وَهَذِهِ تَوَالِيدُ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَى يَوْمَ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ. ١ 1
These are some of the things that happened to Aaron and Moses/me when Yahweh spoke to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain.
وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنِي هَارُونَ: نَادَابُ ٱلْبِكْرُ، وَأَبِيهُو وَأَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ. ٢ 2
Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
هَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ بَنِي هَارُونَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ ٱلْمَمْسُوحِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَلَأَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ لِلْكَهَانَةِ. ٣ 3
They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be priests.
وَلَكِنْ مَاتَ نَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ عِنْدَمَا قَرَّبَا نَارًا غَرِيبَةً أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا بَنُونَ. وَأَمَّا أَلِعَازَارُ وَإِيثَامَارُ فَكَهَنَا أَمَامَ هَارُونَ أَبِيهِمَا. ٤ 4
But, while Yahweh was watching, Nadab and Abihu died in the Sinai Desert because they burned [incense] in a manner that was different from what Yahweh had commanded. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar were the [only] sons of Aaron who [were left to be] priests, along with their father Aaron.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ٥ 5
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
«قَدِّمْ سِبْطَ لَاوِي وَأَوْقِفْهُمْ قُدَّامَ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَلْيَخْدِمُوهُ. ٦ 6
“Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may assist him.
فَيَحْفَظُونَ شَعَائِرَهُ وَشَعَائِرَ كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ قُدَّامَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَيَخْدِمُونَ خِدْمَةَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ، ٧ 7
They will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
فَيَحْرُسُونَ كُلَّ أَمْتِعَةِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، وَحِرَاسَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَخْدِمُونَ خِدْمَةَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ. ٨ 8
They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
فَتُعْطِي ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ لِهَارُونَ وَلِبَنِيهِ. إِنَّهُمْ مَوْهُوبُونَ لَهُ هِبَةً مِنْ عِنْدِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٩ 9
Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
وَتُوَكِّلُ هَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ فَيَحْرُسُونَ كَهَنُوتَهُمْ، وَٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتَرِبُ يُقْتَلُ». ١٠ 10
Appoint Aaron and his two sons to do the work that priests do. But anyone else who comes close to the Sacred Tent [to do that work] must be executed.”
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ١١ 11
Yahweh also told Moses/me,
«وَهَا إِنِّي قَدْ أَخَذْتُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَيَكُونُ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ لِي. ١٢ 12
“Note that from all the Israelis, I have chosen the men of the tribe of Levi to take the places of all the firstborn sons of the Israeli people. The male descendants of Levi belong to me,
لِأَنَّ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ. يَوْمَ ضَرَبْتُ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ قَدَّسْتُ لِي كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَٱلْبَهَائِمِ. لِي يَكُونُونَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٣ 13
because truly all the firstborn [males] belong to me. That is because on the day that I killed all the firstborn [sons] of the people of Egypt, I [spared] all the firstborn [sons] of the Israelis and set them apart for myself. I also set apart the firstborn [males] of your domestic animals. They belong to me, Yahweh.”
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى فِي بَرِّيَّةِ سِينَاءَ قَائِلًا: ١٤ 14
Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
«عُدَّ بَنِي لَاوِي حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ وَعَشَائِرِهِمْ. كُلَّ ذَكَرٍ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا تَعُدُّهُمْ». ١٥ 15
“Count the male members of the tribe of Levi. Write down their names and the names of their clans and family groups. Count all the males who are at least one month old.”
فَعَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا أُمِرَ. ١٦ 16
So Moses/I counted them, just as Yahweh commanded.
وَكَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنِي لَاوِي بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ: جَرْشُونُ وَقَهَاتُ وَمَرَارِي. ١٧ 17
Levi had [three] sons, whose names were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
وَهَذَانِ ٱسْمَا ٱبْنَيْ جَرْشُونَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمَا: لِبْنِي وَشِمْعِي. ١٨ 18
Gershon had [two] sons: Libni and Shimei. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons.
وَبَنُو قَهَاتَ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: عَمْرَامُ وَيِصْهَارُ وَحَبْرُونُ وَعُزِّيئِيلُ. ١٩ 19
Kohath had [four] sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [four] sons.
وَٱبْنَا مَرَارِي حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمَا: مَحْلِي وَمُوشِي. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ حَسَبَ بُيُوتِ آبَائِهِمْ. ٢٠ 20
Merari had [two] sons: Mahli and Mushi. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons. Those are the clans that were descended from Levi.
لِجَرْشُونَ عَشِيرَةُ ٱللِّبْنِيِّينَ وَعَشِيرَةُ ٱلشِّمْعِيِّينَ. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ. ٢١ 21
The two clans descended from Gershon are those that were descended from [his sons] Libni and Shimei.
ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا، ٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعَةُ آلَافٍ وَخَمْسُ مِئَةٍ. ٢٢ 22
In those two clans there were 7,500 males who were at least one month old.
عَشَائِرُ ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ يَنْزِلُونَ وَرَاءَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى ٱلْغَرْبِ، ٢٣ 23
They were told to set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent.
وَٱلرَّئِيسُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِي ٱلْجَرْشُونِيِّينَ أَلِيَاسَافُ بْنُ لَايِلَ. ٢٤ 24
The leader of those two clans was Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
وَحِرَاسَةُ بَنِي جَرْشُونَ فِي خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ: ٱلْمَسْكَنُ، وَٱلْخَيْمَةُ وَغِطَاؤُهَا، وَسَجْفُ بَابِ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، ٢٥ 25
Their work was to take care of the Sacred Tent, including the coverings of the tent, the curtain at the entrance of the tent,
وَأَسْتَارُ ٱلدَّارِ وَسَجْفُ بَابِ ٱلدَّارِ ٱللَّوَاتِي حَوْلَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ وَحَوْلَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ مُحِيطًا وَأَطْنَابُهُ مَعَ كُلِّ خِدْمَتِهِ. ٢٦ 26
the (curtains/large pieces of cloth) that formed the walls around the courtyard that is around the tent and around the altar, the curtains that were at the entrance of the courtyard, and the ropes [for fastening the tent]. They also did all the work of taking care of the things outside the Sacred Tent.
وَلِقَهَاتَ عَشِيرَةُ ٱلْعَمْرَامِيِّينَ وَعَشِيرَةُ ٱلْيِصْهَارِيِّينَ وَعَشِيرَةُ ٱلْحَبْرُونِيِّينَ وَعَشِيرَةُ ٱلْعُزِّيئِيلِيِّينَ. هَذِهِ عَشَائِرُ ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ، ٢٧ 27
The clans that were descended from Kohath were those descended from his four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا ثَمَانِيَةُ آلَافٍ وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ حَارِسِينَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلْقُدْسِ. ٢٨ 28
In those four clans there were 8,600 males who were at least one month old. The work of the men of the clans was to take care of [the things that are inside] the Sacred Tent.
وَعَشَائِرُ بَنِي قَهَاتَ يَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى ٱلتَّيْمَنِ، ٢٩ 29
They set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent.
وَٱلرَّئِيسُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِي عَشِيرَةِ ٱلْقَهَاتِيِّينَ أَلِيصَافَانُ بْنُ عُزِّيئِيلَ. ٣٠ 30
The leader of those four clans was Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
وَحِرَاسَتُهُمُ ٱلتَّابُوتُ وَٱلْمَائِدَةُ وَٱلْمَنَارَةُ وَٱلْمَذْبَحَانِ وَأَمْتِعَةُ ٱلْقُدْسِ ٱلَّتِي يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا، وَٱلْحِجَابُ وَكُلُّ خِدْمَتِهِ. ٣١ 31
The work of the men of those clans was to take care of the sacred chest, the table [on which the priest put the sacred bread], the lampstand, the altars, all the items that the priest used in the Sacred Tent, and the curtain that is inside the tent. Their work was also to take care of the things inside the tent.
وَلِرَئِيسِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ أَلِعَازَارَ بْنِ هَارُونَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ وَكَالَةُ حُرَّاسِ حِرَاسَةِ ٱلْقُدْسِ. ٣٢ 32
Aaron’s son Eleazar was the leader of all the male descendants of Levi. He supervised all the work that was done at the Sacred Tent.
وَلِمَرَارِي عَشِيرَةُ ٱلْمَحْلِيِّينَ وَعَشِيرَةُ ٱلْمُوشِيِّينَ. هَذِهِ هِيَ عَشَائِرُ مَرَارِي. ٣٣ 33
The clans that were descended from Merari were those descended from [his sons] Mahli and Mushi.
وَٱلْمَعْدُودُونَ مِنْهُمْ بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ ذَكَرٍ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا سِتَّةُ آلَافٍ وَمِئَتَانِ، ٣٤ 34
In those two clans there were 6,200 males who were at least one month old.
وَٱلرَّئِيسُ لِبَيْتِ أَبِي عَشَائِرِ مَرَارِي صُورِيئِيلُ بْنُ أَبِيَحَايِلَ. يَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ. ٣٥ 35
They were told to set up their tents on the north side of the Sacred Tent. The leader of those two clans was Zuriel, the son of Abihail.
وَوَكَالَةُ حِرَاسَةِ بَنِي مَرَارِي: أَلْوَاحُ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ وَعَوَارِضُهُ وَأَعْمِدَتُهُ وَفُرَضُهُ وَكُلُّ أَمْتِعَتِهِ وَكُلُّ خِدْمَتِهِ، ٣٦ 36
The work of the men of those two clans was to take care of the frames that held up the tent, the crossbars, the pillars, and the bases. They also did all the work that was connected with those items.
