5And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

5And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

6Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;

6Make the tribe of Levi come near, and put them before Aaron the priest, to be his helpers,

6`Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou hast caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,

6Bring the tribe of Levi, and make them stand in the sight of Aaron the priest to minister to him, and let them watch,

7and they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole assembly, before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.

7In order that they may be responsible to him and to all Israel for the care of the Tent of meeting, and to do the work of the House;

7and kept his charge, and the charge of all the company before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle;

7And observe whatsoever appertaineth to the service of the multitude before the tabernacle of the testimony,

8And they shall keep all the utensils of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

8And they will have the care of all the vessels of the Tent of meeting, and will do for the children of Israel all the necessary work of the House.

8and they have kept all the vessels of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle;

8And let them keep the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in the ministry thereof.

9And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.

9Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; so that they may be his without question from among the children of Israel.

9and thou hast given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel.

9And thou shalt give the Levites for a gift,

10And Aaron and his sons shalt thou appoint that they may attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.

10And give orders that Aaron and his sons are to keep their place as priests; any strange person who comes near is to be put to death.

10`And Aaron and his sons thou dost appoint, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who cometh near is put to death.'

10To Aaron and to his sons, to whom they are delivered by the children of Israel. But thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of priesthood. The stranger that approacheth to minister, shall be put to death.

12And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;

12See, I have taken the Levites out of the children of Israel to be mine in place of the first sons of the children of Israel;

12`And I, lo, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every first-born opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been Mine;

12I have taken the Levites from the children of Israel, for every firstborn that openeth the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.

13for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.

13For all the first sons are mine; on the day when I put to death all the first sons in the land of Egypt, I took for myself every first male birth of man and beast. They are mine; I am the Lord.

13for Mine <FI>is<Fi> every first-born, in the day of My smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every first-born in Israel, from man unto beast; Mine they are; I <FI>am<Fi> Jehovah.'

13For every firstborn is mine: since I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt: I have sanctified to myself whatsoever is firstborn in Israel both of man and beast, they are mine: I am the Lord.

48and thou hast given the money to Aaron, and to his sons, whereby those over and above are ransomed.'

48And thou shalt give the money to Aaron and his sons, the price of them that are above.

49And Moses took the ransom-money from them that were over and above those who were ransomed by the Levites;

49So Moses took the money, the price of those whose place had not been taken by the Levites;

50From the first sons of Israel he took it, a thousand, three hundred and sixty-five shekels, by the scale of the holy place;

50For the firstborn of the children of Israel, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five sicles, according to the weight of the sanctuary,

51And Moses gave the money of them that were ransomed to Aaron and to his sons, according to the commandment of Jehovah, — as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

51And he gave the money to Aaron and his sons, as the Lord had said.

51and Moses giveth the money of those ransomed to Aaron, and to his sons, according to the command of Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

51And gave it to Aaron and his sons according to the word that the Lord had commanded him.
