16 super quos erit Eleazar filius Aaron sacerdotis, ad cujus curam pertinet oleum ad concinnandas lucernas, et compositionis incensum, et sacrificium, quod semper offertur, et oleum unctionis, et quidquid ad cultum tabernaculi pertinet, omniumque vasorum, quæ in sanctuario sunt.	16 Over them shall be Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to whom belongs the care of the oil to prepare the lamps, and the incense compound, and the sacrifice, which is offered continually, and the oil of unction, and whatever pertains to the service of the tabernacle, and all the vessels that are in the Sanctuary.”

18 Nolite perdere populum Caath de medio Levitarum :	18 “Do not be willing to lose the people of Kohath from the midst of the Levites.

Aaron et filii ejus intrabunt, ipsique disponent opera singulorum, et divident quid portare quis debeat.	19 But do this for them, so that they may live, and so that they may not die by touching the Holies of holies.
