Numbers Chapter 7

Numbers 7:1Â When Moses had finished setting up the sacred tent, he dedicated it to the LORD, together with its furnishings, the altar, and its equipment.
Numbers 7:2Â Then the twelve tribal leaders of Israel, the same men who had been in charge of counting the people, came to the tent
Numbers 7:3Â with gifts for the LORD. They brought six strong carts and twelve oxen–one ox from each leader and a cart from every two.
Numbers 7:4Â The LORD said to Moses,
Numbers 7:5Â “Accept these gifts, so the Levites can use them here at the sacred tent for carrying the sacred things.”
Numbers 7:6Â Then Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites,
Numbers 7:7Â who were under the leadership of Ithamar son of Aaron. Moses gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites for their work, and four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites for their work.
Numbers 7:8Â (SEE 7:7)
Numbers 7:9Â But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites, because they were in charge of the sacred objects that had to be carried on their shoulders.
Numbers 7:10Â On the day the altar was dedicated, the twelve leaders brought offerings for its dedication.
Numbers 7:11Â The LORD said to Moses, “Each day one leader is to give his offering for the dedication.”
Numbers 7:12Â So each leader brought the following gifts: a silver bowl that weighed over three pounds and a silver sprinkling bowl weighing almost two pounds, both of them filled with flour and olive oil as grain sacrifices and weighed according to the official standards; a small gold dish filled with incense; a young bull, a full-grown ram, and a year-old ram as sacrifices to please the LORD; a goat as a sacrifice for sin; and two bulls, five full-grown rams, five goats, and five rams a year old as sacrifices to ask the LORD’s blessing. The tribal leaders brought their gifts and offerings in the following order: On the first day Nahshon from Judah, on the second day Nethanel from Issachar, on the third day Eliab from Zebulun, on the fourth day Elizur from Reuben, on the fifth day Shelumiel from Simeon, on the sixth day Eliasaph from Gad, on the seventh day Elishama from Ephraim, on the eighth day Gamaliel from Manasseh, on the ninth day Abidan from Benjamin, on the tenth day Ahiezer from Dan, on the eleventh day Pagiel from Asher, on the twelfth day Ahira from Naphtali.

Numbers Chapter 5

Numbers 5:1Â The LORD told Moses
Numbers 5:2Â to say to the people of Israel, “Put out of the camp everyone who has leprosy or a bodily discharge or who has touched a dead body. Now that I live among my people, their camp must be kept clean.”
Numbers 5:3Â (SEE 5:2)
Numbers 5:4Â The Israelites obeyed the LORD’s instructions.
Numbers 5:5Â The LORD told Moses
Numbers 5:6Â to say to the community of Israel: If any of you commit a crime against someone, you have sinned against me.
Numbers 5:7Â You must confess your guilt and pay the victim in full for whatever damage has been done, plus a fine of twenty percent.
Numbers 5:8Â If the victim has no relative who can accept this money, it belongs to me and will be paid to the priest. In addition to that payment, you must take a ram for the priest to sacrifice so your sin will be forgiven.
Numbers 5:9Â When you make a donation to the sacred tent, that money belongs only to the priest, and each priest will keep what is given to him.
Numbers 5:10Â (SEE 5:9)
Numbers 5:11Â The LORD told Moses
Numbers 5:12Â to say to the people of Israel: Suppose a man becomes jealous and suspects that his wife has been unfaithful, but he has no proof.
Numbers 5:13Â (SEE 5:12)
Numbers 5:14Â (SEE 5:12)
Numbers 5:15Â He must take his wife to the priest, together with two pounds of ground barley as an offering to find out if she is guilty. No olive oil or incense is to be put on that offering.
Numbers 5:16Â The priest is to have the woman stand at my altar,
Numbers 5:17Â where he will pour sacred water into a clay jar and stir in some dust from the floor of the sacred tent.
Numbers 5:18Â Next, he will remove her veil, then hand her the barley offering, and say, “If you have been faithful to your husband, this water won’t harm you. But if you have been unfaithful, it will bring down the LORD’s curse–you will never be able to give birth to a child, and everyone will curse your name.” Then the woman will answer, “If I am guilty, let it happen just as you say.”
Numbers 5:19Â (SEE 5:18)
Numbers 5:20Â (SEE 5:18)
Numbers 5:21Â (SEE 5:18)
Numbers 5:22Â (SEE 5:18)
Numbers 5:23Â The priest will write these curses on special paper and wash them off into the bitter water,
Numbers 5:24Â so that when the woman drinks this water, the curses will enter her body.
Numbers 5:25Â He will take the barley offering from her and lift it up in dedication to me, the LORD. Then he will place it on my altar
Numbers 5:26Â and burn part of it as a sacrifice. After that, the woman must drink the bitter water.
Numbers 5:27Â If the woman has been unfaithful, the water will immediately make her unable to have children, and she will be a curse among her people.
Numbers 5:28Â But if she is innocent, her body will not be harmed, and she will still be able to have children.
Numbers 5:29Â This is the ceremony that must take place at my altar when a husband suspects that his wife has been unfaithful. The priest must have the woman stand in my presence and carefully follow these instructions.
Numbers 5:30Â (SEE 5:29)
Numbers 5:31Â If the husband is wrong, he will not be punished; but if his wife is guilty, she will be punished.

