¹ Hæ sunt generationes Aaron et Moysi in die qua locutus est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai.

² Et hæc nomina filiorum Aaron : primogenitus ejus Nadab, deinde Abiu, et Eleazar, et Ithamar.

³ Hæc nomina filiorum Aaron sacerdotum qui uncti sunt, et quorum repletæ et consecratæ manus ut sacerdotio fungerentur.

⁴ Mortui sunt enim Nadab et Abiu cum offerrent ignem alienum in conspectu Domini in deserto Sinai, absque liberis : functique sunt sacerdotio Eleazar et Ithamar coram Aaron patre suo.

⁵ Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

⁶ Applica tribum Levi, et fac stare in conspectu Aaron sacerdotis ut ministrent ei, et excubent,

⁷ et observent quidquid ad cultum pertinet multitudinis coram tabernaculo testimonii,

⁸ et custodiant vasa tabernaculi, servientes in ministerio ejus.

⁹ Dabisque dono Levitas

¹⁰ Aaron et filiis ejus, quibus traditi sunt a filiis Israël. Aaron autem et filios ejus constitues super cultum sacerdotii. Externus, qui ad ministrandum accesserit, morietur.

¹¹ Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

¹² Ego tuli Levitas a filiis Israël pro omni primogenito, qui aperit vulvam in filiis Israël, eruntque Levitæ mei.

¹³ Meum est enim omne primogenitum : ex quo percussi primogenitos in terra Ægypti, sanctificavi mihi quidquid primum nascitur in Israël : ab homine usque ad pecus, mei sunt. Ego Dominus.

¹⁴ Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai, dicens :

¹⁵ Numera filios Levi per domos patrum suorum et familias, omnem masculum ab uno mense et supra.

¹⁶ Numeravit Moyses, ut præceperat Dominus,

¹⁷ et inventi sunt filii Levi per nomina sua, Gerson et Caath et Merari.

¹⁸ Filii Gerson : Lebni et Semei.

¹⁹ Filii Caath : Amram et Jesaar, Hebron et Oziel.

²⁰ Filii Merari : Moholi et Musi.

²¹ De Gerson fuere familiæ duæ, Lebnitica, et Semeitica :

²² quarum numeratus est populus sexus masculini ab uno mense et supra, septem millia quingenti.

²³ Hi post tabernaculum metabuntur ad occidentem,

²⁴ sub principe Eliasaph filio Laël.

²⁵ Et habebunt excubias in tabernaculo fœderis,

²⁶ ipsum tabernaculum et operimentum ejus, tentorium quod trahitur ante fores tecti fœderis, et cortinas atrii : tentorium quoque quod appenditur in introitu atrii tabernaculi, et quidquid ad ritum altaris pertinet, funes tabernaculi et omnia utensilia ejus.

²⁷ Cognatio Caath habebit populos Amramitas et Jesaaritas et Hebronitas et Ozielitas. Hæ sunt familiæ Caathitarum recensitæ per nomina sua.

²⁸ Omnes generis masculini ab uno mense et supra, octo millia sexcenti habebunt excubias sanctuarii,

²⁹ et castrametabuntur ad meridianam plagam.

³⁰ Princepsque eorum erit Elisaphan filius Oziel :

³¹ et custodient arcam, mensamque et candelabrum, altaria et vasa sanctuarii, in quibus ministratur, et velum, cunctamque hujuscemodi supellectilem.

³² Princeps autem principum Levitarum Eleazar filius Aaron sacerdotis, erit super excubitores custodiæ sanctuarii.

³³ At vero de Merari erunt populi Moholitæ et Musitæ recensiti per nomina sua :

³⁴ omnes generis masculini ab uno mense et supra, sex millia ducenti.

³⁵ Princeps eorum Suriel filius Abihaiel : in plaga septentrionali castrametabuntur.

³⁶ Erunt sub custodia eorum tabulæ tabernaculi et vectes, et columnæ ac bases earum, et omnia quæ ad cultum hujuscemodi pertinent :

³⁷ columnæque atrii per circuitum cum basibus suis, et paxilli cum funibus.

³⁸ Castrametabuntur ante tabernaculum fœderis, id est, ad orientalem plagam, Moyses et Aaron cum filiis suis, habentes custodiam sanctuarii in medio filiorum Israël. Quisquis alienus accesserit, morietur.

