²¹ This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

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

⁵ Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites.

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

⁴⁷ But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁰ But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵¹ And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

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

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

¹⁷ Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.

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

²⁰ And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

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

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

⁴⁹ And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by 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

⁴ And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

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

¹⁸ Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:

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

¹² And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.

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

¹⁵ And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.

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

²¹ And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse 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

²⁶ But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.

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

³⁰ Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁷ And these are they that were numbered of the Levites after their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites: of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites: of Merari, the family of the Merarites.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁸ These are the families of the Levites: the family of the Libnites, the family of the Hebronites, the family of the Mahlites, the family of the Mushites, the family of the Korathites. And Kohath begat Amram.

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

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

⁹ And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:

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

⁷ Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do.

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

¹⁸ And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.

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

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

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve twelve cities.

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

¹⁵ And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

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

² Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

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

³ Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. And these are the families of the Levites according to their fathers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁸ Their brethren also the Levites were appointed unto all manner of service of the tabernacle of the house of God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

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

¹⁵ And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful.
