Numeri, chapter 4, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 4 Vulgate

   1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron dicens:
   2 "Tolle summam filiorum Caath de medio Levitarum per familias et domos suas
   3 a tricesimo anno et supra usque ad quinquagesimum annum omnium, qui ingrediuntur, ut stent et ministrent in tabernaculo conventus.
   4 Hic est cultus filiorum Caath in tabernaculo conventus: sanctum sanctorum.
   5 Ingredientur Aaron et filii eius, quando movenda sunt castra, et deponent velum, quod pendet ante fores, involventque eo arcam testimonii;
   6 et operient rursum velamine pellium delphini extendentque desuper pallium totum hyacinthinum et inducent vectes.
   7 Mensam quoque propositionis involvent hyacinthino pallio et ponent cum ea acetabula et phialas, cyathos et crateras ad liba fundenda; panes semper in ea erunt.
   8 Extendentque desuper pallium coccineum, quod rursum operient velamento pellium delphini et inducent vectes.
   9 Sument et pallium hyacinthinum, quo operient candelabrum cum lucernis et forcipibus suis et emunctoriis et cunctis vasis olei, quae ad concinnandas lucernas necessaria sunt;
   10 et super omnia ponent operimentum pellium delphini et ponent super feretrum.
   11 Nec non et altare aureum involvent hyacinthino vestimento et extendent desuper operimentum pellium delphini et inducent vectes.
   12 Omnia vasa, quibus ministratur in sanctuario, involvent hyacinthino pallio; et extendent desuper operimentum pellium delphini ponentque super feretrum.
   13 Sed et altare mundabunt cinere et involvent illud purpureo vestimento;
   14 ponentque super illud omnia vasa, quibus in ministerio eius utuntur, id est ignium receptacula, fuscinulas ac vatilla et pateras. Cuncta vasa altaris operient simul velamine pellium delphini et inducent vectes.
   15 Cumque involverint Aaron et filii eius sanctuarium et omnia vasa eius in commotione castrorum, tunc intrabunt filii Caath, ut portent involuta, et non tangent sanctuarium, ne moriantur. Ista sunt onera filiorum Caath in tabernaculo conventus.
   16 Ad curam Eleazari filii Aaron sacerdotis pertinet oleum ad concinnandas lucernas et gratissimum incensum et oblatio, quae semper offertur, et oleum unctionis et quidquid ad cultum habitaculi pertinet omniumque vasorum, quae in sanctuario sunt"
   17 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron dicens:
   18 "Nolite perdere populum Caath de medio Levitarum,
   19 sed hoc facite eis, ut vivant et non moriantur, quando appropinquant ad sancta sanctorum: Aaron et filii eius intrabunt ipsique disponent opera singulorum et divident quid portare quis debeat.
   20 Non intrabunt ad videndum, nec puncto quidem, sanctuarium; alioquin morientur"
   21 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:
   22 "Tolle summam etiam filiorum Gerson per domos ac familias et cognationes suas;
   23 a triginta annis et supra usque ad annos quinquaginta numera omnes, qui ingrediuntur et ministrant in tabernaculo conventus.
   24 Hoc est officium familiarum Gersonitarum,
   25 ut portent cortinas habitaculi, tabernaculum conventus, operimentum eius et super illud velamen delphini velumque, quod pendet in introitu tabernaculi conventus,
   26 cortinas atrii et velum in introitu atrii, quod est circa habitaculum et altare, funiculos et vasa ministerii, omnia, quae facta sunt, ut eis laborent.
   27 Iubente Aaron et filiis eius, portabunt filii Gerson, et scient singuli cui debeant oneri mancipari.
   28 Hic est cultus familiarum Gersonitarum in tabernaculo conventus; eruntque sub manu Ithamar filii Aaron sacerdotis.
   29 Filios quoque Merari per familias et domos patrum suorum recensebis
   30 a triginta annis et supra usque ad annos quinquaginta, omnes, qui ingrediuntur ad officium ministerii sui et cultum tabernaculi conventus.
   31 Haec sunt onera eorum: portabunt tabulas habitaculi et vectes eius, columnas ac bases earum,
   32 columnas quoque atrii per circuitum cum basibus et paxillis et funibus suis; omnia vasa et supellectilem ad numerum accipient sicque portabunt.
   33 Hoc est officium familiarum Meraritarum et ministerium in tabernaculo conventus; eruntque sub manu Ithamar filii Aaron sacerdotis"
   34 Recensuerunt igitur Moyses et Aaron et principes synagogae filios Caath per cognationes et domos patrum suorum
   35 a triginta annis et supra usque ad annum quinquagesimum, omnes, qui ingrediuntur ad ministerium tabernaculi conventus;
   36 et inventi sunt duo milia septingenti quinquaginta.
   37 Hic est numerus familiarum Caath, qui ministrant in tabernaculo conventus: hos numeravit Moyses et Aaron iuxta sermonem Domini per manum Moysi.
   38 Numerati sunt et filii Gerson per cognationes et domos patrum suorum
   39 a triginta annis et supra usque ad quinquagesimum annum, omnes, qui ingrediuntur, ut ministrent in tabernaculo conventus;
   40 et inventi sunt secundum familias et domus patrum suorum duo milia sescenti triginta.
   41 Hic est numerus Gersonitarum, omnes, qui ministrant in tabernaculo conventus, quos numeraverunt Moy ses et Aaron iuxta verbum Domini.
   42 Numeratae sunt et familiae filiorum Merari per cognationes et domos patrum suorum
   43 a triginta annis et supra usque ad annum quinquagesimum, omnes, qui ingrediuntur ad explendos ritus tabernaculi conventus;
   44 et inventi sunt tria milia ducenti.
   45 Hic est numerus familiarum filiorum Merari, quos recensuerunt Moyses et Aaron iuxta imperium Domini per manum Moysi.
   46 Omnes, qui recensiti sunt de Levitis et quos recenseri fecit ad nomen Moyses et Aaron et principes Israel per cognationes et domos patrum suorum
   47 a triginta annis et supra usque ad annum quinquagesimum ingredientes ad ministerium tabernaculi et onera portanda in tabernaculo conventus,
   48 fuerunt simul octo milia quingenti octoginta.
   49 Iuxta verbum Domini per manum Moysi recensuit eos unumquemque iuxta officium et onera sua, sicut praeceperat ei Dominus.

King James Version

   1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
   2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
   3 From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
   4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:
   5 ¶ And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering vail, and cover the ark of testimony with it:
   6 And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over it a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves thereof.
   7 And upon the table of shewbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put thereon the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and covers to cover withal: and the continual bread shall be thereon:
   8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the staves thereof.
   9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his snuffdishes, and all the oil vessels thereof, wherewith they minister unto it:
   10 And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put it upon a bar.
   11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the staves thereof:
   12 And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put them on a bar:
   13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:
   14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, wherewith they minister about it, even the censers, the fleshhooks, and the shovels, and the basons, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.
   15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.
   16 ¶ And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.
   17 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
   18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
   19 But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
   20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.
   21 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   22 Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families;
   23 From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
   24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens:
   25 And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
   26 And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and all that is made for them: so shall they serve.
   27 At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
   28 This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
   29 ¶ As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
   30 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,
   32 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
   33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
   34 ¶ And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
   35 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation:
   36 And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
   37 These were they that were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
   38 And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon, throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,
   39 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
   40 Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty.
   41 These are they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment of the LORD.
   42 ¶ And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,
   43 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation,
   44 Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred.
   45 These be those that were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
   46 All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers,
   47 From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation,
   48 Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.
   49 According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses.