Numbers Chapter 6

Numbers 6:1Â The LORD told Moses
Numbers 6:2Â to say to the people of Israel: If any of you want to dedicate yourself to me by vowing to become a Nazirite,
Numbers 6:3Â you must no longer drink any wine or beer or use any kind of vinegar. Don’t drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins–
Numbers 6:4Â not even the seeds or skins.
Numbers 6:5Â Even the hair of a Nazirite is sacred to me, and as long as you are a Nazirite, you must never cut your hair.
Numbers 6:6Â During the time that you are a Nazirite, you must never go close to a dead body,
Numbers 6:7Â not even that of your father, mother, brother, or sister. That would make you unclean. Your hair is the sign that you are dedicated to me, so remain holy.
Numbers 6:8Â (SEE 6:7)
Numbers 6:9Â If someone suddenly dies near you, your hair is no longer sacred, and you must shave it seven days later during the ceremony to make you clean.
Numbers 6:10Â Then on the next day, bring two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the sacred tent.
Numbers 6:11Â He will offer one of the birds as a sacrifice for sin and the other as a sacrifice to please me. You will then be forgiven for being too near a dead body, and your hair will again become sacred.
Numbers 6:12Â But the dead body made you unacceptable, so you must make another vow to become a Nazirite and be dedicated once more. Finally, a year-old ram must be offered as the sacrifice to make things right.
Numbers 6:13Â When you have completed your promised time of being a Nazirite, go to the sacred tent
Numbers 6:14Â and offer three animals that have nothing wrong with them: a year-old ram as a sacrifice to please me, a year-old female lamb as a sacrifice for sin, and a full-grown ram as a sacrifice to ask my blessing.
Numbers 6:15Â Wine offerings and grain sacrifices must also be brought with these animals. Finally, you are to bring a basket of bread made with your finest flour and olive oil, but without yeast. Also bring some thin wafers brushed with oil.
Numbers 6:16Â The priest will take these gifts to my altar and offer them, so that I will be pleased and will forgive you.
Numbers 6:17Â Then he will sacrifice the ram and offer the wine, grain, and bread.
Numbers 6:18Â After that, you will stand at the entrance to the sacred tent, shave your head, and put the hair in the fire where the priest has offered the sacrifice to ask my blessing.
Numbers 6:19Â Once the meat from the ram’s shoulder has been boiled, the priest will take it, along with one loaf of bread and one wafer brushed with oil, and give them to you.
Numbers 6:20Â You will hand them back to the priest, who will lift them up in dedication to me. Then he can eat the meat from the ram’s shoulder, its choice ribs, and its hind leg, because this is his share of the sacrifice. After this, you will no longer be a Nazirite and will be free to drink wine.
Numbers 6:21Â These are the requirements for Nazirites. However, if you can afford to offer more, you must do so.
Numbers 6:22Â The LORD told Moses,
Numbers 6:23Â “When Aaron and his sons bless the people of Israel, they must say:
Numbers 6:24Â I pray that the LORD will bless and protect you,
Numbers 6:25Â and that he will show you mercy and kindness.
Numbers 6:26Â May the LORD be good to you and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:27Â Then the LORD said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israelites, I will give them my blessing.”

