4 Mosebog 4
1 HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
2 Optag blandt Leviterne Tallet på Kehatiterne efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse,
Take the sum of the children of Caath from the midst of the sons of Levi, after their families, according to the houses of their fathers' households;
3 fra Trediveårsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsårsalderen, alle, der skal gøre Tjeneste med' at udføre Arbejde ved Åbenbaringsteltet.
from twenty-five years old and upward until fifty years, every one that goes in to minister, to do all the works in the tabernacle of witness.
4 Kehatiternes Arbejde ved Åbenbaringsteltet skal være med de højhellige Ting.
And these are the works of the sons of Caath in the tabernacle of witness; it is most holy.
5 Når Lejren bryder op, skal Aron og hans Sønner gå ind og tage det indre Forhæng ned og tildække Vidnesbyrdets Ark dermed;
And Aaron and his sons shall go in, when the camp is about to move, and shall take down the shadowing veil, and shall cover with it the ark of the testimony.
6 ovenover skal de lægge et Dække af Tahasjskind og derover igen brede et ensfarvet violet Purpurklæde; derpå skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.
And they shall put on it a cover, even a blue skin, and put on it above a garment all of blue, and shall put the staves through [the rings].
7 Og over Skuebrødsbordet skal de brede et violet Purpurklæde og stille Fadene, Kanderne, Skålene og Krukkerne til Drikofferet derpå, og Brødet, som stadig skal ligge fremme, skal ligge derpå;
And they shall put on the table set forth for shew-bread a cloth all of purple, and the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the vessels with which one offers drink-offerings; and the continual loaves shall be upon it.
8 ovenover skal de brede et karmoisinrødt Klæde og dække dette til med et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpå skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.
And they shall put upon it a scarlet cloth, and they shall cover it with a blue covering of skin, and they shall put the staves into it.
9 Så skal de tage et violet Purpurklæde og dermed tildække Lysestagen, dens Lamper, Sakse, Bakker og alle Oliekrukkerne, de Ting, som bruges ved Betjeningen deraf,
And they shall take a blue covering, and cover the candlestick that gives light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its funnels, and all the vessels of oil with which they minister.
10 og de skal lægge den med alt dens Tilbehør i et Dække af Tahasjskind og så lægge det på Bærebøren.
And they shall put it, and all its vessels, into a blue skin cover; and they shall put it on bearers.
11 Over Guldalteret skal de ligeledes brede et violet Purpurklæde og dække dette til med et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpå skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.
And they shall put a blue cloth for a cover on the golden altar, and shall cover it with a blue skin cover, and put in its staves.
12 Og de skal tage alle Redskaber, som bruges ved Tjenesten i Helligdommen, og lægge dem i et violet Purpurklæde og dække dem til med et Dække af Tahasjskind og lægge dem på Bærebøren.
And they shall take all the instruments of service, with which they minister in the sanctuary: and shall place them in a cloth of blue, and shall cover them with blue skin covering, and put them upon staves.
13 Fremdeles skal de rense Alteret for Aske og brede et rødt Purpurklæde derover
And he shall put the covering on the altar, and they shall cover it with a cloth all of purple.
14 og på det lægge alle Redskaberne, som bruges til Tjenesten derved, Panderne, Gaflerne, Skovlene og Skålene, alle Alterets Redskaber, og derover skal de brede et Dække af Tahasjskind; derpå skal de stikke Bærestængerne ind.
And they shall put upon it all the vessels with which they minister upon it, and the fire-pans, and the flesh-hooks, and the cups, and the cover, and all the vessels of the altar; and they shall put on it a blue cover of skins, and shall put in its staves; and they shall take a purple cloth, and cover the laver and its foot, and they shall put it into a blue cover of skin, and put it on bars.
15 Når så ved Lejrens Opbrud Aron og hans Sønner er færdige med at tilhylle de hellige Ting og alle de hellige Redskaber, skal Kehatiterne træde til og bære dem; men de må ikke røre ved de hellige Ting; thi gør de det, skal de dø. Det er, hvad Kehatiterne skal bære af Åbenbaringsteltet.
And Aaron and his sons shall finish covering the holy things, and all the holy vessels, when the camp begins to move; and afterwards the sons of Caath shall go in to take up [the furniture]; but shall not touch the holy things, lest they die: these shall the sons of Caath bear in the tabernacle of witness.
16 Med Eleazar, Præsten Arons Søn, påhviler Tilsynet med Olien til Lysestagen, den vellugtende Røgelse, det daglige Afgrødeoffer og Salveolien og desuden Tilsynet med hele Boligen og alt, hvad der er deri af hellige Ting og deres Tilbehør.
Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is overseer—the oil of the light, and the incense of composition, and the daily meat-offering and the anointing oil, are his charge; even the oversight of the whole tabernacle, and all things that are in it in the holy place, in all the works.
17 HERREN talede til Moses og Aron og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
18 Sørg for, at Kehatiternes Slægters Stamme ikke udryddes af Leviternes Midte!
Ye shall not destroy the family of Caath from the tribe out of the midst of the Levites.
19 Således skal I forholde eder med dem, for at de kan blive i Live og undgå Døden, når de nærmer sig de højhellige Ting: Aron og hans Sønner skal træde til og anvise hver enkelt af dem, hvad han skal gøre, og hvad han skal bære,
This do ye to them, and they shall live and not die, when they approach the holy of holies: Let Aaron and his sons advance, and they shall place them each in his post for bearing.
20 for at de ikke et eneste Øjeblik skal komme til at se de hellige Ting; thi gør de det, skal de dø.
And [so] they shall by no means go in to look suddenly upon the holy things, and die.
21 HERREN talede til Moses og sagde:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
22 Optag også Tallet på Gersoniterne efter deres Fædrenehuse, efter deres Slægter;
Take the sum of the children of Gedson, and these according to the houses of their lineage, according to their families.
23 fra Trediveårsalderen og opefter til Halvtredsårsalderen skal du mønstre dem, alle, der skal gøre Tjeneste med at udføre Arbejdet ved Åbenbaringsteltet.

