Numbers 3 (WEBP)

[1] Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
[2] These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
[3] These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
[4] Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh when they offered strange fire before Yahweh in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
[5] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[6] “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
[7] They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
[8] They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
[9] You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
[10] You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood, but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
[11] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[12] “Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine,
[13] for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am Yahweh.”
[14] Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
[15] “Count the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward.”
[16] Moses counted them according to Yahweh’s word, as he was commanded.
[17] These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
[18] These are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.
[19] The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
[20] The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their fathers’ houses.
[21] Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimeites. These are the families of the Gershonites.
[22] Those who were counted of them, according to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, even those who were counted of them were seven thousand five hundred.
[23] The families of the Gershonites shall encamp behind the tabernacle westward.
[24] Eliasaph the son of Lael shall be the prince of the fathers’ house of the Gershonites.
[25] The duty of the sons of Gershon in the Tent of Meeting shall be the tabernacle, the tent, its covering, the screen for the door of the Tent of Meeting,
[26] the hangings of the court, the screen for the door of the court which is by the tabernacle and around the altar, and its cords for all of its service.
[27] Of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, the family of the Izharites, the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites.
[28] According to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, there were eight thousand six hundred keeping the requirements of the sanctuary.
[29] The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the south side of the tabernacle.
[30] The prince of the fathers’ house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
[31] Their duty shall be the ark, the table, the lamp stand, the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, the screen, and all its service.
[32] Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be prince of the princes of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the requirements of the sanctuary.
[33] Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites and the family of the Mushites. These are the families of Merari.
[34] Those who were counted of them, according to the number of all the males from a month old and upward, were six thousand two hundred.
[35] The prince of the fathers’ house of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They shall encamp on the north side of the tabernacle.
[36] The appointed duty of the sons of Merari shall be the tabernacle’s boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, all its instruments, all its service,
[37] the pillars of the court around it, their sockets, their pins, and their cords.
[38] Those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, in front of the Tent of Meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, with Aaron and his sons, keeping the requirements of the sanctuary for the duty of the children of Israel. The outsider who comes near shall be put to death.
[39] All who were counted of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron counted at the commandment of Yahweh, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
[40] Yahweh said to Moses, “Count all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
[41] You shall take the Levites for me—I am Yahweh—instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel.”
[42] Moses counted, as Yahweh commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
[43] All the firstborn males according to the number of names from a month old and upward, of those who were counted of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
[44] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[45] “Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites instead of their livestock; and the Levites shall be mine. I am Yahweh.
[46] For the redemption of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the children of Israel who exceed the number of the Levites,
[47] you shall take five shekels apiece for each one; according to the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs);
[48] and you shall give the money, with which their remainder is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons.”
[49] Moses took the redemption money from those who exceeded the number of those who were redeemed by the Levites;
[50] from the firstborn of the children of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary;
[51] and Moses gave the redemption money to Aaron and to his sons, according to Yahweh’s word, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Numbers 3:12 “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.
Numbers 3:34 + 22,000 is the sum rounded to 2 significant digits. The sum of the Gershonites, Kohathites, and Merarites given above is 22,300, but the traditional Hebrew text has the number rounded to 2 significant digits, not 3 significant digits.
Numbers 3:47a A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces.
Numbers 3:47b A gerah is about 0.5 grams or about 7.7 grains.
Numbers 3:50 A shekel is about 10 grams or about 0.35 ounces, so 1365 shekels is about 13.65 kilograms or about 30 pounds.

[1] These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
[2] And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
[3] These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
[4] And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the sight of Aaron their father.
[5] And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
[6] Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
[7] And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
[8] And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
[9] And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
[10] And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
[11] And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
[12] And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
[13] because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the Lord.
[14] And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
[15] Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
[16] And Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.
[17] And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
[18] And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.
[19] And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
[20] And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.
[21] Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
[22] Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.
[23] The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.
[24] And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
[25] And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
[26] and the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
[27] And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
[28] In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
[29] The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.
[30] And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
[31] And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.
[32] And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

[35] And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.
[36] And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,
[37] and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
[38] But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
[39] All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
[40] And the Lord said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
[41] And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the Lord) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
[42] And Moses numbered, as the Lord commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
[43] And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
[44] And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
[45] Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the Lord.
[46] And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;
[47] thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)
[48] and thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
[49] And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
[50] of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
[51] and Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
