Chap. III.
The Leuites are a&esset;umed to the seruice of the Tabernacle, 14. numbered
by their seueral families, and their offices distinguished, 45. They are
taken to God in place of the first borne of the children of Israel. The residue
of the first borne, aboue the number of Leuites, are redemed with price.
1 These are the generations of Aaron and Moyses in the
day that our Lord spake to Moyses in Mount Sinai.
2 And these be the names of the sonnes of Aaron: his first
begotten Nadab, then Abiu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.

Leuites taken for the first borne
3 These are the names of the sonnes of Aaron the priests that
were anointed, and whose handes were filled and c&obar;secrated,
to doe the function of priesthood.
4 For Nadab and Abiu
died, when they offered the strange fire in the sight of our
Lord, in the desert of Sinai, without children: and Eleazar
and Ithamar did the function of priesthood in the presence
of Aaron their father.
5 And our Lord spake to moyses,
saying:
6 Bring the tribe of Leui, and make them stand in
the sight of Aaron the priest to minister vnto him, and let
them watch,
7 and obserue whatsoeuer pertaineth to the
seruice of the multitude before the tabernacle of testimonie,
8 and let them keepe the vessel of the tabernacle, seruing in
the ministerie therof.
9 And thou shalt geue the Leuites for
a gift,
10 to Aaron and to his sonnes, to whom they are deliuered
of the children of Israel. But Aaron and his sonnes
thou shalt appoint ouer the seruice of priesthood. noteThe
stranger, that approcheth to minister, shal die.
11 And our
Lord spake to Moyses, saying:
12 I haue taken the Leuites
from the children of Israel, for euerie first borne, that openeth
the matrice among the children of Israel, and the Leuites
shal be mine.
13 For the first borne is mine: since I stroke the
first borne in the Land of Ægypt: I haue sanctified to me
whatsoeuer is first borne in Israel from man vnto beast, they
are mine: I the Lord.
14 And our Lord spake to moyses in
the desert of Sinai, saying:
15 Number the sonnes of Leui by
the houses of their fathers and their families, euerie male
from one moneth and vpward.
16 Moyses numbered, as our
Lord had commanded,
17 and there were found the sonnes of
Leui by their names, Gerson and Caath and Merari.
18 The
sonnes of Gerson: Lebni and Semei.
19 The sonnes of Caath:
Amram, and Iesaar, Hebron and Oziel.
20 The sonnes of
Merari: Moholi and Musi.
21 Of Gerson were two families,

27 The kinred of Caath shal

haue the gard of the Sanctuarie,
29 and shal campe on the

30 And their prince shal be Elizaphan the sonne of
Oziel:
31 and they shal keepe the arke, and table and the candlesticke,
the altars, and the vessel of the Sanctuarie, wherin
the ministration is, and the veile, and al such kind of implementes.
32 And note the prince of the princes of the Leuites, Eliazar,
the sonne of Aaron the priest, shal be ouer them that

38 Before the tabernacle of couenant, that is to say, on
the east side, shal note Moyses and Aaron campe, with note their
sonnes, hauing the custodie of the Sanctuarie, in the middes
of the children of Israel. what stranger soeuer cometh therto,
shal die.
39 Al the Leuites, that Moyses and Aaron numbered
according to the precept of our Lord by their families in the
male kinde from one moneth and vpward, were09Q0151 twentie two
thousand.
40 And our Lord said to Moyses: Number the first
borne of the male sex of the children of Israel, from one moneth
and vpward, and thou shalt haue the summe of them.
41 And thou shalt take the Leuites vnto me for al the first
borne of the children of Israel, I am the Lord: and their cattel
for al the first borne of the cattel of the children of Israel.
42 Moyses reckened, as our Lord had commanded, the first
borne of the children of Israel.
43 and the males by their
names, from one moneth and vpward, were twentie two
thousand two hundred seuentie three.
44 And our Lord spake
to Moyses, saying:
45 Take the Leuites for the first borne of
the children of Israel, and the cattel of the Leuites for their

cattel, and the Leuites shal be mine. I am the Lord.
46 But for
