4 Mosebog 3
1 Følgende var Arons og Moses's Efterkommere, på den Tid HERREN talede på Sinaj Bjerg.
And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, on the day that the Lord spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.
2 Navnene på Arons Sønner var følgende: Nadab, den førstefødte, Abihu, Eleazar og Itamar;
And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Elazar, and Ithamar.
3 det var Navnene på Arons Sønner, de salvede Præster, som indsattes til Præstetjeneste.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, who were consecrated to minister as priests.
4 Men Nadab og Abihu døde for HERRENs Åsyn, da de frembar fremmed Ild for HERRENs Åsyn i Sinaj Ørken, og de havde ingen Sønner. Således kom Eleazar og Itamar til at gøre Præstetjenest: for deres Fader Arons Åsyn.
And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered a strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Elazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the life-time of Aaron their father.
5 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
6 Lad Levis Stamme træde frem og stil dem frem for Præsten Aron, for at de kan gå ham til Hånde.
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present the same before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him.
7 De skal tage Vare på, hvad han og hele Menigheden har at varetage foran Åbenbaringsteltet, og således udføre Arbejdet ved Boligen,
And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
8 og de skal tage Vare på alle Åbenbaringsteltets Redskaber og på, hvad Israeliterne har at varetage, og således udføre Arbejdet ved Boligen.
And they shall keep all the vessels of the tent of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
9 Altså skal du overgive Aron og hans Sønner Leviterne; de er ham overgivet som Gave fra Israeliterne.
And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: as associates are they given unto him out of the children of Israel.
10 Men Aron og hans Sønner skal du sætte til at tage Vare på deres Præstetjeneste; enhver Lægmand, som trænger sig ind deri, skal lide Døden.
And Aaron and his sons shalt thou instruct, that they shall guard well their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
11 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
12 Se, jeg har selv udtaget Leviterne af Israelitternes Midte i Stedet for alt det førstefødte, der åbner Moders Liv hos Israeliterne, og Leviterne er blevet min Ejendom;
And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel instead of every first-born that openeth the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.
13 thi mig tilhører alt det førstefødte. Dengang jeg dræbte alt det førstefødte i Ægypten, helligede jeg mig alt det førstefødte i Israel, både af Mennesker og Dyr; mig HERREN skal de tilhøre.
Because mine is every first-born; on the day when I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me every first-born in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be; I am the Lord.
14 HERREN talede til Moses i Sinaj Ørken og sagde:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15 Du skal mønstre Levis Sønner efter deres Fædrenehuse, efter deres Slægter; alle af Mandkøn fra en Måned og opefter skal du mønstre.
Number the children of Levi after their divisions, by their families; every male of them from a month old and upward shalt thou number.
16 Da mønstrede Moses dem på HERRENs Bud, som der var ham pålagt.

And thou shalt take the Levites for me, I am the Lord, instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the first-born among the cattle of the children of Israel.

Take the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the Lord.
46 Men til Udløsning af de 273, hvormed Antallet af Israelitternes førstefødte overstiger Leviternes Antal,
And [for] those that are to be redeemed, the two hundred and seventy and three of the first-born of the children of Israel, who are more than the Levites,
47 skal du tage fem Sekel for hvert Hoved, efter hellig Vægt skal du tage dem, tyve Gera på en Sekel;
