³³ And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁹ Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵² And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵³ But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁴ And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ And thou shalt take the Levites for me I am the LORD instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁶ And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁶ All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the house of their fathers,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

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

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

²⁵ And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

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

²⁶ Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD'S heave offering to Aaron the priest.

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

¹ The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.

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

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

³³ And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ The son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, the son of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁴ And the children of Israel gave to the Levites these cities with their suburbs.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁹ And these were they which went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷⁰ So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen; eighteen;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶¹ And these were they which went up also from Tel-melah, Tel-haresha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷³ So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁷ And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
