهُ بِغِطَاءٍ مِنْ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ، ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُونَ عِصِيَّهُ فِي حَلَقَاتِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then they must spread on top of the cloth all the items used at the altar—the pans [for carrying the hot coals], the meat forks, the shovels, the bowls [for containing the blood to sprinkle on the people], and all the other containers. Then they must spread over all those things a nice covering made from the skins of goats. Then they must insert into [the rings at the sides of] the altar the poles [for carrying it].
| وَحَالَمَا يَنْتَهِي هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ مِنْ تَغْطِيَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَجَمِيعِ آنِيَتِهِ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ ارْتِحَالِ الْمُخَيَّمِ، يُقْبِلُ بَنُو قَهَاتَ لِيَحْمِلُوهَا. وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَمَسُّوا الأَشْيَاءَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ لِئَلّا يَمُوتُوا. هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ فِي حَمْلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | ١٥ 15 |
“Then Aaron and his sons have finished covering all these sacred things, the Israeli people will be ready to move [to a new location]. The descendants of Kohath must come and carry all the sacred things to [the next place] where you Israelis will set up your tents. But the descendants of Kohath must not touch any of these sacred items, because they will [immediately] die [if they touch them]. They are the ones who will carry these things, [but they must not touch them].
| وَيَكُونُ أَلِعَازَارُ بْنُ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ مَسْؤولاً عَنْ زَيْتِ الإِنَارَةِ، وَعَنِ الْبَخُورِ الْعَطِرِ، وَتَقْدِمَةِ الدَّقِيقِ الْيَوْمِيَّةِ وَدُهْنِ الْمَسْحَةِ وَعَنْ سَائِرِ الْمَسْكَنِ وَمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُدْسِ وَأَوَانِيهِ». | ١٦ 16 |
“Aaron’s son Eleazar will have the work of taking care of the [olive] oil for the lamps, the nice-smelling incense, the grain which will be burned on the altar each day, and the [olive] oil for anointing [the priests]. Eleazar is the one who will supervise the work that is done at the Sacred Tent and the men who take care of everything that is in it.”
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ: | ١٧ 17 |
“Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
| «احْرِصَا أَلّا يَنْقَرِضَ فَرْعُ عَشَائِرِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ اللّاوِيِّينَ، | ١٨ 18 |
“When the descendants of Kohath approach the sacred items in the Sacred Tent [to take them to another location], Aaron and his sons must always go in with them and show each of them what work to do and what things to carry. But the descendants of Kohath must not enter the Sacred Tent [at any other time] and look at the things that are in it. If they do that, I will get rid of all the descendants of Kohath.”
| بَلِ اعْمَلا هَذَا التَّرْتِيبَ فَيَعِيشُوا وَلا يَمُوتُوا عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى قُدْسِ الأَقْدَاسِ. يَدْخُلُ مَعَهُمْ هَرُونُ وَأَبْنَاؤُهُ وَيُعَيِّنُونَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ خِدْمَتَهُ وَحِمْلَهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
| وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاهُمْ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا لِمُشَاهَدَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَلَوْ لِلَحْظَةٍ، لِئَلّا يَهْلِكُوا». | ٢٠ 20 |
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: | ٢١ 21 |
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
| «أَحْصِ عَدَدَ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ أَيْضاً حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ وَعَشَائِرِهِمْ، | ٢٢ 22 |
“Write down the names of all the men who belong to the clans descended from the Gershon [division of the descendants of Levi].
| مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.
| وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الخَدَمَاتُ الَّتِي تُوْكَلُ إِلَى عَشَائِرِ الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ وَحَمْلٍ: | ٢٤ 24 |
“This is the work that they must do and the things that they must carry [when you move to a new location]:
| يَحْمِلُونَ شُقَقَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَخَيْمَةَ الاجْتِمَاعِ وَغِطَاءَهَا وَغِطَاءَ جِلْدِ الدَّلْفِينِ الَّذِي فَوْقَهَا، وَسِتَارَ مَدْخَلِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
They must carry the curtains of the Sacred Tent; they must carry the Sacred Tent and all the things that cover it, including the nice outer covering made from skins of goats, and the curtain which is at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
| وَأَسْتَارَ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِالْمَسْكَنِ وَالْمَذْبَحِ، وَسِتَارَةَ الْمَدْخَلِ وَالْحِبَالَ وَالأَوَانِي الْمُسْتَخْدَمَةَ فِي خِدْمَتِهَا. وَيُؤَدِّي الْجَرْشُونِيُّونَ جَمِيعَ الْخِدْمَاتِ الْوَاجِبَةِ لَهَا. | ٢٦ 26 |
They must also carry the curtains that form the wall that surrounds the courtyard that surrounds the Sacred Tent and the altar, the curtain that is at the entrance to the courtyard, and the ropes [that fasten the curtains]. They must also do the packing and loading of these things.
| وَيَجِبُ أَنْ يَقُومُوا بِخِدْمَتِهِمْ، سَوَاءٌ أَكَانَتْ خِدْمَةَ نَقْلٍ أَمْ أَيَّ عَمَلٍ آخَرَ، تَحْتَ إِشْرَافِ هَرُونَ وَأَبْنَائِهِ. وَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُعَيِّنَ لَهُمْ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَمْلُهُ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Aaron and his sons will supervise the work of all the descendants of Gershom. That work includes carrying those things and doing other work that is necessary for moving them. They must tell each of the descendants of Gershom what things they must carry.
| هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ عَشَائِرِ الْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، وَيَكُونُ إِيثَامَارُ بْنُ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ هُوَ الْمُشْرِفُ عَلَى تَأْدِيَةِ وَاجِبَاتِهِمْ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Those are the tasks that you must give to the men who belong to the clans descended from Gershom. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise their work.
| وَتُحْصِي بَنِي مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، | ٢٩ 29 |
Count also the men who belong to the clans descended from Levi’s son Merari.
| مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ حَتَّى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Write the names of the men who are between 30 and 50 years old. They will be men who will also work at the Sacred Tent.
| وَتَكُونُ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ خِدْمَتِهِمْ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ نَقْلَ أَلْوَاحِ الْمَسْكَنِ وَعَوَارِضِهِ وَأَعْمِدَتِهِ وَقَوَاعِدِهِ، | ٣١ 31 |
Their work will be to carry the frames that hold up the tent, the crossbars, the posts [that hold up the curtains], and the bases.
| وَأَعْمِدَةِ السَّاحَةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ وَقَوَاعِدِهَا وَأَوْتَادِهَا وَحِبَالِهَا وَأَوَانِيهَا وَكُلِّ مَا يَتَّصِلُ بِخِدْمَتِهَا. وَحَدِّدُوا بِالتَّفْصِيلِ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ حَمْلُهُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
They must also carry the posts for [the curtains that form the walls of] the courtyard and the bases for the posts, the tent pegs, and the ropes [to fasten the curtains]. Tell each man what things he must carry.
| هَذِهِ هِيَ مَسْؤولِيَّةُ عَشَائِرِ الْمَرَارِيِّينَ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ بِها فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ تَحْتَ إِشْرَافِ إِيثَامَارَ بْنِ هَرُونَ الْكَاهِنِ». | ٣٣ 33 |
Those are the tasks that the descendants of Merari must do at the Sacred Tent. Aaron’s son Ithamar is the one who will supervise them.”
| فَأَحْصَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الشَّعْبِ جُمْلَةَ أَبْنَاءِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، | ٣٤ 34 |
So Aaron and Moses/I and the Israeli leaders counted the descendants of Kohath, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
| مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ إِلَى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | ٣٥ 35 |
They/We counted all the men who were between 30 and 50 years old who were able to work at the Sacred Tent.
| فَكَانَتْ جُمْلَةُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنْهُمْ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ أَلْفَيْنِ وَسَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ. | ٣٦ 36 |
The total was 2,750 men.
| هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُحْصَوْنَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ الْقَهَاتِيِّينَ الْخَادِمِينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى. | ٣٧ 37 |
They were the descendants of Kohath who [were able to] work at the Sacred Tent. Aaron and Moses/I counted them just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
| وَتَمَّ إِحْصَاءُ جُمْلَةِ أَبْنَاءِ جَرْشُونَ حَسَب عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، | ٣٨ 38 |