Today we read from

Numbers Chapter 3

Numbers 3:1Â When the LORD talked with Moses on Mount Sinai,
Numbers 3:2Â Aaron’s four sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar,
Numbers 3:3Â were the ones to be ordained as priests.
Numbers 3:4Â But the LORD killed Nadab and Abihu in the Sinai Desert when they used fire that was unacceptable in their offering to the LORD. And because Nadab and Abihu had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests with their father Aaron.
Numbers 3:5Â The LORD said to Moses:
Numbers 3:6Â Assign the Levi tribe to Aaron the priest. They will be his assistants
Numbers 3:7Â and will work at the sacred tent for him and for all the Israelites.
Numbers 3:8Â The Levites will serve the community by being responsible for the furnishings of the tent.
Numbers 3:9Â They are assigned to help Aaron and his sons,
Numbers 3:10Â who have been appointed to be priests. Anyone else who tries to perform the duties of a priest must be put to death.
Numbers 3:11Â Moses, I have chosen these Levites from all Israel, and they will belong to me in a special way. When I killed the first-born sons of the Egyptians, I decided that the first-born sons in every Israelite family and the first-born males of their flocks and herds would be mine. But now I accept these Levites in place of the first-born sons of the Israelites.
Numbers 3:12Â (SEE 3:11)
Numbers 3:13Â (SEE 3:11)
Numbers 3:14Â In the Sinai Desert the LORD said to Moses,
Numbers 3:15Â “Now I want you to count the men and boys in the Levi tribe by families and by clans. Include every one at least a month old.”
Numbers 3:16Â So Moses obeyed and counted them.
Numbers 3:17Â Levi’s three sons, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, had become the heads of their own clans.
Numbers 3:18Â Gershon’s sons were Libni and Shimei.
Numbers 3:19Â Kohath’s sons were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Numbers 3:20Â And Merari’s sons were Mahli and Mushi. These were the sons and grandsons of Levi, and they had become the leaders of the Levite clans.
Numbers 3:21Â The two Gershon clans were the Libnites and Shimeites,
Numbers 3:22Â and they had seven thousand five hundred men and boys at least one month old.
Numbers 3:23Â The Gershonites were to camp on the west side of the sacred tent,
Numbers 3:24Â under the leadership of Eliasaph son of Lael.
Numbers 3:25Â Their duties at the tent included taking care of the tent itself, along with its outer covering, the curtain for the entrance,
Numbers 3:26Â the curtains hanging inside the courtyard around the tent, as well as the curtain and ropes for the entrance to the courtyard and its altar. The Gershonites were responsible for setting these things up and taking them down.
Numbers 3:27Â The four Kohath clans were the Amramites, Izharites, Hebronites, and the Uzzielites,
Numbers 3:28Â and they had eight thousand six hundred men and boys at least one month old.
Numbers 3:29Â The Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the sacred tent,
Numbers 3:30Â under the leadership of Elizaphan son of Uzziel.
Numbers 3:31Â Their duties at the tent included taking care of the sacred chest, the table for the sacred bread, the lampstand, the altars, the objects used for worship, and the curtain in front of the most holy place. The Kohathites were responsible for setting these things up and taking them down.
Numbers 3:32Â Eleazar son of Aaron was the head of the Levite leaders, and he made sure that the work at the sacred tent was done.
Numbers 3:33Â The two Merari clans were the Mahlites and the Mushites,
Numbers 3:34Â and they had six thousand two hundred men and boys at least one month old.
Numbers 3:35Â The Merarites were to camp on the north side of the sacred tent, under the leadership of Zuriel son of Abihail.
Numbers 3:36Â Their duties included taking care of the tent frames and the pieces that held the tent up: the bars, the posts, the stands, and its other equipment. They were also in charge of the posts that supported the courtyard, as well as their stands, tent pegs, and ropes. The Merari clans were responsible for setting these things up and taking them down.
Numbers 3:37Â (SEE 3:36)
Numbers 3:38Â Moses, Aaron, and his sons were to camp in front of the sacred tent, on the east side, and to make sure that the Israelites worshiped in the proper way. Anyone else who tried to do the work of Moses and Aaron was to be put to death.
Numbers 3:39Â So Moses and Aaron obeyed the LORD and counted the Levites by their clans. The total number of Levites at least one month old was twenty-two thousand.
Numbers 3:40Â The LORD said to Moses, “Make a list and count the first-born sons at least one month old in each of the Israelite families.
Numbers 3:41Â They belong to me, but I will accept the Levites as substitutes for them, and I will accept the Levites’ livestock as substitutes for the Israelites’ first-born livestock.”
Numbers 3:42Â Moses obeyed the LORD and counted the first-born sons;
Numbers 3:43Â there were 22,273 of them.
Numbers 3:44Â Then the LORD said,
Numbers 3:45Â “The Levites will belong to me and will take the place of the first-born sons; their livestock will take the place of the Israelites’ first-born livestock.
Numbers 3:46Â But since there are more first-born sons than Levites, the extra two hundred seventy-three men and boys must be bought back from me.
Numbers 3:47Â For each one, you are to collect five pieces of silver, weighed according to the official standards.
Numbers 3:48Â This money must then be given to Aaron and his sons.”
Numbers 3:49Â Moses collected the silver from the extra two hundred seventy-three first-born men and boys,
Numbers 3:50Â and it amounted to one thousand three hundred sixty-five pieces of silver, weighed according to the official standards.
Numbers 3:51Â Then he gave it to Aaron and his sons, just as the LORD had commanded.

