21 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying,
22 Lift the heads of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' house, by their
families,
23 from a son of thirty years and upward, you shall number them, until a son of
fifty years, all that enter to wait on the service, to serve in the tabernacle
of the congregation.
24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites in serving and in
bearing burdens.
25 They shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the
congregation, its covering, and the covering of Tachash skins that is on its
top, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;
26 and the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door of the gate of
the court by the tabernacle and by the altar all around, and their cords, and
all the vessels of their service, and whatever there may be to do with them; in
this they shall serve.
27 At the mouth of Aaron, and of his sons shall be all the service of the sons
of the Gershonites, and all their burden, and all their service. And you shall
lay a charge on them concerning the duty of all their burden.
28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the
tabernacle of the congregation; and their charge is under the hand of Ithamar,
son of Aaron the priest.
29 You shall number the sons of Merari by their families, by their fathers'
house,
30 from a son of thirty years and upward, even to a son of fifty years you shall
number them, everyone who is going into the service, to do the work of the
tabernacle of the congregation.
31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the
tabernacle of the congregation: the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars and
its pillars and its sockets,
32 the pillars of the court all around and their sockets, their pins and their
cords, of all their vessels and of all their service. And you shall number the
vessels of the charge of their burden by name.
33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, for all their
service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, by the hand of Ithamar, son of
Aaron the priest.
34 And Moses and Aaron and the ruler of the congregation numbered the sons of
the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers' house,
35 from a son of thirty years and upward, even to a son of fifty years, everyone
who is going into the service, for work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
36 Their numbered ones, by their families, were two thousand, seven hundred and

37 These were those numbered of the families of the Kohathites, everyone who is

45 These were those numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses

49 he numbered them by the mouth of YAHUVEH, by the hand of Moses, each man
according to his service, and according to his burden, even they were numbered

