Numbers 3
1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Hae sunt generationes Aaron et Moysi in die qua locutus est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Et haec nomina filiorum Aaron: primogenitus eius Nadab, deinde Abiu, et Eleazar, et Ithamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
Haec nomina filiorum Aaron sacerdotum qui uncti sunt, et quorum repletae et consecratae manus ut sacerdotio fungerentur.
4 Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
Mortui sunt enim Nadab et Abiu cum offerrent ignem alienum in conspectu Domini in deserto Sinai, absque liberis: functique sunt sacerdotio Eleazar et Ithamar coram Aaron patre suo.
5 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
Applica tribum Levi, et fac stare in conspectu Aaron sacerdotis ut ministrent ei, et excubent,
7 They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
et observent quidquid ad cultum pertinet multitudinis coram tabernaculo testimonii,
8 They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
et custodiant vasa tabernaculi, servientes in ministerio eius.
9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Dabisque dono Levitas
10 You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood, but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
Aaron et filiis eius, quibus traditi sunt a filiis Israel. Aaron autem et filios eius constitues super cultum sacerdotii. Externus, qui ad ministrandum accesserit, morietur.
11 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
12 “Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine,
Ego tuli Levitas a filiis Israel pro omni primogenito, qui aperit vulvam in filiis Israel, eruntque Levitae mei.
13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am the LORD.”
Meum est enim omne primogenitum: ex quo percussi primogenitos in Terra Aegypti: sanctificavi mihi quidquid primum nascitur in Israel ab homine usque ad pecus, mei sunt: ego Dominus.
14 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai, dicens:
15 “Count the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward.”
Numera filios Levi per domos patrum suorum et familias, omnem masculum ab uno mense, et supra.
16 Moses counted them according to the LORD’s word, as he was commanded.
Numeravit Moyses, ut praeceperat Dominus,
17 These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
et inventi sunt filii Levi per nomina sua, Gerson et Caath et Merari.

39 All who were counted of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
Omnes Levitae, quos numeraverunt Moyses et Aaron iuxta praeceptum Domini per familias suas in genere masculino a mense uno et supra, fuerunt viginti duo millia.
40 The LORD said to Moses, “Count all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
Et ait Dominus ad Moysen: Numera primogenitos sexus masculini de filiis Israel ab uno mense et supra, et habebis summam eorum.
41 You shall take the Levites for me—I am the LORD—instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel.”
Tollesque Levitas mihi pro omni primogenito filiorum Israel, ego sum Dominus: et pecora eorum pro universis primogenitis pecorum filiorum Israel.
42 Moses counted, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Recensuit Moyses, sicut praeceperat Dominus, primogenitos filiorum Israel.
43 All the firstborn males according to the number of names from a month old and upward, of those who were counted of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
et fuerunt masculi per nomina sua, a mense uno et supra, viginti duo millia ducenti septuaginta tres.
44 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
45 “Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am the LORD.
Tolle Levitas pro primogenitis filiorum Israel, et pecora Levitarum pro pecoribus eorum, eruntque Levitae mei. ego sum Dominus.
46 For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites,
In pretio autem ducentorum septuaginta trium, qui excedunt numerum Levitarum de primogenitis filiorum Israel,
47 you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; according to the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
accipies quinque siclos per singula capita ad mensuram Sanctuarii. Siclus habet viginti obolos.
48 and you shall give the money, with which their remainder is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons.”
Dabisque pecuniam Aaron et filiis eius pretium eorum qui supra sunt.
49 Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
Tulit igitur Moyses pecuniam eorum, qui fuerant amplius, et quos redemerat a Levitis
50 from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary;
pro primogenitis filiorum Israel, mille trecentorum sexagintaquinque siclorum iuxta pondus Sanctuarii,
