is the most holy:

And it shall come to pass, when the host is come up, that Aaron and his sons shall go in, and take down the vail, and wrap the ark of the testimony in it;

and on it do the blanket of badger skins and on top of it spread a whole yellow dekke and put its rods to it;

And over the show-table also spread a yellow cover, and put therein the bowls, and the spoons, and the basons, and the pitchers, to pour out, and to pour in. And the daily bread shall lie therewith.

And they shall spread over it a covering of scarlet, and cover it with a covering of badgers’
skins, and put his staves thereon.

And they shall take a yellow cover, and wrap therein the candlestick of light, and the lamps thereof, with their snuffers, and their cups, and all the vessels of oil that pertain unto the ministry.

And they shall put a covering of badgers’ skins about all these, and put them upon staves.

And they shall spread a yellow covering over the golden altar, and cover it with a covering of badgers’ skins, and put the staves thereof.

And they shall take all the vessels that they make in the sanctuary, and put yellow coverings over them, and cover them with a covering of badgers’ skins, and put them upon poles.

They shall also sweep the ashes from off the altar, and spread a scarlet covering over them, 14. And they shall put all his vessels thereon, to set them upon it: And they shall spread over it a covering of badgers’ skins, and put his staves thereon.

And it shall come to pass, when Aaron and his sons have made an end, and have covered the sanctuary, and all the vessels thereof, when the host riseth up, that the children of Kohath shall go in to bear it, and shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the children of Kohath upon the tabernacle of the congregation.

And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall have the charge of the oil for light, and of the spices for incense, and of the continual meat offering, and of the anointing oil; and he shall appoint all the tabernacle, and all that is therein, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

Ye shall not suffer the tribe of the tribe of the Kohathites to perish among the Levites; 19. But this shall ye do unto them, that they live, and die not, where they touch the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and set every man his charge and his burden.

And they shall not go in to see the sanctuary uncovered, lest they die.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

Take the summa of the children of Gershon also according to their fathers’ house, and. Sex, 23. From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, and ordain them all that are able for the host, that they may minister in the tabernacle of the congregation.

And this shall be the office of the family of the Gershonites, to create and to bear: 25. And they shall bear the carpets of the tabernacle, and of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the covering thereof, and the covering of badgers’ skins that is above, and the covering of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And the cloaks of the court, and the covering of the door of the gate of the court, which is round about the tabernacle and the altar, and their cords, and all the vessels of their service, and all that pertaineth unto their service.

According to the word of Aaron and his sons shall all the service of the children of Gershon be, all that they shall bear, and all that they shall do: and ye shall see that they bear all their burden.

This shall be the service of the family of the children of the Gershonites in the tabernacle of
the congregation: and their guard shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

The children of Meran also shalt thou set in order according to their families and their fathers,

From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that are fit for the army, to minister in the tabernacle of the congregation.

And upon this burden shall they wait after all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation, to bear the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the pillars, and the feet, 32. And the pillars of the court round about, and the feet, and the nails, and the cords, with all the instruments thereof, according to all their service: every man shall ye appoint to keep his part of the burden of the instruments.

This is the service of the families of the children of Meran, all that they shall make in the tabernacle of the congregation under the hand of Ithamar the priest, Aaron’s son.

And Moses and Aaron, and the captains of the congregation, numbered the children of the Kohathites according to their families, and according to their fathers’ houses, 35. From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that were fit for the army to minister in the tabernacle of the congregation.

And the sum was two thousand seven hundred and fifty:

This is the sum of the families of the Kohathites, all of whom were in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD by Moses.

And the sons of Gershon were numbered in their families, and in their fathers’ houses, 39. From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that were fit for the army, to minister in the tabernacle of the congregation.

And the sum was two thousand six hundred and thirty.

This is the sum of the families of the children of Gershon, all of whom were in the tabernacle of the congregation, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD.

And the children of Meran were numbered according to their families, and according to their fathers’ houses,

From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that were fit for the army, to minister in the tabernacle of the congregation.

And the sum was three thousand and two hundred.

This is the sum of the families of the children of Meran, which Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the LORD by Moses.

The sum of all the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the captains of Israel numbered according to their families and their fathers’ houses,

From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, all that came in to work, every man his office, and to bear the burden of the tabernacle of the congregation, 48. Was eight thousand five hundred and eighty,

Chapter 5
Purification of the camp. Atonement and sacrifice of zeal.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath the issue of pus, and that is defiled in the dead.

Both man and wife shall put them out of the camp, that they defile not their camps, where I dwell among them.

And the children of Israel did so, and brought them forth without the camp, as the LORD
spake unto Moses.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: If a man or woman commit any sin
against a man, and sin against the LORD, the soul hath iniquity upon it; 7. And they shall confess their sin which they have committed, and shall make reconciliation for their trespass with the principal sum, and shall add unto it the fifth part, and give it unto him for whom they trespassed.

And if there be none to whom it be paid, then it shall be given unto the LORD for the priest over the ram of atonement, to make an atonement for him.

Likewise shall all the heave of all that the children of Israel sanctify and offer unto the priest be.

And whoso sanctifieth any thing shall be his: and whoso giveth any thing to the priest shall be his:

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: If any man’s wife shall go astray, and sin against him,

And if any man put her to sleep in the flesh, and it were hid from the man’s eyes, and it were hid that she was defiled, he cannot persuade her, because she is not comprehended within, 14. And the spirit of jealousy kindleth him to be jealous for his wife, whether she be unclean, or whether she be not unclean:

Then he shall bring them unto the priest, and offer a sacrifice over them, the tenth of an ephah of barley flour; and he shall not pour oil upon it, neither put incense thereon. For it is a sacrifice of jealousy, and an offering for iniquity.

Then shall the priest bring them, and set them before the LORD, 17. And take the holy water in an earthen vessel, and put dust from the floor of the tabernacle into the water,

And he shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover her head, and put the trespass offering, which is a sacrifice of jealousy, upon her hand. And the priest shall have bitter accursed water