Chapter 5
1 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Command the sons of Israel, and they shall send every leper out of the camp,
and everyone with an issue, and everyone defiled by a dead body.
3 You shall send out from male and female. You shall send them to the outside of
the camp. And they shall not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.
4 And the sons of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp. As YAHUVEH spoke
to Moses, so the sons of Israel did.
5 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying,
6 Speak to the sons of Israel, man or woman, when they commit any of the sins of
man, by committing a trespass against YAHUVEH, and that person is guilty,
7 then they shall confess their sin which they have done. And he shall make
restitution for his guilt in full, and add its fifth to it, and shall give it to
him against whom he has been guilty.
8 And if a man has no kinsman to whom the guilt may be restored, the guilt which
is restored shall belong to YAHUVEH, a priest's, besides the ram of the
atonement by which he makes atonement for him.
9 And every heave offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel which
they bring to the priest shall be his.
10 And any man's dedicated things shall become his, that which any man gives to
the priest becomes his.
11 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying,
12 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When any man's wife
goes astray, and has committed a trespass against him,
13 and a man lies with her with semen, and it has been hidden from her husband's
eyes, and is kept hidden, and she is defiled, and there is no other witness
against her, and she has not been caught;
14 and a spirit of jealousy has passed over him, and he has become jealous of
his wife, and she has been defiled. Or, a spirit of jealousy has passed over
him, and he has become jealous of his wife, and she has not become defiled:
15 then the man shall bring his wife in to the priest, and he shall bring in her
offering for her, a tenth of an ephah of barley meal. He shall not pour oil on
it, nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a food offering of jealousy,
a food offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
16 And the priest shall bring her near, and shall cause her to stand before
YAHUVEH.
17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel. And the priest
shall take of the dust which is on the tabernacle floor, and shall put it into
the water.
18 And the priest shall cause the woman to stand before YAHUVEH, and shall make
bare the woman's head, and shall give into her hand the food offering of
memorial; it is a food offering of jealousy; and in the priest's hand shall be
the bitter waters which cause the curse.
19 And the priest shall cause her to swear and shall say to the woman, If no man
has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to impurity under your
husband, be free from these bitter waters which cause the curse.
20 And you, if you have turned aside under your husband, and if you have been
defiled, and any man besides your husband has given his semen to you,
21 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with an oath of cursing, and
the priest shall say to the woman: YAHUVEH shall make you a curse and an oath
among your people, when YAHUVEH makes your thigh to fall away, and your belly to
swell.
22 And these waters which cause the curse shall go into your bowels to cause the
belly to swell, and the thigh to fall. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen.
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them with
the bitter waters.
24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter waters which cause the
curse. And the waters which cause the curse shall enter into her for bitter
things.
25 And the priest shall take the food offering of jealousy out of the woman's
hand, and shall wave the food offering before YAHUVEH, and shall bring it near
to the altar.
26 And the priest shall take a handful of the food offering, its memorial, and
shall burn it as incense on the altar. And afterward he shall cause the woman to
drink the water.
27 And when he shall cause her to drink the water, then it shall be, if she has
been defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, the waters which
cause the curse shall go into her for bitter things; and her belly shall swell,
and her thigh shall fall away, and the woman shall become a curse in the midst
of her people.
28 And if the woman has not been defiled, and is pure, then she shall be clean
and shall conceive seed.
29 This is the law of jealousies when a wife turns aside under her husband, and
has been defiled;
30 or when a spirit of jealousy passes over a man, and he has become jealous of
his wife, then he shall cause the woman to stand before YAHUVEH, and the priest
shall do to her all this law;
31 and the man shall be clean from sin, and the woman shall bear her iniquity.
Chapter 6
1 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the sons of Israel and you shall say to them, When a man or a woman
shall vow a vow, the vow of a Nazarite to be separated to YAHUVEH:
3 He shall separate from wine and fermented drink; he shall not drink vinegar of
wine or vinegar of fermented drink; he shall not drink any juice of the grapes;
and he shall not eat dry or moist grapes.
4 All the days of his separation he shall not eat from all that is made of the
vine, from pressed grapes, even to the stem.
5 All the days of the vow of his separation, a razor shall not pass over his
head; he shall be holy until all the days are fulfilled which he has separated
to YAHUVEH. He shall allow the locks of the hair of his head to grow long.
6 All the days of his separation to YAHUVEH he shall not go near a dead person.
7 He shall not make himself unclean for his father or his mother or for his
brother or his sister at their death; because his separation to his Elohim is on
his head.
8 All the days of his separation he shall be holy to YAHUVEH.
9 And if any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles his consecrated
head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing, on the seventh
day he shall shave it.
10 And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to
the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting.
11 And the priest shall prepare one for a sin offering, and one for a burnt
offering, and shall atone for him, because he sinned by reason of the dead body.
And he shall dedicate his head on that day.
12 And he shall separate to YAHUVEH the days of his consecration, and shall
bring a he lamb of the first year for a guilt offering. But the former days
shall be void, for his separation was defiled.
13 And this is the law of the Nazarite: when the days of his separation are
fulfilled, bring him in to the door of the tent of meeting,
14 and he shall offer his offering to YAHUVEH, one he-lamb of the first year,
without blemish, for a burnt offering; and one she-lambs, a yearling, without
blemish, for a sin offering; and one ram, without blemish, for a peace offering;
15 and a basket of unleavened cakes of flour, cakes mixed with oil, and
unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their food offering, and their drink
offerings.
16 And the priest shall bring them before YAHUVEH, and shall offer his sin
offering and his burnt offering.
17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offering to YAHUVEH, with
the basket of unleavened cakes. And the priest shall offer its food offering and
its drink offering.
18 And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the
tent of meeting and shall take the hair of the head of his separation and shall
put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offering.
19 And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder from the ram and one unleavened
cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them on the
hands of the Nazarite after he has shaved his separation.
20 And the priest shall wave them, a wave offering before YAHUVEH. It is holy to
the priest, besides the breast of the wave offering, and besides the leg of the
heave offering. And afterward the Nazarite shall drink wine1.
21 This is the law of the Nazarite who vows his offering to YAHUVEH for his
separation, besides that which his hand may get: according to his vow which he
vows, so he shall do by the law of his separation.
22 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying,
23 Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, In this way you shall bless the sons
of Israel, saying to them:
24 YAHUVEH bless you and keep you;
25 YAHUVEH cause His face to shine on you, and be gracious to you;
26 YAHUVEH lift up His face to you, and give you peace.
27 So they shall put My name on the sons of Israel, and I Myself will bless
them.

anointed it and sanctified it, and all its vessels, and the altar and all its