Numbers Chapter 4

Numbers 4:1Â The LORD told Moses and Aaron:
Numbers 4:2Â Find out how many men between the ages of thirty and fifty are in the four Levite clans of Kohath. Count only those who are able to work at the sacred tent.
Numbers 4:3Â (SEE 4:2)
Numbers 4:4Â The Kohathites will be responsible for carrying the sacred objects used in worship at the sacred tent.
Numbers 4:5Â When the Israelites are ready to move their camp, Aaron and his sons will enter the tent and take down the curtain that separates the sacred chest from the rest of the tent. They will cover the chest with this curtain,
Numbers 4:6Â and then with a piece of fine leather, and cover it all with a solid blue cloth. After this they will put the carrying poles in place.
Numbers 4:7Â Next, Aaron and his sons will use another blue cloth to cover the table for the sacred bread. On the cloth they will place the dishes, the bowls for incense, the cups, the jugs for wine, as well as the bread itself.
Numbers 4:8Â They are to cover all of this with a bright red cloth, and then with a piece of fine leather, before putting the carrying poles in place.
Numbers 4:9Â With another blue cloth they will cover the lampstand, along with the lamps, the lamp snuffers, the fire pans, and the jars of oil for the lamps.
Numbers 4:10Â All of this will then be covered with a piece of fine leather and placed on a carrying frame.
Numbers 4:11Â The gold incense altar is to be covered with a blue cloth, and then with a piece of fine leather, before its carrying poles are put in place.
Numbers 4:12Â Next, Aaron and his sons will take blue cloth and wrap all the objects used in worship at the sacred tent. These will need to be covered with a piece of fine leather, then placed on a carrying frame.
Numbers 4:13Â They are to remove the ashes from the bronze altar and cover it with a purple cloth.
Numbers 4:14Â On that cloth will be placed the utensils used at the altar, including the fire pans, the meat forks, the shovels, and the sprinkling bowls. All of this will then be covered with a piece of fine leather, before the carrying poles are put in place.
Numbers 4:15Â When the camp is ready to be moved, the Kohathites will be responsible for carrying the sacred objects and the furnishings of the sacred tent. But Aaron and his sons must have already covered those things so the Kohathites won’t touch them and die.
Numbers 4:16Â Eleazar son of Aaron the priest will be in charge of the oil for the lamps, the sweet-smelling incense, the grain for the sacrifices, and the olive oil used for dedications and ordinations. Eleazar is responsible for seeing that the sacred tent, its furnishings, and the sacred objects are taken care of.
Numbers 4:17Â The Kohathites must not go near or even look at the sacred objects until Aaron and his sons have covered those objects. If they do, their entire clan will be wiped out. So make sure that Aaron and his sons go into the tent with them and tell them what to carry.
Numbers 4:18Â (SEE 4:17)
Numbers 4:19Â (SEE 4:17)
Numbers 4:20Â (SEE 4:17)
Numbers 4:21Â The LORD said to Moses:
Numbers 4:22Â Find out how many men between the ages of thirty and fifty are in the two Levite clans of Gershon. Count only those who are able to work at the sacred tent.
Numbers 4:23Â (SEE 4:22)
Numbers 4:24Â The Gershonites will be responsible
Numbers 4:25Â for carrying the curtains of the sacred tent, its two outer coverings, the curtain for the entrance to the tent,
