¹ 他又带我回到圣地朝东的外门；那门关闭了。

² 耶和华对我说：这门必须关闭，不可敞开，谁也不可由其中进入；因为耶和华─以色列的神已经由其中进入，所以必须关闭。

³ 至於王，他必按王的位分，坐在其内，在耶和华面前吃饼。他必由这门的廊而入，也必由此而出。

⁴ 他又带我由北门来到殿前。我观看，见耶和华的荣光充满耶和华的殿，我就俯伏在地。

⁵ 耶和华对我说：人子啊，我对你所说耶和华殿中的一切典章法则，你要放在心上，用眼看，用耳听，并要留心殿宇和圣地一切出入之处。

⁶ 你要对那悖逆的以色列家说，主耶和华如此说：以色列家啊，你们行一切可憎的事，当够了罢！

⁷ 你们把我的食物，就是脂油和血献上的时候，将身心未受割礼的外邦人领进我的圣地，玷污了我的殿；又背了我的约，在你们一切可憎的事上，加上这一层。

⁸ 你们也没有看守我的圣物，却派别人在圣地替你们看守我所吩咐你们的。

⁹ 主耶和华如此说：以色列中的外邦人，就是身心未受割礼的，都不可入我的圣地。

¹⁰ 当以色列人走迷的时候，有利未人远离我，就是走迷离开我、随从他们的偶像，他们必担当自己的罪孽。

¹¹ 然而他们必在我的圣地当仆役，照管殿门，在殿中供职；必为民宰杀燔祭牲和平安祭牲，必站在民前伺候他们。

¹² 因为这些利未人曾在偶像前伺候这民，成了以色列家罪孽的绊脚石，所以我向他们起誓：他们必担当自己的罪孽。这是主耶和华说的。

¹³ 他们不可亲近我，给我供祭司的职分，也不可挨近我的一件圣物，就是至圣的物；他们却要担当自己的羞辱和所行可憎之事的报应。

¹⁴ 然而我要使他们看守殿宇，办理其中的一切事，并做其内一切当做之工。

¹⁵ 以色列人走迷离开我的时候，祭司利未人撒督的子孙仍看守我的圣所。他们必亲近我，事奉我，并且侍立在我面前，将脂油与血献给我。这是主耶和华说的。

¹⁶ 他们必进入我的圣所，就近我的桌前事奉我，守我所吩咐的。

¹⁷ 他们进内院门必穿细麻衣。在内院门和殿内供职的时候不可穿羊毛衣服。

¹⁸ 他们头上要戴细麻布裹头巾，腰穿细麻布裤子；不可穿使身体出汗的衣服。

¹⁹ 他们出到外院的民那里，当脱下供职的衣服，放在圣屋内，穿上别的衣服，免得因圣衣使民成圣。

²⁰ 不可剃头，也不可容发绺长长，只可剪发。

²¹ 祭司进内院的时候都不可喝酒。

²² 不可娶寡妇和被休的妇人为妻，只可娶以色列後裔中的处女，或是祭司遗留的寡妇。

²³ 他们要使我的民知道圣俗的分别，又使他们分辨洁净的和不洁净的。

²⁴ 有争讼的事，他们应当站立判断，要按我的典章判断。在我一切的节期必守我的律法、条例，也必以我的安息日为圣日。

²⁵ 他们不可挨近死尸沾染自己，只可为父亲、母亲、儿子、女儿、弟兄，和未嫁人的姊妹沾染自己。

²⁶ 祭司洁净之後，必再计算七日。

²⁷ 当他进内院，进圣所，在圣所中事奉的日子，要为自己献赎罪祭。这是主耶和华说的。

²⁸ 祭司必有产业，我是他们的产业。不可在以色列中给他们基业；我是他们的基业。

²⁹ 素祭、赎罪祭，和赎愆祭他们都可以吃，以色列中一切永献的物都要归他们。

³⁰ 首先初熟之物和一切所献的供物都要归给祭司。你们也要用初熟的麦子磨面给祭司；这样，福气就必临到你们的家了。

³¹ 无论是鸟是兽，凡自死的，或是撕裂的，祭司都不可吃。

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

² "Make two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of beaten work. You shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.

³ When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

⁴ If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.

⁵ When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall go forward.

⁶ When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall go forward. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

⁷ But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.

⁸ "The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.

⁹ When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before Yahweh your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.

¹⁰ "Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God. I am Yahweh your God."

¹¹ It happened in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony.

¹² The children of Israel went forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud stayed in the wilderness of Paran.

¹³ They first went forward according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.

¹⁴ First, the standard of the camp of the children of Judah went forward according to their armies. Nahshon the son of Amminadab was over his army.

¹⁵ Nethanel the son of Zuar was over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar.

¹⁶ Eliab the son of Helon was over the army of the tribe of the children of Zebulun.

¹⁷ The tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who bore the tabernacle, went forward.

¹⁸ The standard of the camp of Reuben went forward according to their armies. Elizur the son of Shedeur was over his army.

¹⁹ Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai was over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon.

²⁰ Eliasaph the son of Deuel was over the army of the tribe of the children of Gad.

²¹ The Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary. The others set up the tabernacle before they arrived.

²² The standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set forward according to their armies. Elishama the son of Ammihud was over his army.

²³ Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur was over the army of the tribe of the children of Manasseh.

²⁴ Abidan the son of Gideoni was over the army of the tribe of the children of Benjamin.

²⁵ The standard of the camp of the children of Dan, which was the rear guard of all the camps, set forward according to their armies. Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai was over his army.

²⁶ Pagiel the son of Ochran was over the army of the tribe of the children of Asher.

²⁷ Ahira the son of Enan was over the army of the tribe of the children of Naphtali.

²⁸ Thus were the travels of the children of Israel according to their armies; and they went forward.

²⁹ Moses said to Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are journeying to the place of which Yahweh said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you well; for Yahweh has spoken good concerning Israel."

³⁰ He said to him, "I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my relatives."

³¹ He said, "Don't leave us, please; because you know how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.

³² It shall be, if you go with us, yes, it shall be, that whatever good Yahweh does to us, we will do the same to you."

³³ They set forward from the Mount of Yahweh three days' journey. The ark of the covenant of Yahweh went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting place for them.

³⁴ The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.

³⁵ It happened, when the ark went forward, that Moses said, "Rise up, Yahweh, and let your enemies be scattered! Let those who hate you flee before you!"

³⁶ When it rested, he said, "Return, Yahweh, to the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel."
