1Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
1Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2Tolle summam filiorum Caath de medio Levitarum per domos et familias suas,
2“Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,
3a trigesimo anno et supra, usque ad quinquagesimum annum, omnium qui ingrediuntur ut stent et ministrent in tabernaculo fœderis.
3men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
4Hic est cultus filiorum Caath: tabernaculum fœderis, et Sanctum sanctorum
4This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.
5ingredientur Aaron et filii ejus, quando movenda sunt castra, et deponent velum quod pendet ante fores, involventque eo arcam testimonii,
5Whenever the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the veil of the curtain, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.
6et operient rursum velamine janthinarum pellium, extendentque desuper pallium totum hyacinthinum, et inducent vectes.
6They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.
7Mensam quoque propositionis involvent hyacinthino pallio, et ponent cum ea thuribula et mortariola, cyathos et crateras ad liba fundenda: panes semper in ea erunt:
7Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and place the plates and cups on it, along with the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to remain on it.
8extendentque desuper pallium coccineum, quod rursum operient velamento janthinarum pellium, et inducent vectes.
8And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.
9Sument et pallium hyacinthinum, quo operient candelabrum cum lucernis et forcipibus suis et emunctoriis et cunctis vasis olei, quæ ad concinnandas lucernas necessaria sunt:
9They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, together with its lamps, wick trimmers, and trays, as well as the jars of oil with which to supply it.
10et super omnia ponent operimentum janthinarum pellium, et inducent vectes.
10Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.
11Necnon et altare aureum involvent hyacinthino vestimento, et extendent desuper operimentum janthinarum pellium, inducentque vectes.
11Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.
12Omnia vasa, quibus ministratur in sanctuario, involvent hyacinthino pallio, et extendent desuper operimentum janthinarum pellium, inducentque vectes.
12They are to take all the utensils for serving in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and put them on the carrying frame.
13Sed et altare mundabunt cinere, et involvent illud purpureo vestimento,
13Then they shall remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,
14ponentque 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.
14and place on it all the vessels used to serve there: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls—all the equipment of the altar. They are to spread over it a covering of fine leather and insert the poles.
15Cumque 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:
15When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their equipment, as soon as the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites shall come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting.
16super 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.
16Eleazar son of Aaron the priest shall oversee the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including the holy objects and their utensils.”
17Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:
17Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
18Nolite perdere populum Caath de medio Levitarum:
18“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites.
19sed 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.
19In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry.
20Alii nulla curiositate videant quæ sunt in sanctuario priusquam involvantur, alioquin morientur.
20But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
21Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
21And the LORD said to Moses,
22Tolle summam etiam filiorum Gerson per domos ac familias et cognationes suas,
22“Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,
23a triginta annis et supra, usque ad annos quinquaginta. Numera omnes qui ingrediuntur et ministrant in tabernaculo fœderis.

25They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting with the covering of fine leather over it, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
