Parshat Naso
Numbers 4:21-7:89
4:21
And the LORD spoke unto Moses saying: 4:22 'Take the sum of the sons
of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families; 4:23
from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou
number them: all that enter in to wait upon the service, to do
service in the tent of meeting. 4:24 This is the service of the
families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens: 4:25
they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of
meeting, its covering, and the covering of sealskin that is above
upon it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting; 4:26 and
the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of
the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about,
and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and
whatsoever there may be to do with them, therein shall they serve.
4:27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the
service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in
all their service; and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their
burden. 4:28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the
Gershonites in the tent of meeting; and their charge shall be under
the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
4:29 As for
the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them by their families, by
their fathers' houses; 4:30 from thirty years old and upward even
unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth
upon the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting. 4:31 And
this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in
the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars
thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof; 4:32 and
the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their
pins, and their cords, even all their appurtenance, and all that
pertaineth to their service; and by name ye shall appoint the
instruments of the charge of their burden. 4:33 This is the service
of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their
service, in the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of
Aaron the priest.'
4:34 And Moses and Aaron and the princes
of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their
families, and by their fathers' houses, 4:35 from thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered upon the
service, for service in the tent of meeting. 4:36 And those that were
numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred
and fifty. 4:37 These are they that were numbered of the families of
the Kohathites, of all that did serve in the tent of meeting, whom
Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by
the hand of Moses.
4:38 And those that were numbered of the
sons of Gershon, by their families, and by their fathers' houses,
4:39 from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
every one that entered upon the service, for service in the tent of
meeting, 4:40 even those that were numbered of them, by their
families, by their fathers' houses, were two thousand and six hundred
and thirty. 4:41 These are they that were numbered of the families of
the sons of Gershon, of all that did serve in the tent of meeting,
whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of the
LORD.
4:42 And those that were numbered of the families of
the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers' houses, 4:43
from thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old, every one
that entered upon the service, for service in the tent of meeting,
4:44 even those that were numbered of them by their families, were
three thousand and two hundred. 4:45 These are they that were
numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron
numbered according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of
Moses.
4:46 All those that were numbered of the Levites,
whom Moses and Aaron and the princes of Israel numbered, by their
families, and by their fathers' houses, 4:47 from thirty years old
and upward even unto fifty years old, every one that entered in to do
the work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of
meeting, 4:48 even those that were numbered of them, were eight
thousand and five hundred and fourscore. 4:49 According to the
commandment of the LORD they were appointed by the hand of Moses,
every one to his service, and to his burden; they were also numbered,
as the LORD commanded Moses.
5:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 5:2 'Command the children of
Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that
hath an issue, and whosoever is unclean by the dead; 5:3 both male
and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that
they defile not their camp, in the midst whereof I dwell.' 5:4 And
the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp; as
the LORD spoke unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5:5 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 5:6 Speak unto the
children of Israel: When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men
commit, to commit a trespass against the LORD, and that soul be
guilty; 5:7 then they shall confess their sin which they have done;
and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, and add unto it
the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him in respect of whom he
hath been guilty. 5:8 But if the man have no kinsman to whom
restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt
which is made shall be the LORD'S, even the priest's; besides the ram
of the atonement, whereby atonement shall be made for him. 5:9 And
every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of
Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his. 5:10 And
every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth
the priest, it shall be his.
5:11 and the LORD spoke unto
Moses, saying: 5:12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them: If any man's wife go aside, and act unfaithfully against him,
5:13 and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of
her husband, she being defiled secretly, and there be no witness
against her, neither she be taken in the act; 5:14 and the spirit of
jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be
defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be
jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled; 5:15 then shall the man
bring his wife unto the priest, and shall bring her offering for her,
the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon
it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is a meal-offering of
jealousy, a meal-offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to
remembrance. 5:16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her
before the LORD. 5:17 And the priest shall take holy water in an
earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the
tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water. 5:18 And
the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and let the hair of
the woman's head go loose, and put the meal-offering of memorial in
her hands, which is the meal-offering of jealousy; and the priest
shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that causeth the
curse. 5:19 And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say
unto the woman: 'If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not
gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from
this water of bitterness that causeth the curse; 5:20 but if thou
hast gone aside, being under thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and
some man have lain with thee besides thy husband-- 5:21 then the
priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and
the priest shall say unto the woman--the LORD make thee a curse and
an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to fall
away, and thy belly to swell; 5:22 and this water that causeth the
curse shall go into thy bowels, and make thy belly to swell, and thy
thigh to fall away'; and the woman shall say: 'Amen, Amen.' 5:23 And
the priest shall write these curses in a scroll, and he shall blot
them out into the water of bitterness. 5:24 And he shall make the
woman drink the water of bitterness that causeth the curse; and the
water that causeth the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
5:25 And the priest shall take the meal-offering of jealousy out of
the woman's hand, and shall wave the meal-offering before the LORD,
and bring it unto the altar. 5:26 And the priest shall take a handful
of the meal-offering, as the memorial-part thereof, and make it smoke
upon the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
5:27 And when he hath made her drink the water, then it shall come to
pass, if she be defiled, and have acted unfaithfully against her
husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her
and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall
fall away; and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 5:28 And
if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be cleared,
and shall conceive seed. 5:29 This is the law of jealousy, when a
wife, being under her husband, goeth aside, and is defiled; 5:30 or
when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he be jealous over
his wife; then shall he set the woman before the LORD, and the priest
shall execute upon her all this law. 5:31 And the man shall be clear
from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.
