Numbers 3
1 And these [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day of YHWH’s speaking with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Hæ sunt generationes Aaron et Moysi in die qua locutus est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai.
2 And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar;
Et hæc nomina filiorum Aaron: primogenitus eius Nadab, deinde Abiu, et Eleazar, et Ithamar.
3 these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whose hand he has consecrated for acting as priest.
Hæc nomina filiorum Aaron sacerdotum qui uncti sunt, et quorum repletæ et consecratæ manus ut sacerdotio fungerentur.
4 And Nadab dies—Abihu also—before YHWH, in their bringing strange fire near before YHWH, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they did not have sons; and Eleazar—Ithamar also—acts as priest in the presence of their father Aaron.
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 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and you have caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,
Applica tribum Levi, et fac stare in conspectu Aaron sacerdotis ut ministrent ei, et excubent,
7 and kept his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the Dwelling Place;
et observent quidquid ad cultum pertinet multitudinis coram tabernaculo testimonii,
8 and they have kept all the vessels of the Tent of Meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the Dwelling Place;
et custodiant vasa tabernaculi, servientes in ministerio eius.
9 and you have given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel.
Dabisque dono Levitas Aaron et filiis eius, quibus traditi sunt a filiis Israel.
10 And you appoint Aaron and his sons, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who comes near is put to death.”
Aaron autem et filios eius constitues super cultum sacerdotii. Externus, qui ad ministrandum accesserit, morietur.
11 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
12 “And I, behold, have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every firstborn opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been Mine;
Ego tuli Levitas a filiis Israel pro omni primogenito, qui aperit vulvam in filiis Israel, eruntque Levitæ mei.
13 for every firstborn [is] Mine, in the day of My striking every firstborn in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every firstborn in Israel, from man to beast; they are Mine; I [am] YHWH.”
Meum est enim omne primogenitum: ex quo percussi primogenitos in Terra Ægypti: sanctificavi mihi quidquid primum nascitur in Israel ab homine usque ad pecus, mei sunt: ego Dominus.
14 And YHWH speaks to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai, dicens:
15 “Number the sons of Levi by the house of their fathers, by their families; every male from a son of a month and upward—you number them.”
Numera filios Levi per domos patrum suorum et familias, omnem masculum ab uno mense, et supra.
16 And Moses numbers them according to the command of YHWH, as he has been commanded.
Numeravit Moyses, ut præceperat Dominus,

38 And those encamping before the Dwelling Place eastward, before the Tent of Meeting, at the east, [are] Moses and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the sons of Israel, and the stranger who comes near is put to death.
Castrametabuntur ante tabernaculum fœderis, id est, ad orientalem plagam, Moyses et Aaron cum filiis suis, habentes custodiam Sanctuarii in medio filiorum Israel. Quisquis alienus accesserit, morietur.

Omnes Levitæ, quos numeraverunt Moyses et Aaron iuxta præceptum Domini per familias suas in genere masculino a mense uno et supra, fuerunt viginti duo millia.
40 And YHWH says to Moses, “Number every firstborn male of the sons of Israel from a son of a month and upward, and take up 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 and you have taken the Levites for Me (I [am] YHWH), instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of every firstling among the livestock of the sons of Israel.”
Tollesque Levitas mihi pro omni primogenito filiorum Israel, ego sum Dominus: et pecora eorum pro universis primogenitis pecorum filiorum Israel.
42 And Moses numbers, as YHWH has commanded him, all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.

45 “Take the Levites instead of every firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites have been Mine; I [am] YHWH.
Tolle Levitas pro primogenitis filiorum Israel, et pecora Levitarum pro pecoribus eorum, eruntque Levitæ mei. Ego sum Dominus.
46 And [from] those ransomed of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, who are more than the Levites,
In pretio autem ducentorum septuaginta trium, qui excedunt numerum Levitarum de primogenitis filiorum Israel,
