Numbers 3

1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

Hae 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; 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 which 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 And 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: and 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 And the LORD spake unto 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 unto him.

Applica tribum Levi, et fac stare in conspectu Aaron sacerdotis ut ministrent ei, et excubent,

7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge 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 And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

et custodiant vasa tabernaculi, servientes in ministerio eius.

9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him on the behalf of the children of Israel.

Dabisque dono Levitas

10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood: and the stranger that cometh nigh 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 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth 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 smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shall be; 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 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai, dicens:

15 Number the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

Numera filios Levi per domos patrum suorum et familias, omnem masculum ab uno mense, et supra.

16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.

Numeravit Moyses, ut praeceperat Dominus,

17 And these were 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.

Filii Gerson: Lebni et Semei.

19 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

Filii Caath: Amram et Iesaar, Hebron et Oziel.

20 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.

Filii Merari: Moholi et Musi.

21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

De Gerson fuere familiae duae, Lebnitica, et Semeitica:

22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

quarum numeratus est populus sexus masculini ab uno mense et supra, septem millia quingenti.

23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.

Hi post tabernaculum metabuntur ad Occidentem

24 And the prince of the fathers’ house of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

sub principe Eliasaph filio Lael.

Et habebunt excubias in tabernaculo foederis,

26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

ipsum tabernaculum et operimentum eius, tentorium quod trahitur ante fores tecti foederis, et cortinas atrii: tentorium quoque quod appenditur in introitu atrii tabernaculi, et quidquid ad ritum altaris pertinet, funes tabernaculi et omnia utensilia eius.

27 And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

Cognatio Caath habebit populos Amramitas et Iesaaritas et Hebronitas et Ozielitas. Hae sunt familiae Caathitarum recensitae per nomina sua:

28 According to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

omnes generis masculini ab uno mense et supra, octo millia sexcenti habebunt excubias Sanctuarii,

29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.

et castrametabuntur ad meridianam plagam.

30 And the prince of the fathers’ house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

Princepsque eorum erit Elisaphan filius Oziel:

31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the screen, and all the service thereof.

et custodient arcam, mensamque et candelabrum, altaria et vasa Sanctuarii, in quibus ministratur, et velum, cunctamque huiuscemodi supellectilem.

32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

Princeps autem principum Levitarum Eleazar filius Aaron sacerdotis, erit super excubitores custodiae Sanctuarii.

33 Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.

At vero de Merari erunt populi Moholitae et Musitae recensiti per nomina sua:

34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.

omnes generis masculini ab uno mense et supra, sex millia ducenti.

35 And the prince of the fathers’ house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: they shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.

Princeps eorum Suriel filius Abihaiel: in plaga septentrionali castrametabuntur.

36 And the appointed charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the instruments thereof, and all the service thereof;

Erunt sub custodia eorum tabulae tabernaculi et vectes, et columnae ac bases earum, et omnia quae ad cultum huiuscemodi pertinent:

37 and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.

columnaeque atrii per circuitum cum basibus suis, et paxilli cum funibus.

38 And those that pitch before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrising, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

Castrametabuntur ante tabernaculum foederis, idest ad orientalem plagam, Moyses et Aaron cum filiis suis, habentes custodiam Sanctuarii in medio filiorum Israel. quisquis alienus accesserit, morietur.

39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and 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 And the LORD said unto Moses, Number 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 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle 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 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

Recensuit Moyses, sicut praeceperat Dominus, primogenitos filiorum Israel.

43 And all the firstborn males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.

et fuerunt masculi per nomina sua, a mense uno et supra, viginti duo millia ducenti septuaginta tres.

44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn 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.

Tolle Levitas pro primogenitis filiorum Israel, et pecora Levitarum pro pecoribus eorum, eruntque Levitae mei. ego sum Dominus.

46 And for the redemption of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are over and above [the number of] the Levites,

In pretio autem ducentorum septuaginta trium, qui excedunt numerum Levitarum de primogenitis filiorum Israel,

47 thou shalt take five shekels apiece by the poll; after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs):

accipies quinque siclos per singula capita ad mensuram Sanctuarii. Siclus habet viginti obolos.

48 and thou shalt give the money wherewith the odd number of them is redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons.

Dabisque pecuniam Aaron et filiis eius pretium eorum qui supra sunt.

49 And Moses took the redemption-money from them that were over and above them that 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 took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary:

pro primogenitis filiorum Israel, mille trecentorum sexagintaquinque siclorum iuxta pondus Sanctuarii,

51 and Moses gave the redemption-money unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

et dedit eam Aaron et filiis eius iuxta verbum quod praeceperat sibi Dominus.
