1 TUHAN menyuruh Musa dan Harun
And the Lord spoke to Moses, and Aaron, saying:
2 mengadakan sensus orang Lewi dari kaum Kehat menurut keluarga masing-masing,
Take the sum of the sons of Caath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families.
3 lalu mencatat nama semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh sampai lima puluh tahun, yang mampu melakukan wajib kerja di Kemah TUHAN.
From thirty years old and upward, to fifty years old, of all that go in to stand and to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
4 Pekerjaan mereka ialah mengurus barang-barang yang mahasuci.
This is the service of the sons of Caath:
5 TUHAN memberi kepada Musa peraturan ini: Kalau sudah waktunya membongkar perkemahan, Harun dan anak-anaknya harus masuk ke Kemah TUHAN, menurunkan tirai di depan Peti Perjanjian, dan menutupi Peti itu dengan kain itu.
When the camp is to set forward, Aaron and his sons shall go into the tabernacle of the covenant, and the holy of holies, and shall take down the veil that hangeth before the door, and shall wrap up the ark of the testimony in it,
6 Sesudahnya, mereka harus menutupinya lagi dengan sehelai kulit halus, lalu membentangkan sehelai kain biru di atasnya, dan memasang kayu pengusung Peti itu.
And shall cover it again with a cover of violet skins, and shall spread over it a cloth all of violet, and shall put in the bars.
7 Mereka harus membentangkan sehelai kain biru di atas meja tempat roti sajian untuk TUHAN, dan di atas meja itu harus mereka letakkan pinggan, baki tempat dupa, baki tempat persembahan, dan kendi untuk persembahan air anggur. Roti sajian harus selalu ada di meja itu.
They shall wrap up also the table of proposition in a cloth of violet, and shall put with it the censers and little mortars, the cups and bowls to pour out the libations: the leaves shall be always on it:
8 Mereka harus menutupi semuanya itu dengan sehelai kain merah, lalu membentangkan sehelai kulit halus di atasnya, dan memasang kayu pengusung meja itu.
And they shall spread over it a cloth of scarlet, which again they shall cover with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
9 Mereka harus mengambil sehelai kain biru dan menutupi kaki lampu serta lampu-lampunya, alat untuk membersihkan sumbu pelita dan penadahnya, dan semua tempat minyak zaitun.
They shall take also a cloth of violet wherewith they shall cover the candlestick with the lamps and tongs thereof and the snuffers and all the oil vessels, which are necessary for the dressing of the lamps:
10 Kaki lampu dan seluruh perlengkapannya harus mereka bungkus dengan sehelai kulit halus lalu menaruhnya di atas tempat pengusungan.
And over all they shall put a cover of violet skins and put in the bars.
11 Sesudah itu mereka harus membentangkan sehelai kain biru di atas mezbah dari emas itu, dan menutupinya dengan sehelai kulit halus, lalu memasang kayu pengusung mezbah itu.
And they shall wrap up the golden altar also in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
12 Segala peralatan yang dipakai di dalam Ruang Suci harus mereka ambil dan bungkus dengan sehelai kain biru. Lalu mereka harus menutupinya dengan sehelai kulit halus, dan menaruhnya di atas usungan.
All the vessels wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, they shall wrap up in a cloth of violet, and shall spread over it a cover of violet skins, and put in the bars.
13 Mereka harus membersihkan mezbah itu dari abu, lalu membentangkan sehelai kain ungu di atasnya.
They shall cleanse the altar also from the ashes, and shall wrap it up in a purple cloth,
14 Dan di atas itu harus mereka letakkan semua peralatan yang dipakai dalam ibadat pada mezbah itu: tempat api, garpu, penyodok, dan baskom. Lalu mereka harus menutupi semuanya itu dengan sehelai kulit halus dan memasang kayu pengusungnya.
And shall put it with all the vessels that they use in the ministry thereof, that is to say, firepans, fleshhooks and forks, pothooks and shovels. They shall cover all the vessels of the altar together with a covering of violet skins, and shall put in the bars.
15 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa dan Harun, "Pada waktu kamu membongkar perkemahan, Harun dan anak-anaknya harus masuk ke dalam Kemah-Ku dan menutupi semua barang dan perlengkapan yang ada di situ. Baru sesudah itu, orang-orang Kehat boleh datang untuk memikulnya. Tetapi mereka tak boleh melihat, mendekati atau menyentuh benda-benda itu, karena sudah dikhususkan untuk-Ku. Kalau mereka melakukannya juga, mereka akan mati. Jadi, supaya orang-orang Kehat itu jangan terhapus dari suku Lewi, Harun dan anak-anaknya harus menugaskan masing-masing di antara mereka apa yang harus mereka bawa. Itulah tugas orang Kehat pada waktu Kemah-Ku dipindahkan. Eleazar, anak Harun, bertanggung jawab atas seluruh Kemah-Ku, minyak lampu, dupa, kurban gandum untuk sajian tetap, minyak upacara dan semua yang ada di dalam Kemah-Ku itu."
And when Aaron and his sons have wrapped up the sanctuary and the vessels thereof at the removing of the camp, then shall the sons of Caath enter in to carry the things wrapped up: and they shall not touch the vessels of the sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the sons of Caath: in the tabernacle of the covenant:
And over them shall be Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, to whose charge pertaineth the oil to dress the lamps, and the sweet incense, and the sacrifice, that is always offered, and the oil of unction, and whatsoever pertaineth to the service of the tabernacle, and of all the vessels that are in the sanctuary.
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Destroy not the people of Caath from the midst of the Levites:
But do this to them, that they may live, and not die, by touching the holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall go in, and they shall appoint every man his work, and shall divide the burdens that every man is to carry.
Let not others by any curiosity see the things that are in the sanctuary before they be wrapped up, otherwise they shall die.

