ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service 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 nigh unto the sanctuary.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶² And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁷ Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen thirteen cities.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beesh-terah with her suburbs; two cities.