24 Dette er Gersoniternes Arbejde, hvad de skal gøre, og hvad de skal bære
This [is] the public service of the family of Gedson, to minister and to bear.
25 De skal bære Boligens Tæpper, Åbenbaringsteltet med dets Dække og Dækket af Tahasjskind ovenover, Forhænget til Åbenbaringsteltets Indgang,
And they shall bear the skins of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of witness, and its veil, and the blue cover that was on it above, and the cover of the door of the tabernacle of witness.
26 Forgårdens Omhæng og Forhænget for Indgangen til Forgården, der er rundt om Boligen og Alteret, dens Teltreb og alle Redskaber, som hører til Arbejdet derved; og alt, hvad der skal gøres derved, skal de udføre.
And all the curtains of the court which were upon the tabernacle of witness, and the appendages, and all the vessels of service that they minister with they shall attend to.
27 Efter Arons og hans Sønners Bud skal Gersoniterne udføre deres Arbejde både med det, de skal bære, og med det, de skal gøre; og I skal anvise dem alt, hvad de skal bære, Stykke for Stykke.
According to the direction of Aaron and his sons shall be the ministry of the sons of Gedson, in all their ministries, and in all their works; and thou shalt take account of them by name in all things borne by them.

This is the service of the sons of Gedson in the tabernacle of witness, and their charge by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
29 Merariterne skal du mønstre efter deres Slægter, efter deres Fædrenehuse;

And these are the charges of the things borne by them according to all their works in the tabernacle of witness: they shall bear the chapiters of the tabernacle, and the bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and the veil, and [there shall be] their sockets, and their pillars, and the curtain of the door of the tabernacle.
32 Pillerne til Forgården, som er rundt om den, med Fodstykker, Pæle og Reb, alle tilhørende Redskaber og alt, hvad der hører til Arbejdet derved; Stykke for Stykke skal I anvise dem alle de Ting, det påhviler dem at bære.
And they shall bear the pillars of the court round about, and [there shall be] their sockets, and [they shall bear] the pillars of the veil of the door of the court, and their sockets and their pins, and their cords, and all their furniture, and all their instruments of service: take ye their number by name, and all the articles of the charge of the things borne by them.
