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 ejus 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 ejus.
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
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 et filiis ejus, quibus traditi sunt a filiis Israël. Aaron autem et filios ejus 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 Israël pro omni primogenito, qui aperit vulvam in filiis Israël, 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 Israël: 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,
17 And these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
et inventi sunt filii Levi per nomina sua, Gerson et Caath et Merari.
18 And these [are] the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.

26 and the hangings of the court, and the veil at the opening of the court, which [is] by the Dwelling Place and by the altar all around, and its cords, to all its service.
ipsum tabernaculum et operimentum ejus, tentorium quod trahitur ante fores tecti fœderis, et cortinas atrii: tentorium quoque quod appenditur in introitu atrii tabernaculi, et quidquid ad ritum altaris pertinet, funes tabernaculi et omnia utensilia ejus.
27 And of Kohath—the family of the Amramite, and the family of the Izharite, and the family of the Hebronite, and the family of the Uzzielite; these are families of the Kohathite.
Cognatio Caath habebit populos Amramitas et Jesaaritas et Hebronitas et Ozielitas. Hæ sunt familiæ Caathitarum recensitæ per nomina sua.
28 In number, all the males, from a son of a month and upward, [are] eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the holy place.
Omnes generis masculini ab uno mense et supra, octo millia sexcenti habebunt excubias sanctuarii,
29 The families of the sons of Kohath encamp southward by the side of the Dwelling Place.
et castrametabuntur ad meridianam plagam.

Princepsque eorum erit Elisaphan filius Oziel:
31 And their charge [is] the Ark, and the table, and the lampstand, and the altars, and the vessels of the holy place with which they serve, and the veil, and all its service.
et custodient arcam, mensamque et candelabrum, altaria et vasa sanctuarii, in quibus ministratur, et velum, cunctamque hujuscemodi supellectilem.
32 And Eleazar son of Aaron the priest [is] the prince of the princes of the Levites, [with] the oversight of the keepers of the charge of the holy place.

36 And the oversight [and] charge of the sons of Merari [are] the boards of the Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all its vessels, and all its service,
Erunt sub custodia eorum tabulæ tabernaculi et vectes, et columnæ ac bases earum, et omnia quæ ad cultum hujuscemodi pertinent:
37 and the pillars of the court all around, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
columnæque atrii per circuitum cum basibus suis, et paxilli cum funibus.
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 Israël. Quisquis alienus accesserit, morietur.
39 All those numbered of the Levites whom Moses numbered—Aaron also—by the command of YHWH, by their families, every male from a son of a month and upward, [are] twenty-two thousand.
Omnes Levitæ, quos numeraverunt Moyses et Aaron juxta 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 Israël 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 Israël: ego sum Dominus: et pecora eorum pro universis primogenitis pecorum filiorum Israël.
42 And Moses numbers, as YHWH has commanded him, all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.
Recensuit Moyses, sicut præceperat Dominus, primogenitos filiorum Israël:
43 And every firstborn male, by the number of names, from a son of a month and upward, of their numbered ones, are twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
et fuerunt masculi per nomina sua, a mense uno et supra, viginti duo millia ducenti septuaginta tres.
44 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
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 Israël, 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 Israël,
47 you have even taken five shekels apiece by the counted head—you take by the shekel of the holy place; the shekel [is] twenty gerahs;
accipies quinque siclos per singula capita ad mensuram sanctuarii (siclus habet viginti obolos):
48 and you have given the money to Aaron and to his sons, whereby those over and above are ransomed.”
dabisque pecuniam Aaron et filiis ejus pretium eorum qui supra sunt.
49 And Moses takes the ransom money from those over and above those ransomed by the Levites;
Tulit igitur Moyses pecuniam eorum, qui fuerant amplius, et quos redemerant a Levitis,
50 he has taken the money from the firstborn of the sons of Israel—one thousand and three hundred and sixty-five, by the shekel of the holy place;
pro primogenitis filiorum Israël, mille trecentorum sexaginta quinque siclorum juxta pondus sanctuarii:
51 and Moses gives the money of those ransomed to Aaron and to his sons, according to the command of YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
et dedit eam Aaron et filiis ejus juxta verbum quod præceperat sibi Dominus.
