Numbers 8
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 Speake vnto Aaron, and say vnto him, When thou lightest the lampes, the seuen lampes shall giue light towarde the forefront of the Candlesticke.
Loquere Aaron, et dices ad eum: Cum posueris septem lucernas, candelabrum in australi parte erigatur. Hoc igitur præcipe ut lucernæ contra boream e regione respiciant ad mensam panum propositionis, contra eam partem, quam candelabrum respicit, lucere debebunt.
3 And Aaron did so, lighting the lampes thereof towarde ye forefront of the Candlesticke, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Fecitque Aaron, et imposuit lucernas super candelabrum, ut præceperat Dominus Moysi.
4 And this was the worke of the Candlesticke, euen of golde beaten out with the hammer, both the shafte, and the flowres thereof was beaten out with the hammer: according to the paterne, which the Lord had shewed Moses, so made he the Candlesticke.
Hæc autem erat factura candelabri, ex auro ductili, tam medius stipes, quam cuncta quæ ex utroque calamorum latere nascebantur: iuxta exemplum quod ostendit Dominus Moysi, ita operatus est candelabrum.
5 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
6 Take the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and purifie them.
Tolle Levitas de medio filiorum Israel, et purificabis eos
7 And thus shalt thou doe vnto them, when thou purifiest them, Sprinckle water of purification vpon them, and let them shaue all their flesh, and wash their clothes: so they shalbe cleane.
iuxta hunc ritum: Aspergantur aqua lustrationis, et radant omnes pilos carnis suæ. Cumque laverint vestimenta sua, et mundati fuerint,
8 Then they shall take a yong bullocke with his meate offring of fine floure, mingled with oyle, and another yong bullocke shalt thou take for a sinne offring.
tollent bovem de armentis, et libamentum eius similam oleo conspersam: bovem autem alterum de armento tu accipies pro peccato:
9 Then thou shalt bring the Leuites before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and asseble all the Congregation of the children of Israel.
et applicabis Levitas coram tabernaculo fœderis, convocata omni multitudine filiorum Israel.
10 Thou shalt bring the Leuites also before the Lord, and the children of Israel shall put their handes vpon the Leuites.
Cumque Levitæ fuerint coram Domino, ponent filii Israel manus suas super eos.
11 And Aaron shall offer the Leuites before the Lord, as a shake offring of ye childre of Israel, that they may execute the seruice of the Lord.
et offeret Aaron Levitas, munus in conspectu Domini a filiis Israel, ut serviant in ministerio eius.
12 And the Leuites shall put their handes vpon the heades of the bullockes, and make thou the one a sinne offring, and the other a burnt offring vnto the Lord, that thou mayest make an atonement for the Leuites.
Levitæ quoque ponent manus suas super capita boum, e quibus unum facies pro peccato, et alterum in holocaustum Domini, ut depreceris pro eis.
13 And thou shalt set the Leuites before Aaron and before his sonnes, and offer the as a shake offring to the Lord.
Statuesque Levitas in conspectu Aaron et filiorum eius, et consecrabis oblatos Domino,
14 Thus thou shalt separate the Leuites from among the children of Israel, and the Leuites shall be mine.
ac separabis de medio filiorum Israel, ut sint mei.
15 And afterwarde shall the Leuites goe in, to serue in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt purifie them and offer them, as a shake offering.
et postea ingredientur tabernaculum fœderis, ut serviant mihi. Sicque purificabis et consecrabis eos in oblationem Domini: quoniam dono donati sunt mihi a filiis Israel.
16 For they are freely giuen vnto me from among the children of Israel, for such as open any wombe: for all the first borne of the children of Israel haue I taken them vnto me.
Pro primogenitis quæ aperiunt omnem vulvam in Israel, accepi eos.
17 For all the first borne of the children of Israel are mine, both of man and of beast: since the day that I smote euery first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them for my selfe.
Mea sunt enim omnia primogenita filiorum Israel, tam ex hominibus quam ex iumentis. Ex die quo percussi omne primogenitum in Terra Ægypti, sanctificavi eos mihi:
18 And I haue taken the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel,
et tuli Levitas pro cunctis primogenitis filiorum Israel:
19 And haue giuen the Leuites as a gift vnto Aaron, and to his sonnes from among the children of Israel, to do the seruice of the children of Israel in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel, that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come neere vnto the Sanctuarie.
tradidique eos dono Aaron et filiis eius de medio populi, ut serviant mihi pro Israel in tabernaculo fœderis, et orent pro eis ne sit in populo plaga, si ausi fuerint accedere ad Sanctuarium.
20 Then Moses and Aaron and all the Cogregation of the children of Israel did with the Leuites, according vnto all that the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites: so did the children of Israel vnto them.
Feceruntque Moyses et Aaron et omnis multitudo filiorum Israel super Levitas quæ præceperat Dominus Moysi:
21 So the Leuites were purified, and washed their clothes, and Aaron offred them as a shake offring before the Lord, and Aaron made an atonement for them, to purifie them.
purificatique sunt, et laverunt vestimenta sua. Elevavitque eos Aaron in conspectu Domini, et oravit pro eis,
22 And after that, went the Leuites in to doe their seruice in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before Aaron and before his sonnes: as the Lord had commanded Moses concerning the Leuites, so they did vnto them.
ut purificati ingrederentur ad officia sua in tabernaculum fœderis coram Aaron et filiis eius. Sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi de Levitis, ita factum est.
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
24 This also belongeth to the Leuites: from fiue and twentie yeere olde and vpwarde, they shall goe in, to execute their office in the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
Hæc est lex Levitarum, A viginti quinque annis et supra, ingredientur ut ministrent in tabernaculo fœderis.
25 And after the age of fiftie yeere, they shall cease from executing the office, and shall serue no more:
Cumque quinquagesimum annum ætatis impleverint, servire cessabunt:
26 But they shall minister with their brethre in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, to keepe things committed to their charge, but they shall doe no seruice: thus shalt thou doe vnto the Leuites touching their charges.
eruntque ministri fratrum suorum in tabernaculo fœderis, ut custodiant quæ sibi fuerunt commendata, opera autem ipsa non faciant. Sic dispones Levitis in custodiis suis.
