WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.520 Chapter 3 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the 00:05.520 --> 00:07.500 Lord spake with Moses in Mount Sinai. 00:07.940 --> 00:12.260 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron, Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, 00:12.720 --> 00:14.040 Eliezer, and Ithamar. 00:14.520 --> 00:18.040 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, 00:18.300 --> 00:20.800 whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office. 00:21.440 --> 00:25.980 And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the 00:25.980 --> 00:28.940 Lord in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. 00:29.500 --> 00:33.560 And Eliezer and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron 00:33.560 --> 00:34.200 their father. 00:34.620 --> 00:38.200 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Bring the tribe of Levi near, 00:38.560 --> 00:42.620 and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him. 00:43.060 --> 00:46.840 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation, 00:46.980 --> 00:51.260 before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. 00:51.820 --> 00:55.520 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, 00:55.520 --> 01:00.080 and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 01:01.040 --> 01:04.140 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons. 01:04.540 --> 01:07.940 They are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel. 01:08.500 --> 01:12.920 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's 01:12.920 --> 01:13.240 office. 01:14.040 --> 01:16.640 And the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 01:16.860 --> 01:21.060 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, And I, behold, I have taken the 01:21.060 --> 01:25.360 Levites from among the children of Israel, instead of all the firstborn that openeth 01:25.360 --> 01:27.200 the matrix among the children of Israel. 01:28.080 --> 01:32.480 Therefore the Levites shall be mine, because all the firstborn are mine. 01:33.100 --> 01:36.540 For on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, 01:36.760 --> 01:41.120 I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. 01:41.800 --> 01:42.880 Mine shall they be. 01:43.280 --> 01:44.140 I am the Lord. 01:44.360 --> 01:48.520 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, Number the 01:48.520 --> 01:51.960 children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families. 01:51.960 --> 01:55.760 Every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. 01:55.960 --> 01:59.680 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded. 02:00.140 --> 02:05.320 And these were the sons of Levi by their names, Gershon, and Kohath, and Merorai. 02:05.780 --> 02:09.800 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families, Libnai, 02:10.060 --> 02:10.720 and Shimei. 02:11.180 --> 02:16.540 And the sons of Kohath by their families, Amram, and

02:39.320 thousand and five hundred. 02:39.920 --> 02:43.340 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward. 02:43.860 --> 02:47.620 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph, 02:47.740 --> 02:48.500 the son of Lael. 02:48.500 --> 02:52.860 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall 02:52.860 --> 02:56.400 be the tabernacle and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for 02:56.400 --> 02:58.360 the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 02:59.060 --> 03:02.240 And the hangings of the court and the curtain for the door of the court, 03:02.420 --> 03:06.480 which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for 03:06.480 --> 03:07.760

were eight 03:22.340 --> 03:25.340 thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary. 03:25.840 --> 03:29.920 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle 03:29.920 --> 03:33.500 southward, and the chief of the house of the father of the families of the 03:33.500 --> 03:36.280 Kohathites shall be Elizephan, the son of Uzziel. 03:36.840 --> 03:39.900 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, 03:39.940 --> 03:43.460 and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary, wherewith they minister, 03:43.460 --> 03:46.140 and the

said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children 05:04.140 --> 05:08.440 of Israel, from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names. 05:08.440 --> 05:13.480 And thou shalt take the Levites for me, I am the Lord, instead of all the 05:13.480 --> 05:17.360 firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, 05:17.460 --> 05:20.500 instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel. 05:20.820 --> 05:25.320 And Moses numbered, as the Lord commanded him, all the firstborn among the children 05:25.320 --> 05:25.960 of Israel. 05:26.180 --> 05:30.000 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, 05:30.300 --> 05:33.820 of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand, two hundred, 05:33.820 --> 05:35.560 and three score, and thirteen. 05:35.960 --> 05:39.440 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Take the Levites instead of all 05:39.440 --> 05:43.360 the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites 05:43.360 --> 05:47.700 instead of their cattle, and the Levites shall be mine, I am the Lord. 05:48.280 --> 05:51.900 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and three score and 05:51.900 --> 05:55.800 thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the 05:55.800 --> 06:00.900 Levites, thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the pole, after the shekel of 06:00.900 --> 06:02.660 the sanctuary shalt thou take them. 06:03.300 --> 06:08.500 The shekel is twenty giras, and thou shalt give the money wherewith the odd number of 06:08.500 --> 06:11.420 them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. 06:11.700 --> 06:15.420 And Moses took the redemption money of them