25 Kain tenda Kemah itu dengan tutupnya bagian dalam dan bagian luar dari kulit halus, kain di pintu Kemah,
To carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the roof of the covenant, the other covering, and the violet covering over all, and the hanging that hangeth in the entry of the tabernacle of the covenant,

The sons of Gerson shall carry, by the commandment of Aaron and his sons: and each man shall know to what burden he must be assigned.

34 Sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN, Musa, Harun dan para pemimpin umat mengadakan sensus dari ketiga kaum dalam suku Lewi, yaitu Kehat, Gerson dan Merari. Mereka melakukan sensus itu keluarga demi keluarga. Mereka mencatat nama semua orang laki-laki yang berumur tiga puluh sampai lima puluh tahun yang mampu melakukan tugas wajib kerja di Kemah TUHAN. Inilah hasilnya: (Kaum-Jumlah orang), Kehat-2.750, Gerson-2.630, Merari-3.200; Seluruhnya: 8.580.
So Moses and Aaron and the princes of the synagogue reckoned up the sons of Caath, by their kindreds and the houses of their fathers,
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant:
And they were found two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
This is the number of the people of Caath that go in to the tabernacle of the covenant: these did Moses and Aaron number according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
The sons of Gerson also were numbered by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant:
And they were found two thousand six hundred and thirty.
This is the people of the Gersonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
From thirty years old and upward, unto fifty years old, all that go in to fulfill the rites of the tabernacle of the covenant:
And they were found three thousand two hundred.
This is the number of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron reckoned up according to the commandment of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
All that were reckoned up of the Levites, and whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel took by name, by the kindreds and houses of their fathers,
From thirty years old and upward, until fifty years old, that go into the ministry of the tabernacle, and to carry the burdens,
Were in all eight thousand five hundred and eighty.
49 Atas perintah TUHAN melalui Musa, setiap orang didaftarkan dan diberi tanggung jawabnya masing-masing atas apa yang harus dilayaninya atau apa yang harus dipikulnya.
Moses reckoned them up according to the word of the Lord, every one according to their office and burdens, as the Lord had commanded him.
