STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 וְאֵלֶּה תֹּולְדֹת אַהֲרֹן וּמֹשֶׁה בְּיֹום דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶת־מֹשֶׁה בְּהַר סִינָי	1 These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai.
2 וְאֵלֶּה שְׁמֹות בְּנֵי־אַהֲרֹן הַבְּכֹור ׀ נָדָב וַאֲבִיהוּא אֶלְעָזָר וְאִיתָמָר	2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 אֵלֶּה שְׁמֹות בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֲנִים הַמְּשֻׁחִים אֲשֶׁר־מִלֵּא יָדָם לְכַהֵן	3 These the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and whose hands were filled and consecrated in order to exercise the priesthood.
4 וַיָּמָת נָדָב וַאֲבִיהוּא לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּהַקְרִבָם אֵשׁ זָרָה לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּמִדְבַּר סִינַי וּבָנִים לֹא־הָיוּ לָהֶם וַיְכַהֵן אֶלְעָזָר וְאִיתָמָר עַל־פְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן אֲבִיהֶם׃ פ	4 For Nadab and Abihu died without children, when they offered, in the sight of the Lord, a strange fire, in the desert of Sinai. And so, Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the sight of Aaron, their father.
5 וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר	5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
6 הַקְרֵב אֶת־מַטֵּה לֵוִי וְהַעֲמַדְתָּ אֹתֹו לִפְנֵי אַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן וְשֵׁרְתוּ אֹתֹו	6 “Bring forward the tribe of Levi, and cause them to stand in the sight of Aaron the priest, in order to minister to him. And let them keep watch outside,
7 וְשָׁמְרוּ אֶת־מִשְׁמַרְתֹּו וְאֶת־מִשְׁמֶרֶת כָּל־הָעֵדָה לִפְנֵי אֹהֶל מֹועֵד לַעֲבֹד אֶת־עֲבֹדַת הַמִּשְׁכָּן	7 and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,
8 וְשָׁמְרוּ אֶת־כָּל־כְּלֵי אֹהֶל מֹועֵד וְאֶת־מִשְׁמֶרֶת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲבֹד אֶת־עֲבֹדַת הַמִּשְׁכָּן	8 and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.
9 וְנָתַתָּה אֶת־הַלְוִיִּם לְאַהֲרֹן וּלְבָנָיו נְתוּנִם נְתוּנִם הֵמָּה לֹו מֵאֵת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל	9 And you shall give the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons; for they have been delivered to them by the sons of Israel.
10 וְאֶת־אַהֲרֹן וְאֶת־בָּנָיו תִּפְקֹד וְשָׁמְרוּ אֶת־כְּהֻנָּתָם וְהַזָּר הַקָּרֵב יוּמָת׃ פ	10 But you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of priesthood. The outsider who approaches to minister shall be put to death.”
11 וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר	11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 וַאֲנִי הִנֵּה לָקַחְתִּי אֶת־הַלְוִיִּם מִתֹּוךְ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל תַּחַת כָּל־בְּכֹור פֶּטֶר רֶחֶם מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהָיוּ לִי הַלְוִיִּם	12 “I have taken the Levites from the sons of Israel. For the Levites, and all the firstborn who open the womb among the sons of Israel, shall be mine.
13 כִּי לִי כָּל־בְּכֹור בְּיֹום הַכֹּתִי כָל־בְּכֹור בְּאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם הִקְדַּשְׁתִּי לִי כָל־בְּכֹור בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאָדָם עַד־בְּהֵמָה לִי יִהְיוּ אֲנִי יְהוָה׃ ס	13 For every firstborn is mine. From the time that I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified for myself whatever is born first in Israel. From man, even to beast, they are mine. I am the Lord.”
14 וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה בְּמִדְבַּר סִינַי לֵאמֹר	14 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
15 פְּקֹד אֶת־בְּנֵי לֵוִי לְבֵית אֲבֹתָם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם כָּל־זָכָר מִבֶּן־חֹדֶשׁ וָמַעְלָה תִּפְקְדֵם	15 “Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.”
16 וַיִּפְקֹד אֹתָם מֹשֶׁה עַל־פִּי יְהוָה כַּאֲשֶׁר צֻוָּה	16 Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed,
17 וַיִּהְיוּ־אֵלֶּה בְנֵי־לֵוִי בִּשְׁמֹתָם גֵּרְשֹׁון וּקְהָת וּמְרָרִי	17 and there were found the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.

21 לְגֵרְשֹׁון מִשְׁפַּחַת הַלִּבְנִי וּמִשְׁפַּחַת הַשִּׁמְעִי אֵלֶּה הֵם מִשְׁפְּחֹת הַגֵּרְשֻׁנִּי	21 From Gershon were two families: the Libnites, and the Shimeites.
22 פְּקֻדֵיהֶם בְּמִסְפַּר כָּל־זָכָר מִבֶּן־חֹדֶשׁ וָמָעְלָה פְּקֻדֵיהֶם שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים וַחֲמֵשׁ מֵאֹות	22 The people of these were numbered, of the male sex, from one month and above: seven thousand five hundred.

24 וּנְשִׂיא בֵית־אָב לַגֵּרְשֻׁנִּי אֶלְיָסָף בֶּן־לָאֵל	24 under the leader Eliasaph the son of Lael.
25 וּמִשְׁמֶרֶת בְּנֵי־גֵרְשֹׁון בְּאֹהֶל מֹועֵד הַמִּשְׁכָּן וְהָאֹהֶל מִכְסֵהוּ וּמָסַךְ פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מֹועֵד	25 And they shall keep watch over the tabernacle of the covenant:
26 וְקַלְעֵי הֶחָצֵר וְאֶת־מָסַךְ פֶּתַח הֶחָצֵר אֲשֶׁר עַל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן וְעַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ סָבִיב וְאֵת מֵיתָרָיו לְכֹל עֲבֹדָתֹו	26 the tabernacle itself, and its covering; the tent that is drawn before the doors of the covering of the covenant; and the curtains of the atrium; likewise, the tent that is suspended at the entrance of the atrium of the tabernacle; and whatever pertains to the ritual of the altar; the cords of the tabernacle and all its implements.
27 וְלִקְהָת מִשְׁפַּחַת הַעַמְרָמִי וּמִשְׁפַּחַת הַיִּצְהָרִי וּמִשְׁפַּחַת הַחֶבְרֹנִי וּמִשְׁפַּחַת הָעָזִּיאֵלִי אֵלֶּה הֵם מִשְׁפְּחֹת הַקְּהָתִי	27 The kinship of Kohath includes the peoples of the Amramites and Izharites and Hebronites and Uzzielites.

31 וּמִשְׁמַרְתָּם הָאָרֹן וְהַשֻּׁלְחָן וְהַמְּנֹרָה וְהַמִּזְבְּחֹת וּכְלֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר יְשָׁרְתוּ בָּהֶם וְהַמָּסָךְ וְכֹל עֲבֹדָתֹו	31 And they shall take care of the ark, and the table and the lampstand, the altars and the vessels of the Sanctuary, by which they minister, and the veil, and all the articles of this kind.

49 וַיִּקַּח מֹשֶׁה אֵת כֶּסֶף הַפִּדְיֹום מֵאֵת הָעֹדְפִים עַל פְּדוּיֵי הַלְוִיִּם	49 Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites
50 מֵאֵת בְּכֹור בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לָקַח אֶת־הַכָּסֶף חֲמִשָּׁה וְשִׁשִּׁים וּשְׁלֹשׁ מֵאֹות וָאֶלֶף בְּשֶׁקֶל הַקֹּדֶשׁ	50 in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel: one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary.