6:1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 6:2 Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them: When either man or woman shall clearly
utter a vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to consecrate himself unto the
LORD, 6:3 he shall abstain from wine and strong drink: he shall drink
no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he
drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried. 6:4 All
the days of his Naziriteship shall he eat nothing that is made of the
grape-vine, from the pressed grapes even to the grapestone. 6:5 All
the days of his vow of Naziriteship there shall no razor come upon
his head; until the days be fulfilled, in which he consecrateth
himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, he shall let the locks of
the hair of his head grow long. 6:6 All the days that he consecrateth
himself unto the LORD he shall not come near to a dead body. 6:7 He
shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for
his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his
consecration unto God is upon his head. 6:8 All the days of his
Naziriteship he is holy unto the LORD. 6:9 And if any man die very
suddenly beside him, and he defile his consecrated head, then he
shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day
shall he shave it. 6:10 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. 6:11 And the priest shall prepare one for a
sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make atonement
for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead; and he shall
hallow his head that same day. 6:12 And he shall consecrate unto the
LORD the days of his Naziriteship, and shall bring a he-lamb of the
first year for a guilt-offering; but the former days shall be void,
because his consecration was defiled.
6:13 And this is the
law of the Nazirite, when the days of his consecration are fulfilled:
he shall (f1) bring it unto the door of the tent of meeting;
(Footnote 1: That is, bring his consecrated head [come with his
consecrated hair unshaven]) 6:14 and he shall present his offering
unto the LORD, one he-lamb of the first year without blemish for a
burnt-offering, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish
for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for peace-offerings,
6:15 and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled
with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and their
meal-offering, and their drink-offerings. 6:16 And the priest shall
bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his
burnt-offering. 6:17 And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of
peace-offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread;
the priest shall offer also the meal-offering thereof, and the
drink-offering thereof. 6:18 And the Nazirite shall shave his
consecrated head at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take
the hair of his consecrated head, and put it on the fire which is
under the sacrifice of peace-offerings. 6:19 And the priest shall
take the shoulder of the ram when it is sodden, and one unleavened
cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them
upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven his consecrated
head. 6:20 And the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before
the LORD; this is holy for the priest, together with the breast of
waving and the thigh of heaving; and after that the Nazirite may
drink wine. 6:21 This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth, and of
his offering unto the LORD for his Naziriteship, beside that for
which his means suffice; according to his vow which he voweth, so he
must do after the law of his Naziriteship.
6:22 And the LORD
spoke unto Moses, saying: 6:23 'Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons,
saying: On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel; ye shall
say unto them:
6:24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee;
6:25 The LORD make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto
thee;
6:26 The LORD lift up His countenance upon thee, and
give thee peace.
6:27 So shall they put My name upon the
children of Israel, and I will bless them.'
7:1
And it came to pass on the day that Moses had made an end of setting
up the tabernacle, and had anointed it and sanctified it, and all the
furniture thereof, and the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had
anointed them and sanctified them; 7:2 that the princes of Israel,
the heads of their fathers' houses, offered--these were the princes
of the tribes, these are they that were over them that were numbered.
7:3 And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered
wagons, and twelve oxen: a wagon for every two of the princes, and
for each one an ox; and they presented them before the tabernacle.
7:4 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 7:5 'Take it of them, that
they may be to do the service of the tent of meeting; and thou shalt
give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.'
7:6 And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto the
Levites. 7:7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of
Gershon, according to their service. 7:8 And four wagons and eight
oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari, according unto their service,
under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 7:9 But unto
the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the holy
things belonged unto them: they bore them upon their shoulders. 7:10
And the princes brought the dedication-offering of the altar in the
day that it was anointed, even the princes brought their offering
before the altar. 7:11 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'They shall
present their offering each prince on his day, for the dedication of
the altar.'