Numbers 4:26Â the curtains hanging around the courtyard of the tent, and the curtain and ropes for the entrance to the courtyard. The Gershonites are to do whatever needs to be done to take care of these things,
Numbers 4:27Â and they will carry them wherever Aaron and his sons tell them to.
Numbers 4:28Â These are the duties of the Gershonites at the sacred tent, and Ithamar son of Aaron will make sure they do their work.
Numbers 4:29Â The LORD said: Moses, find out how many men between thirty and fifty are in the two Levite clans of Merari, but count only those who are able to work at the sacred tent.
Numbers 4:30Â (SEE 4:29)
Numbers 4:31Â The Merarites will be responsible for carrying the frames of the tent and its other pieces, including the bars, the posts, the stands,
Numbers 4:32Â as well as the posts that support the courtyard, together with their stands, tent pegs, and ropes. The Merarites are to be told exactly what objects they are to carry,
Numbers 4:33Â and Ithamar son of Aaron will make sure they do their work.
Numbers 4:34Â Moses, Aaron, and the other Israelite leaders obeyed the LORD and counted the Levi tribe by families and clans, to find out how many men there were between the ages of thirty and fifty who could work at the sacred tent. There were two thousand seven hundred fifty Kohathites, two thousand six hundred thirty Gershonites, and three thousand two hundred Merarites, making a total of eight thousand five hundred eighty. Then they were all assigned their duties.

Numbers Chapter 1

Numbers 1:1Â The people of Israel had left Egypt and were living in the Sinai Desert. Then on the first day of the second month of the second year, Moses was in the sacred tent when the LORD said:
Numbers 1:2Â I want you and Aaron to find out how many people are in each of Israel’s clans and families. And make a list of all the men twenty years and older who are able to fight in battle.
Numbers 1:3Â (SEE 1:2)
Numbers 1:4Â The following twelve family leaders, one from each tribe, will help you: Elizur son of Shedeur from Reuben, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai from Simeon, Nahshon son of Amminadab from Judah, Nethanel son of Zuar from Issachar, Eliab son of Helon from Zebulun, Elishama son of Ammihud from Ephraim, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur from Manasseh, Abidan son of Gideoni from Benjamin, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai from Dan, Pagiel son of Ochran from Asher, Eliasaph son of Deuel from Gad, and Ahira son of Enan from Naphtali.

Numbers 1:47Â But those from the Levi tribe were not included
Numbers 1:48Â because the LORD had said to Moses:
Numbers 1:49Â When you count the Israelites, do not include those from the Levi tribe.
Numbers 1:50Â Instead, give them the job of caring for the sacred tent, its furnishings, and the objects used for worship. They will camp around the tent, and whenever you move, they will take it down, carry it to the new camp, and set it up again. Anyone else who tries to go near it must be put to death.
Numbers 1:51Â (SEE 1:50)
Numbers 1:52Â The rest of the Israelites will camp in their own groups and under their own banners.
Numbers 1:53Â But the Levites will camp around the sacred tent to make sure that no one goes near it and makes me furious with the Israelites.
Numbers 1:54Â The people of Israel did everything the LORD had commanded.