وَأَعْمِدَةُ ٱلدَّارِ حَوَالَيْهَا وَفُرَضُهَا وَأَوْتَادُهَا وَأَطْنَابُهَا. ٣٧ 37
Their work was also to take care of the posts [that held up the curtains that formed the walls of] the courtyard, and all the bases, tent pegs, and ropes [that fastened those curtains].
وَٱلنَّازِلُونَ قُدَّامَ ٱلْمَسْكَنِ إِلَى ٱلشَّرْقِ قُدَّامَ خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ، نَحْوَ ٱلشُّرُوقِ، هُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَبَنُوهُ، حَارِسِينَ حِرَاسَةَ ٱلْمَقْدِسِ لِحِرَاسَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱلْأَجْنَبِيُّ ٱلَّذِي يَقْتَرِبُ يُقْتَلُ. ٣٨ 38
Aaron and Moses/I and Aaron’s sons were told to set up their/our tents in the area in front of the Sacred Tent, on the east side. Their/Our work was to supervise the work that would be done in and around the Sacred Tent, for the benefit of the Israeli people. Only the priests were permitted to do that. [Yahweh declared that] we should execute anyone else who went near the tent [to do the work that the priests do].
جَمِيعُ ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ مِنَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ عَدَّهُمْ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ بِعَشَائِرِهِمْ، كُلُّ ذَكَرٍ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا، ٱثْنَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا. ٣٩ 39
When Aaron and Moses/I counted all the males who were at least one month old, who belonged to the clans descended from Levi, the total was 22,000.
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «عُدَّ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ ذَكَرٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا، وَخُذْ عَدَدَ أَسْمَائِهِمْ. ٤٠ 40
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now count all the [other] firstborn males in Israel who are at least one month old, and write down their names.
فَتَأْخُذُ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ لِي. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَبَهَائِمَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَهَائِمِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ». ٤١ 41
Also, set apart for me the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn males of the other Israelis. And set apart for me the livestock of the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the other Israeli people.”
فَعَدَّ مُوسَى كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ كُلَّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٤٢ 42
So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.
فَكَانَ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأَبْكَارِ ٱلذُّكُورِ بِعَدَدِ ٱلْأَسْمَاءِ مِنِ ٱبْنِ شَهْرٍ فَصَاعِدًا، ٱلْمَعْدُودِينَ مِنْهُمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا وَمِئَتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثَةً وَسَبْعِينَ. ٤٣ 43
The total of those who were at least one month old was 22,273.
وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ٤٤ 44
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
«خُذِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ كُلِّ بِكْرٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَبَهَائِمَ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ بَدَلَ بَهَائِمِهِمْ، فَيَكُونَ لِيَ ٱللَّاوِيُّونَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ. ٤٥ 45
“Set apart the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for [the firstborn males of] the other Israeli people. The descendants of Levi belong to me, Yahweh.
وَأَمَّا فِدَاءُ ٱلْمِئَتَيْنِ وَٱلثَّلَاثَةِ وَٱلسَّبْعِينَ ٱلزَّائِدِينَ عَلَى ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ مِنْ أَبْكَارِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٤٦ 46
There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
فَتَأْخُذُ خَمْسَةَ شَوَاقِلَ لِكُلِّ رَأْسٍ. عَلَى شَاقِلِ ٱلْقُدْسِ تَأْخُذُهَا. عِشْرُونَ جِيرَةً ٱلشَّاقِلُ. ٤٧ 47
To pay for these 273 males, collect five pieces of silver for each of them. Each of those pieces of silver must weigh the same as each of the silver coins that are stored in the Sacred Tent. Give this silver to Aaron and his sons.”
وَتُعْطِي ٱلْفِضَّةَ لِهَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ فِدَاءَ ٱلزَّائِدِينَ عَلَيْهِمْ». ٤٨ 48
فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى فِضَّةَ فِدَائِهِمْ مِنَ ٱلزَّائِدِينَ عَلَى فِدَاءِ ٱللَّاوِيِّينَ. ٤٩ 49
So Moses/I did that. He/I collected the silver from those 273 males.
مِنْ أَبْكَارِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَخَذَ ٱلْفِضَّةَ أَلْفًا وَثَلَاثَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسَةً وَسِتِّينَ عَلَى شَاقِلِ ٱلْقُدْسِ، ٥٠ 50
The total was 1,365 pieces of silver. Each silver coin weighed the same as each of the silver coins stored in the Sacred Tent.
وَأَعْطَى مُوسَى فِضَّةَ ٱلْفِدَاءِ لِهَارُونَ وَبَنِيهِ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ، كَمَا أَمَرَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى. ٥١ 51
Moses/I gave these silver coins to Aaron and his sons, as Yahweh had commanded.
