fathers, from thirty years up unto fifty. All that were able to go
forth with the host, to do service in the tabernacle of witness. And
the number of them was in their kindreds, three thousand and two
hundred. This is the number of the kindreds of the sons of Merari,
which Moses and Aaron numbered at the bidding of the LORD, by the hand
of Moses. The whole sum which Moses, Aaron and the lords of Israel
numbered among the Levites in their kindreds and households of their
fathers, from thirty years up unto fifty every man to do his office and
service and to bear his burthen in the tabernacle of witness: was eight
thousand, five hundred and eighty which they numbered at the
commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses every man unto his service
and burthen: as the LORD commanded Moses.
Chapter .v.
And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: command the children of Israel
that they put out of the host, all the lepers and all that have issues
and all that are defiled upon the dead, whether they be males or
females ye shall put them out of the host, that they defile not the
tents among which I {ye} dwell. And the children of Israel did so, and
put them out of the host: even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the
children of Israel. And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: speak unto
the children of Israel: whether it be man or woman, when they have
sinned any manner of sin which a man doeth wherewith a man trespasseth
against the LORD, so that the soul hath done amiss: then they shall
knowledge their sins which they have done, and restore again the hurt
that they have done in the whole, and put the fifth part of it more
thereto, and give it unto him whom he hath trespassed against. But and
if he that maketh the amends have no man to do it to, then the amends
that is made shall be the LORD's and the priest's, beside the ram of
the atonement offering wherewith he maketh an atonement for himself.
And all heave offerings of all the hallowed things which the children
of Israel bring unto the priest, shall be the priest's, and every man's
hallowed things shall be his own, but whatsoever any man giveth the
priest, it shall be the priest's. And the LORD spake unto Moses saying:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: If any man's wife
go aside and trespass against him, so that another man lie with her
fleshly and the thing be hid from the eyes of her husband and is not
come to light that she is defiled (for there is no witness against her)
in as much as she was not taken with the manner, and the spirit of
jealousy cometh upon him and he is jealous over his wife and she
defiled, or happily the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he is
jealous over his wife and she yet undefiled. Then let her husband bring
her unto the priest and bring an offering for her: the tenth part of an
Epha of barley meal, but shall pour none oil thereunto, nor put
frankincense thereon: for it is an offering of jealousy, and an
offering that maketh remembrance of sin.
