were numbered of them, were thirty and five thousand and four hundred.
[24] All that were numbered
of the camp of Ephraim were an hundred thousand and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout
their armies. And they shall go forward in the third rank.
[25] The standard of the camp of Dan shall
be on the north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son
of Ammishaddai.
[26] And his host, and those that were numbered of them, were threescore and two
thousand and seven hundred.
[27] And those that encamp by him shall be the tribe of Asher: and the
captain of the children of Asher shall be Pagiel the son of Ocran.
[28] And his host, and those that were
numbered of them, were forty and one thousand and five hundred.
[29] Then the tribe of Naphtali: and
the captain of the children of Naphtali shall be Ahira the son of Enan.
[30] And his host, and those that
were numbered of them, were fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
[31] 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.
[32] 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.
[33] But the Levites were not
numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[34] 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.
Num.3
[1] These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in
mount Sinai.
[2] And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar,
and 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.
[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 sight of Aaron their father.
[5] And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
[6] Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they
may minister unto him.
[7] 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.
[8] 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.
[9] And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly
given unto him out of the children of Israel.
[10] 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.
[11] And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[12] 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;
[13] 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.
[14] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
[15] 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.
[16] And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as
he was commanded.
[17] And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and
Merari.
[18] And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.
[19]
And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
[20] 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.
[21] Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are
the families of the Gershonites.
[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.
[23] The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.
[24]
And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
[25] And
the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the
tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
[26] And
the hangings of the court, and the curtain 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.
[27] And of Kohath was the family
of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of
