Part 4

04:002:029 Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.

04:002:030 And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.

04:002:031 All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan were an hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall go hindmost with their standards.

04:002:032 These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the camps throughout their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

04:002:033 But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

04:002:034 And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their fathers.

04:003:001 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

04:003:002 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

04:003:003 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

04:003:004 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 sight of Aaron their father.

04:003:005 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:003:006 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.

04:003:007 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.

04:003:008 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

04:003:009 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.

04:003:010 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

04:003:011 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

04:003:012 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;

04:003:013 Because all the firstborn are mine; for 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 shall they be: I am the LORD.

04:003:014 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

04:003:015 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

04:003:016 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.

04:003:017 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

04:003:018 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.

04:003:019 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

04:003:020 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.

04:003:021 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

04:003:022 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.
