The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD'S; it is holy unto the LORD.

And if a man will redeem aught of his tithe, he shall add unto it the fifth part thereof.

And all the tithe of the herd or the flock, whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.

He shall not inquire whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it; and if he change it at all, then both it and that for which it is changed shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

AND THE LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying:

'Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, every male, by their polls;

from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: ye shall number them by their hosts, even thou and Aaron.

And with you there shall be a man of every tribe, every one head of his fathers' house.

And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: of Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur.

Of Simeon, Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

Of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

Of Issachar, Nethanel the son of Zuar.

Of Zebulun, Eliab the son of Helon.

Of the children of Joseph: of Ephraim, Elishama the son of Ammihud; of Manasseh, Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

Of Benjamin, Abidan the son of Gideoni.

Of Dan, Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

Of Asher, Pagiel the son of Ochran.

Of Gad, Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

Of Naphtali, Ahira the son of Enan.'

These were the elect of the congregation, the princes of the tribes of their fathers; they were the heads of the thousands of Israel.

And Moses and Aaron took these men that are pointed out by name.

And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.

As the LORD commanded Moses, so did he number them in the wilderness of Sinai.

And the children of Reuben, Israel's first-born, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, by their polls, every male from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

those that were numbered of them, of the tribe of Judah, were threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.

Of the children of Issachar, their generations, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war;

These are those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron numbered, and the princes of Israel, being twelve men; they were each one for his fathers' house.

And all those that were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and upward, all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;

even all those that were numbered were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

'Howbeit the tribe of Levi thou shalt not number, neither shalt thou take the sum of them among the children of Israel;

but appoint thou the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof, and over all that belongeth to it; they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the furniture thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the tabernacle.

And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up; and the common man that draweth nigh shall be put to death.

And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man with his own camp, and every man with his own standard, according to their hosts.

But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.'

Thus did the children of Israel; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

'The children of Israel shall pitch by their fathers' houses; every man with his own standard, according to the ensigns; a good way off shall they pitch round about the tent of meeting.

Now those that pitch on the east side toward the sunrising shall be they of the standard of the camp of Judah, according to their hosts; the prince of the children of Judah being Nahshon the son of Amminadab,

and his host, and those that were numbered of them, threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred;

and those that pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Issachar; the prince of the children of Issachar being Nethanel the son of Zuar,

and his host, even those that were numbered thereof, fifty and four thousand and four hundred;

and the tribe of Zebulun; the prince of the children of Zebulun being Eliab the son of Helon,

and his host, and those that were numbered thereof, fifty and seven thousand and four hundred;

all that were numbered of the camp of Judah being a hundred thousand and fourscore thousand and six thousand and four hundred, according to their hosts; they shall set forth first.

On the south side shall be the standard of the camp of Reuben according to their hosts; the prince of the children of Reuben being Elizur the son of Shedeur,

and his host, and those that were numbered thereof, forty and six thousand and five hundred;

and those that pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Simeon; the prince of the children of Simeon being Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai,

and his host, and those that were numbered of them, fifty and nine thousand and three hundred;

and the tribe of Gad; the prince of the children of Gad being Eliasaph the son of Reuel,

and his host, even those that were numbered of them, forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty;

all that were numbered of the camp of Reuben being a hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty, according to their hosts; and they shall set forth second.

Then the tent of meeting, with the camp of the Levites, shall set forward in the midst of the camps; as they encamp, so shall they set forward, every man in his place, by their standards.

On the west side shall be the standard of the camp of Ephraim according to their hosts; the prince of the children of Ephraim being Elishama the son of Ammihud,

and his host, and those that were numbered of them, forty thousand and five hundred;

and next unto him shall be the tribe of Manasseh; the prince of the children of Manasseh being Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur,

and his host, and those that were numbered of them, thirty and two thousand and two hundred;

and the tribe of Benjamin; the prince of the children of Benjamin being Abidan the son of Gideoni,

and his host, and those that were numbered of them, thirty and five thousand and four hundred;

all that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim being a hundred thousand and eight thousand and a hundred, according to their hosts; and they shall set forth third.

On the north side shall be the standard of the camp of Dan according to their hosts; the prince of the children of Dan being Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai,

and his host, and those that were numbered of them, threescore and two thousand and seven hundred;

and those that pitch next unto him shall be the tribe of Asher; the prince of the children of Asher being Pagiel the son of Ochran,

and his host, and those that were numbered of them, forty and one thousand and five hundred;

and the tribe of Naphtali; the prince of the children of Naphtali being Ahira the son of Enan,

and his host, and those that were numbered of them, fifty and three thousand and four hundred;

all that were numbered of the camp of Dan being a hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred; they shall set forth hindmost by their standards.'

These are they that were numbered of the children of Israel by their fathers' houses; all that were numbered of the camps according to their hosts were six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

But the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Thus did the children of Israel: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so they pitched by their standards, and so they set forward, each one according to its families, and according to its fathers' houses.

Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in mount Sinai.

And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.

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 presence of Aaron their father.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

'Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.

And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
