¹ Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens :

² Tolle summam filiorum Caath de medio Levitarum per domos et familias suas,

³ a trigesimo anno et supra, usque ad quinquagesimum annum, omnium qui ingrediuntur ut stent et ministrent in tabernaculo fœderis.

⁴ Hic est cultus filiorum Caath : tabernaculum fœderis, et Sanctum sanctorum

⁵ ingredientur Aaron et filii ejus, quando movenda sunt castra, et deponent velum quod pendet ante fores, involventque eo arcam testimonii,

⁶ et operient rursum velamine janthinarum pellium, extendentque desuper pallium totum hyacinthinum, et inducent vectes.

⁷ Mensam quoque propositionis involvent hyacinthino pallio, et ponent cum ea thuribula et mortariola, cyathos et crateras ad liba fundenda : panes semper in ea erunt :

⁸ extendentque desuper pallium coccineum, quod rursum operient velamento janthinarum pellium, et inducent vectes.

⁹ Sument et pallium hyacinthinum, quo operient candelabrum cum lucernis et forcipibus suis et emunctoriis et cunctis vasis olei, quæ ad cocinnandas lucernas necessaria sunt :

¹⁰ et super omnia ponent operimentum janthinarum pellium, et inducent vectes.

¹¹ Necnon et altare aureum involvent hyacinthino vestimento, et extendent desuper operimentum janthinarum pellium, inducentque vectes.

¹² Omnia vasa, quibus ministratur in sanctuario, involvent hyacinthino pallio, et extendent desuper operimentum janthinarum pellium, inducentque vectes.

¹³ Sed et altare mundabunt cinere, et involvent illud purpureo vestimento,

¹⁴ ponentque cum eo omnia vasa, quibus in ministerio ejus utuntur, id est, ignium receptacula, fuscinulas ac tridentes, uncinos et batilla. Cuncta vasa altaris operient simul velamine janthinarum pellium, et inducent vectes.

¹⁵ Cumque involverint Aaron et filii ejus sanctuarium et omnia vasa ejus in commotione castrorum, tunc intrabunt filii Caath ut portent involuta : et non tangent vasa sanctuarii, ne moriantur. Ista sunt onera filiorum Caath in tabernaculo fœderis :

¹⁶ super quos erit Eleazar filius Aaron sacerdotis, ad cujus curam pertinet oleum ad concinnandas lucernas, et compositionis incensum, et sacrificium, quod semper offertur, et oleum unctionis, et quidquid ad cultum tabernaculi pertinet, omniumque vasorum, quæ in sanctuario sunt.

¹⁷ Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens :

¹⁸ Nolite perdere populum Caath de medio Levitarum :

¹⁹ sed hoc facite eis, ut vivant, et non moriantur, si tetigerint Sancta sanctorum. Aaron et filii ejus intrabunt, ipsique disponent opera singulorum, et divident quid portare quis debeat.

²⁰ Alii nulla curiositate videant quæ sunt in sanctuario priusquam involvantur, alioquin morientur.

²¹ Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

²² Tolle summam etiam filiorum Gerson per domos ac familias et cognationes suas,

²³ a triginta annis et supra, usque ad annos quinquaginta. Numera omnes qui ingrediuntur et ministrant in tabernaculo fœderis.

²⁴ Hoc est officium familiæ Gersonitarum,

²⁵ ut portent cortinas tabernaculi et tectum fœderis, operimentum aliud, et super omnia velamen janthinum tentoriumque quod pendet in introitu tabernaculi fœderis,

²⁶ cortinas atrii, et velum in introitu quod est ante tabernaculum. Omnia quæ ad altare pertinent, funiculos, et vasa ministerii,

²⁷ jubente Aaron et filiis ejus, portabunt filii Gerson : et scient singuli cui debeant oneri mancipari.

²⁸ Hic est cultus familiæ Gersonitarum in tabernaculo fœderis, eruntque sub manu Ithamar filii Aaron sacerdotis.

²⁹ Filios quoque Merari per familias et domos patrum suorum recensebis,

³⁰ a triginta annis et supra, usque ad annos quinquaginta, omnes qui ingrediuntur ad officium ministerii sui et cultum fœderis testimonii.

³¹ Hæc sunt onera eorum : portabunt tabulas tabernaculi et vectes ejus, columnas ac bases earum,

³² columnas quoque atrii per circuitum cum basibus et paxillis et funibus suis. Omnia vasa et supellectilem ad numerum accipient, sicque portabunt.

³³ Hoc est officium familiæ Meraritarum et ministerium in tabernaculo fœderis : eruntque sub manu Ithamar filii Aaron sacerdotis.

³⁴ Recensuerunt igitur Moyses et Aaron et principes synagogæ filios Caath per cognationes et domos patrum suorum,

³⁵ a triginta annis et supra, usque ad annum quinquagesimum, omnes qui ingrediuntur ad ministerium tabernaculi fœderis :

³⁶ et inventi sunt duo millia septingenti quinquaginta.

³⁷ Hic est numerus populi Caath qui intrant tabernaculum fœderis : hos numeravit Moyses et Aaron juxta sermonem Domini per manum Moysi.

³⁸ Numerati sunt et filii Gerson per cognationes et domos patrum suorum,

³⁹ a triginta annos et supra, usque ad quinquagesimum annum, omnes qui ingrediuntur ut ministrent in tabernaculo fœderis :

⁴⁰ et inventi sunt duo millia sexcenti triginta.

⁴¹ Hic est populus Gersonitarum, quos numeraverunt Moyses et Aaron juxta verbum Domini.

⁴² Numerati sunt et filii Merari per cognationes et domos patrum suorum,

⁴³ a triginta annis et supra, usque ad annum quinquagesimum, omnes qui ingrediuntur ad explendos ritus tabernaculi fœderis :

⁴⁴ et inventi sunt tria millia ducenti.

⁴⁵ Hic est numerus filiorum Merari, quos recensuerunt Moyses et Aaron juxta imperium Domini per manum Moysi.

⁴⁶ Omnes qui recensiti sunt de Levitis, et quos recenseri fecit ad nomen Moyses et Aaron, et principes Israël per cognationes et domos patrum suorum,

⁴⁷ a triginta annis et supra, usque ad annum quinquagesimum, ingredientes ad ministerium tabernaculi, et onera portanda,

⁴⁸ fuerunt simul octo millia quingenti octoginta.

⁴⁹ Juxta verbum Domini recensuit eos Moyses, unumquemque juxta officium et onera sua, sicut præceperat ei Dominus.

¹ After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

² Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

³ His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

⁴ For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world."

⁵ For even his brothers didn't believe in him.

⁶ Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

⁷ The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

⁸ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."

⁹ Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

¹⁰ But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

¹¹ The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"

¹² There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the multitude astray."

¹³ Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴ But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

¹⁵ The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"

¹⁶ Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

¹⁸ He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

¹⁹ Didn't Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?"

²⁰ The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?"

²¹ Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

²² Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

²³ If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

²⁴ Don't judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷ However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know.

²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"

³² The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

³³ Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

³⁴ You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come."

³⁵ The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

³⁶ What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come'?"

³⁷ Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

³⁸ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the prophet."

⁴¹ Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

⁴³ So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why didn't you bring him?"

⁴⁶ The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You aren't also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn't know the law is accursed."

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁵¹ "Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"

⁵² They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

⁵³ Everyone went to his own house,