The total was 2,630 men.
| هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُحْصَوْنَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ الْخَادِمِينَ فِي خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ. | ٤١ 41 |
They were the descendants of Gershon who [were able to] work at the Sacred Tent. Aaron and Moses/I counted them as Yahweh had commanded.
| وَتَمَّ إِحْصَاءُ جُمْلَةِ بَنِي مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ، | ٤٢ 42 |
They/We also counted the descendants of Merari, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.
| مِنِ ابْنِ ثَلاثِينَ سَنَةً فَمَا فَوْقُ إِلَى ابْنِ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً، مِنَ الْمُتَجَنِّدِينَ فِي خِدْمَةِ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ. | ٤٣ 43 |

The total was 3,200 men.
| هَؤُلاءِ هُمُ الْمُحْصَوْنَ مِنْ عَشَائِرِ بَنِي مَرَارِي الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ الَّربِّ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى. | ٤٥ 45 |
They were the descendants of Merari who [were able to] work. Aaron and Moses/I counted them as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
| فَكَانَ مَجْمُوعُ الْمُحْصَيْنَ مِنَ اللّاوِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ أَحْصَاهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ. | ٤٦ 46 |
So Aaron and Moses/I and the Israeli leaders counted all the descendants of Levi, writing also the names of their clans and family groups.

The total was 8,580 men.
| وَكَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى تَمَّ تَعْيِينُ كُلِّ لاوِيٍّ عَلَى خِدْمَتِهِ وَتَحْدِيدُ مَا يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِ حَمْلُهُ. وَهَكَذَا تَمَّ إِحْصَاؤُهُمْ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى. | ٤٩ 49 |
They/We completed the counting [of all the descendants of Levi], as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me. And they/we told each man what work he was to do and what things he must carry [when they moved to a new location].
