⁵⁰ and thou, appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all that it hath; they bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels, and they serve it; and round about the tabernacle they encamp.

⁵¹ `And in the journeying of the tabernacle, the Levites take it down, and in the encamping of the tabernacle, the Levites raise it up; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.'

⁵² And the sons of Israel have encamped, each by his camp, and each by his standard, by their hosts;

⁷ and kept his charge, and the charge of all the company before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle;

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 tabernacle;

⁹ and thou hast given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel.

¹⁰ `And Aaron and his sons thou dost appoint, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who cometh near is put to death.'

¹¹ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

¹² `And I, lo, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every first-born opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been Mine;

¹³ for Mine [is] every first-born, in the day of My smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every first-born in Israel, from man unto beast; Mine they are; I [am] Jehovah.'

³⁹ All those numbered of the Levites whom Moses numbered -- Aaron also -- by the command of Jehovah, by their families, every male from a son of a month and upward, [are] two and twenty thousand.

⁴⁰ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Number every first-born male of the sons of Israel from a son of a month and upward, and take up the number of their names;

⁴¹ and thou hast taken the Levites for Me (I [am] Jehovah), instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of every firstling among the cattle of the sons of Israel.'

⁴² And Moses numbereth, as Jehovah hath commanded him, all the first-born among the sons of Israel.

⁴³ And all the first-born -- male -- by the number of names, from a son of a month and upward, of their numbered ones, are two and twenty thousand two hundred and seventy and three.

⁴⁴ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

⁴⁵ `Take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites have been Mine; I [am] Jehovah.

⁴⁶ `And [from] those ransomed of the two hundred and seventy and three (who are more than the Levites) of the first-born of the sons of Israel,

⁴⁷ thou hast even taken five shekels a-piece by the poll -- by the shekel of the sanctuary thou takest; twenty gerahs the shekel [is];

⁴⁸ and thou hast given the money to Aaron, and to his sons, whereby those over and above are ransomed.'

⁴⁹ And Moses taketh the ransom money from those over and above those ransomed by the Levites;

⁵⁰ from the first-born of the sons of Israel he hath taken the money, a thousand and three hundred and sixty and five -- by the shekel of the sanctuary;

⁵¹ and Moses giveth the money of those ransomed to Aaron, and to his sons, according to the command of Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
