¶ The .iiij. Chapter.
¶ The offyces of the Leuytes, euery one after
the stocke that he came of.
A And the Lorde spake vnto Moses
and Aaron, and bad them
take the summe of the chyldr&ebar;
of Cahath from among þe; sonnes
of Leui, in their kynredes
and houses of their fathers, from .xxx. yere ∧
aboue vntyl fifty, al that were able to warre
for to do the worke in the tabernacle of wytnesse.
Thys shalbe the offyce of the chyldren
of Kahath in the tabernacle of wytnesse whiche
is moost holy. And when the hoste remoueth,
Aaron and his sonnes shal come ∧ take
doune the vayle, and couer the arcke of wytnesse
there wyth, ∧ shall put theron a coueryng
of taxus skynnes, ∧ shal spreide a cloth
that is altogether of iacyncte aboue all, and
put the staues therof in. And vpon the shewe
table, they shal spreide abrode a cloth of iacincte,
and put theron þe; dyshes, spones, flat
peces and pottes to poure wyth, ∧ the dayly
bread shalbe theron: ∧ they shal spreade vp&obar;
them a couerynge of purple, and couer the
same wyth a coueryng of taxus skynnes, ∧
put the staues therof in.
And they shal take a cloth of iacincte ∧ couer
the candelstyck of lyght ∧ her lampes ∧
her snuffers, and fyre p&abar;nes, and al her oyle
vessels which they occupye aboute it, ∧ shal
put vpon her ∧ vpon all her instrumentes, a
coueryng of taxus skynnes, and put it vpon
staues. And vpon the golden alter they shall
sprede a cloth of Iacyncte, and put on her
staues. And they shall take all the thynges
whych they occupye to minystre &wt; in the holy
place, ∧ put a cloth of Iacyncte vp&obar; them
and couer them wyth a couerynge of taxus
skynnes and put them on staues. And they
shall take awaye the asshes out of the alter,
B
and spreyde a scarlet clothe theron: and put
aboute it, the fyre pannes, the flesh hokes,
the shouels, the basens ∧ all that belongeth
vnto the alter, and they shal sprede vpon it
a couerynge of taxus skynnes, ∧ put on the
staues of it. And when Aaron and his sonnes
haue made an ende of coueryng þe; sanctuary
∧ al the thinges of the sanctuarye, agaynst þt;
the hoste remoue, then the sonnes of Cahath
shall come in for to beare, ∧ so let them not
touche þe; sanctuary least they dye. And thys
is þe; charge of the sonnes of Cahath in þe; tabernacle
of wytnesse. And Eleazar the sonne
of Aaron the preast, shall haue the charge to
prepare oyle for the lyghtes ∧ swete incens,
∧ the dayly meatoffrynge ∧ the anoyntynge
oyle, and the ouersyghte of all the dwellyng
and of all that therin is, both ouer the sanctuary
and of al that pertayneth therto.
And the Lord spake vnto Moses ∧ Aar&obar;
sayinge: destroy not the trybe of the kynredes
of the Cahathites, from among the Leuites.
But thus do vnto them that they may
lyue and not dye, when they go vnto the
moost holy place. Aaron and hys sonnes
shal go in and put them euery man vnto his
seruyce and vnto hys burthen. But let them
not go in to se when they couer the sanctuarye,
lest they dye.
C And the Lord spake vnto Moses saying:
Take the summe of the chyldren of Gerson
in the houses of their fathers and in theyr
kynredes: from .xxx. yere and aboue, vntyll
l. all that are able to goo forth in warre, for

And thys is the seruyce of the kynred of the
Gersonites, to serue and to beare. They
shal beare the curtaynes of the dwellyng ∧
the rouffe of the tabernacle of wytnesse and
hys couerynge and the couerynge of taxus
skynnes that is an hye aboue vpon it, and þe;
hangynge of the dore of the tabernacle of
-- --
The offyce

the hangynge of the gate of the court that is
round about the dwellyng and the altare, ∧
the cordes of them, and al the instrumentes
that serue vnto them and al that is made for
them. And at the mouth of Aar&obar; and his sonnes,
shall all the seruyce of the chyldren of
the Gersonites be done, in al their charges,
and in all theyr seruyce, ∧ ye shall appoynte
them vnto all theyr charges, that they shal
wayte vpon. And thys is the seruyce of the
kynred of the chyldren of the Gersonites in
the tabernacle of wytnesse, and their wayte
shalbe in the hand of Ithamar the sonne of
Aaron the preast.
And thou shalt nombre the sonnes of Merari
in their kynredes and in the houses of
their fathers, from .xxx. yeres and aboue

to do the seruyce of the tabernacle of wytnesse.
And thys is the charge that they must
wayte vppon in all that they must serue in
the tabernacle of wytnesse. The bordes of
the dwellynge, and the barres, pyllers, and
sokettes therof, and the pyllers of the court
round about, and their sokettes, pynnes and
cordes, wyth al that pertayneth and serueth
vnto them.
D And by name ye shal reaken the
thynges that they must wayte vp&obar; to beare.
This is the seruyce of the kynredes of the
sonnes of Merari in al theyr seruyce in the
tabernacle of witnesse by þe; h&abar;d of Ithamar
the sonne of Aaron the preast.
And Moses and Aaron and the Princes
of the multitude nombred the sonnes of the
Cahathites in their kynredes and houses of
theyr fathers, from .xxx. yere and aboue vnto
fyftie, al that were able to go forth in the
hoste and to do seruyce in the tabernacle of
witnesse. And the nombre of th&ebar; in theyr kynredes
were two thousande, seuen hundred
and .l. These are the nombres of the kynredes
of the Cahathytes, of al that dyd seruice

and Aaron dyd nombre at the commaundement
of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
And the sonnes of Gerson were nombred
in theyr kynredes and in the houses of theyr
fathers, from .xxx. yere vp vnto fyftye, all

And the nombre of them in theyr kynredes,
and in the houses of theyr fathers, was two
thousand syxe hundred and .xxx. Thys is

Gerson, of all that dyd seruyce in the tabernacle
of wytnesse, whyche Moses and Aar&obar;
dyd nombre at the commaundement of the
Lorde.
And the kynredes of the sonnes of Merari
were nombred in theyr kynredes and in þe;

fyftye: all that were able to go forth wyth

Thys is the nombre of the kynredes of the

The whole summe which Moses, Aaron
and the Lordes of Israell nombred amonge

of their fathers, from .xxx. yere vp vnto .l.
euery man to do hys offyce and seruyce and

was .viij. thousande, fyue hundred and

of the Lorde by the hande of Moses
euery man vnto hys seruyce and burthen: as
the Lord commaunded Moses.
