民数记 3
1 耶和华在西奈山晓谕摩西的日子，亚伦和摩西的后代如下：
These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yhwh spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
2 亚伦的儿子，长子名叫拿答，还有亚比户、以利亚撒、以他玛。
And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 这是亚伦儿子的名字，都是受膏的祭司，是摩西叫他们承接圣职供祭司职分的。
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
4 拿答、亚比户在西奈的旷野向耶和华献凡火的时候就死在耶和华面前了。他们也没有儿子。以利亚撒、以他玛在他们的父亲亚伦面前供祭司的职分。
And Nadab and Abihu died before Yhwh, when they offered profane fire before Yhwh, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the sight of Aaron their father.
5 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
6 “你使利未支派近前来，站在祭司亚伦面前好服事他，
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
7 替他和会众在会幕前守所吩咐的，办理帐幕的事。
And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
8 又要看守会幕的器具，并守所吩咐以色列人的，办理帐幕的事。
And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
9 你要将利未人给亚伦和他的儿子，因为他们是从以色列人中选出来给他的。
And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
10 你要嘱咐亚伦和他的儿子谨守自己祭司的职任。近前来的外人必被治死。”
And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
11 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
12 “我从以色列人中拣选了利未人，代替以色列人一切头生的；利未人要归我。
And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
13 因为凡头生的是我的；我在埃及地击杀一切头生的那日就把以色列中一切头生的，连人带牲畜都分别为圣归我；他们定要属我。我是耶和华。”
Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am Yhwh.
14 耶和华在西奈的旷野晓谕摩西说：
And Yhwh spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15 “你要照利未人的宗族、家室数点他们。凡一个月以外的男子都要数点。”
Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
16 于是摩西照耶和华所吩咐的数点他们。
And Moses numbered them according to the word of Yhwh, as he was commanded.
17 利未众子的名字是革顺、哥辖、米拉利。
And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

39 凡被数的利未人，就是摩西、亚伦照耶和华吩咐所数的，按着家室，从一个月以外的男子，共有二万二千名。
All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Yhwh, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
40 耶和华对摩西说：“你要从以色列人中数点一个月以外、凡头生的男子，把他们的名字记下。
And Yhwh said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
41 我是耶和华。你要拣选利未人归我，代替以色列人所有头生的，也取利未人的牲畜代替以色列所有头生的牲畜。”
And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am Yhwh ) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
42 摩西就照耶和华所吩咐的把以色列人头生的都数点了。
And Moses numbered, as Yhwh commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
43 按人名的数目，从一个月以外、凡头生的男子，共有二万二千二百七十三名。
And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
44 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
45 “你拣选利未人代替以色列人所有头生的，也取利未人的牲畜代替以色列人的牲畜。利未人要归我；我是耶和华。
Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am Yhwh.
46 以色列人中头生的男子比利未人多二百七十三个，必当将他们赎出来。
And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;
47 你要按人丁，照圣所的平，每人取赎银五舍客勒（一舍客勒是二十季拉），
Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: ( the shekel is twenty gerahs: )
48 把那多余之人的赎银交给亚伦和他的儿子。”
And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
49 于是摩西从那被利未人所赎以外的人取了赎银。
And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
50 从以色列人头生的所取之银，按圣所的平，有一千三百六十五舍客勒。
Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
51 摩西照耶和华的话把这赎银给亚伦和他的儿子，正如耶和华所吩咐的。
And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of Yhwh, as Yhwh commanded Moses.
