1And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and unto Aharon [Bright, Very High], saying, 2Take the sum of the sons of K’hat [assembly, congregation] from among the sons of Levi (Levite) [Adhesion, Joiner], after their families, by the house of their fathers, 3From 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. 4This [shall be] the service of the sons of K’hat [assembly, congregation] in the tabernacle of the congregation, [about] the most holy things:

5And when the camp sets forward, Aharon [Bright, Very High] shall come, and his sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the ark of testimony with it: 6And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and shall spread over [it] a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the rods (clubs) thereof. 7And upon the table of showbread, 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: 8And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the rods (clubs) thereof. 9And 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, which they minister unto it: 10And they shall put it and all the vessels thereof within a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put [it] upon a bar. 11And 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 rods (clubs) thereof: 12And they shall take all the instruments of ministry, which 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: 13And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon: 14And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof, which they minister about it, [even] the censers, the flesh hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the rods (clubs) of it. 15And when Aharon [Bright, Very High] 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 K’hat [assembly, congregation] 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 K’hat [assembly, congregation] in the tabernacle of the congregation.

16And to the office of El’azar [God has helped] the son of Aharon [Bright, Very High] the priest [pertains] 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 in it [is], in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.

17And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and unto Aharon [Bright, Very High], saying, 18Cut you^2f not off the tribe of the families of the K’hati from among the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to]: 19But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach unto the most holy things: Aharon [Bright, Very High] and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden: 20But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.

21And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], saying, 22Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon [Exile], throughout the houses of their fathers, by their families; 23From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shall youⁱ number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation. 24This [is] the service of the families of the Gershuni [Exiled Ones], to serve, and for burdens: 25And 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, 26And 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. 27At the appointment of Aharon [Bright, Very High] and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershuni [Exiled Ones], in all their burdens, and in all their service: and you^2f shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens. 28This [is] the service of the families of the sons of Gershon [Exile] in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge [shall be] under the hand of Itamar [Coast of Palms] the son of Aharon [Bright, Very High] the priest.

29As for the sons of M’rari [Bitter], youⁱ shall number them after their families, by the house of their fathers; 30From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shall youⁱ number them, every one that enters into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation. 31And 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, 32And 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 you^2f shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden. 33This [is] the service of the families of the sons of M’rari [Bitter], according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Itamar [Coast of Palms] the son of Aharon [Bright, Very High] the priest.

34And Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and Aharon [Bright, Very High] and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the K’hati after their families, and after the house of their fathers, 35From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that enters into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation: 36And those that were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty. 37These [were] they that were numbered of the families of the K’hati, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, which Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and Aharon [Bright, Very High] did number according to the commandment of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) by the hand of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters].

38And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon [Exile], throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers, 39From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that enters into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 40Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred and thirty. 41These [are] they that were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon [Exile], of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and Aharon [Bright, Very High] did number according to the commandment of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

42And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of M’rari [Bitter], throughout their families, by the house of their fathers, 43From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that enters into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of the congregation, 44Even those that were numbered of them after their families, were three thousand and two hundred. 45These [be] those that were numbered of the families of the sons of M’rari [Bitter], whom Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and Aharon [Bright, Very High] numbered according to the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) by the hand of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters].

46All those that were numbered of the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], whom Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] and Aharon [Bright, Very High] and the chief of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers, 47From 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, 48Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and eighty. 49According to the commandment of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) they were numbered by the hand of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters].