³⁹ Omnes Levitæ, quos numeraverunt Moyses et Aaron juxta præceptum Domini per familias suas in genere masculino a mense uno et supra, fuerunt viginti duo millia.

⁴⁰ Et ait Dominus ad Moysen : Numera primogenitos sexus masculini de filiis Israël ab uno mense et supra, et habebis summam eorum.

⁴¹ Tollesque Levitas mihi pro omni primogenito filiorum Israël : ego sum Dominus : et pecora eorum pro universis primogenitis pecorum filiorum Israël.

⁴² Recensuit Moyses, sicut præceperat Dominus, primogenitos filiorum Israël :

⁴³ et fuerunt masculi per nomina sua, a mense uno et supra, viginti duo millia ducenti septuaginta tres.

⁴⁴ Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

⁴⁵ Tolle Levitas pro primogenitis filiorum Israël, et pecora Levitarum pro pecoribus eorum, eruntque Levitæ mei. Ego sum Dominus.

⁴⁶ In pretio autem ducentorum septuaginta trium, qui excedunt numerum Levitarum de primogenitis filiorum Israël,

⁴⁷ accipies quinque siclos per singula capita ad mensuram sanctuarii (siclus habet viginti obolos) :

⁴⁸ dabisque pecuniam Aaron et filiis ejus pretium eorum qui supra sunt.

⁴⁹ Tulit igitur Moyses pecuniam eorum, qui fuerant amplius, et quos redemerant a Levitis,

⁵⁰ pro primogenitis filiorum Israël, mille trecentorum sexaginta quinque siclorum juxta pondus sanctuarii :

⁵¹ et dedit eam Aaron et filiis ejus juxta verbum quod præceperat sibi Dominus.

¹ "'This is the law of the trespass offering. It is most holy.

² In the place where they kill the burnt offering, he shall kill the trespass offering; and its blood he shall sprinkle around on the altar.

³ He shall offer all of its fat: the fat tail, and the fat that covers the innards,

⁴ and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, shall he take away;

⁵ and the priest shall burn them on the altar for an offering made by fire to Yahweh: it is a trespass offering.

⁶ Every male among the priests may eat of it. It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

⁷ "'As is the sin offering, so is the trespass offering; there is one law for them. The priest who makes atonement with them shall have it.

⁸ The priest who offers any man's burnt offering, even the priest shall have for himself the skin of the burnt offering which he has offered.

⁹ Every meal offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is dressed in the pan, and on the griddle, shall be the priest's who offers it.

¹⁰ Every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, belongs to all the sons of Aaron, one as well as another.

¹¹ "'This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which one shall offer to Yahweh.

¹² If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mixed with oil.

¹³ With cakes of leavened bread he shall offer his offering with the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving.

¹⁴ Of it he shall offer one out of each offering for a heave offering to Yahweh. It shall be the priest's who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

¹⁵ The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning.

¹⁶ "'But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow, or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice; and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten:

¹⁷ but what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.

¹⁸ If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed to him who offers it. It will be an abomination, and the soul who eats any of it will bear his iniquity.

¹⁹ "'The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned with fire. As for the flesh, everyone who is clean may eat it;

²⁰ but the soul who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that belongs to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people.

²¹ When anyone touches any unclean thing, the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal, or any unclean abomination, and eats some of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which belong to Yahweh, that soul shall be cut off from his people.'"

²² Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²³ "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'You shall eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or goat.

²⁴ The fat of that which dies of itself, and the fat of that which is torn of animals, may be used for any other service, but you shall in no way eat of it.

²⁵ For whoever eats the fat of the animal, of which men offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, even the soul who eats it shall be cut off from his people.

²⁶ You shall not eat any blood, whether it is of bird or of animal, in any of your dwellings.

²⁷ Whoever it is who eats any blood, that soul shall be cut off from his people.'"

²⁸ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁹ "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh out of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

³⁰ With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before Yahweh.

³¹ The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.

³² The right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

³³ He among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion.

³⁴ For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel.'"

³⁵ This is the anointing portion of Aaron, and the anointing portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to Yahweh in the priest's office;

³⁶ which Yahweh commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations.

³⁷ This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of peace offerings;

³⁸ which Yahweh commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to Yahweh, in the wilderness of Sinai.
