The Book of Numbers, Chapter 4ΑΡΙΘΜΟΙ Δ′

καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ααρων λέγων

And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

λαβὲ τὸ κεφάλαιον τῶν υἱῶν Κααθ ἐκ μέσου υἱῶν Λευι κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν κατ᾿ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν

Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi, by their clans, by their ancestral houses,

ἀπὸ εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν καὶ ἐπάνω καὶ ἕως πεντήκοντα ἐτῶν πᾶς ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος λειτουργεῖν ποιῆσαι πάντα τὰ ἔργα ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου

from twenty-five years old and upward, and up to fifty years, everyone who enters to minister, to do all the works in the tent of witness.

καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ἔργα τῶν υἱῶν Κααθ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἅγιον τῶν ἁγίων

And these are the works of the sons of Kohath in the tent of witness: the holy of holies.

καὶ εἰσελεύσεται Ααρων καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ὅταν ἐξαίρῃ ἡ παρεμβολή καὶ καθελοῦσιν τὸ καταπέτασμα τὸ συσκιάζον καὶ κατακαλύψουσιν ἐν αὐτῷ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ μαρτυρίου

And Aaron and his sons shall go in, when the camp is about to set out, and they shall take down the veil that overshadows, and with it they shall cover the ark of witness.

καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸ κατακάλυμμα δέρμα ὑακίνθινον καὶ ἐπιβαλοῦσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν ἱμάτιον ὅλον ὑακίνθινον ἄνωθεν καὶ διεμβαλοῦσιν τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς

And they shall put on it a covering, a blue-dyed skin, and they shall throw over it a cloth wholly of blue above, and they shall insert the carrying-poles.

καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν τὴν προκειμένην ἐπιβαλοῦσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν ἱμάτιον ὁλοπόρφυρον καὶ τὰ τρυβλία καὶ τὰς θυίσκας καὶ τοὺς κυάθους καὶ τὰ σπονδεῖα ἐν οἷς σπένδει καὶ οἱ ἄρτοι οἱ διὰ παντὸς ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς ἔσονται

And over the table of the Presence they shall throw a cloth wholly of purple, and the dishes and the censers and the cups and the libation-bowls with which one pours offerings, and the perpetual loaves shall be upon it.

καὶ ἐπιβαλοῦσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν ἱμάτιον κόκκινον καὶ καλύψουσιν αὐτὴν καλύμματι δερματίνῳ ὑακινθίνῳ καὶ διεμβαλοῦσιν δι᾿ αὐτῆς τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς

And they shall throw over it a scarlet cloth, and they shall cover it with a covering of blue-dyed leather, and they shall insert through it the carrying-poles.

καὶ λήμψονται ἱμάτιον ὑακίνθινον καὶ καλύψουσιν τὴν λυχνίαν τὴν φωτίζουσαν καὶ τοὺς λύχνους αὐτῆς καὶ τὰς λαβίδας αὐτῆς καὶ τὰς ἐπαρυστρίδας αὐτῆς καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀγγεῖα τοῦ ἐλαίου οἷς λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς

And they shall take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand that gives light, and its lamps and its tongs and its oil-flasks and all the oil-vessels with which they minister,

καὶ ἐμβαλοῦσιν αὐτὴν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῆς εἰς κάλυμμα δερμάτινον ὑακίνθινον καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν αὐτὴν ἐπ᾿ ἀναφορέων

And they shall put it and all its vessels into a covering of blue-dyed leather, and they shall set it upon carrying-poles.

καὶ ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν ἐπικαλύψουσιν ἱμάτιον ὑακίνθινον καὶ καλύψουσιν αὐτὸ καλύμματι δερματίνῳ ὑακινθίνῳ καὶ διεμβαλοῦσιν τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς αὐτοῦ

And over the golden altar they shall spread a blue cloth, and they shall cover it with a covering of blue-dyed leather, and they shall insert its carrying-poles.

καὶ λήμψονται πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ λειτουργικά ὅσα λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις καὶ ἐμβαλοῦσιν εἰς ἱμάτιον ὑακίνθινον καὶ καλύψουσιν αὐτὰ καλύμματι δερματίνῳ ὑακινθίνῳ καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν ἐπὶ ἀναφορεῖς

And they shall take all the ministering vessels with which they minister in the holy place, and they shall put them into a blue cloth, and cover them with a covering of blue-dyed leather, and set them upon carrying-poles.

καὶ τὸν καλυπτῆρα ἐπιθήσει ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐπικαλύψουσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸ ἱμάτιον ὁλοπόρφυρον

And he shall put the ash-cover upon the altar, and they shall spread over it a cloth wholly of purple.

καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸ πάντα τὰ σκεύη ὅσοις λειτουργοῦσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸ ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ τὰ πυρεῖα καὶ τὰς κρεάγρας καὶ τὰς φιάλας καὶ τὸν καλυπτῆρα καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ ἐπιβαλοῦσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸ κάλυμμα δερμάτινον ὑακίνθινον καὶ διεμβαλοῦσιν τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ λήμψονται ἱμάτιον πορφυροῦν καὶ συγκαλύψουσιν τὸν λουτῆρα καὶ τὴν βάσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐμβαλοῦσιν αὐτὰ εἰς κάλυμμα δερμάτινον ὑακίνθινον καὶ ἐπιθήσουσιν ἐπὶ ἀναφορεῖς

And they shall set upon it all its vessels with which they minister upon it — the fire-pans and the flesh-hooks and the bowls and the ash-cover and all the vessels of the altar — and they shall throw over it a covering of blue-dyed leather, and insert its carrying-poles; and they shall take a purple cloth and wrap together the laver and its base, and put them into a covering of blue-dyed leather, and set them upon carrying-poles.

καὶ συντελέσουσιν Ααρων καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καλύπτοντες τὰ ἅγια καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν τὴν παρεμβολήν καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσελεύσονται υἱοὶ Κααθ αἴρειν καὶ οὐχ ἅψονται τῶν ἁγίων ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνωσιν ταῦτα ἀροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Κααθ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου

And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy things and all the holy vessels, as the camp sets out, then afterward the sons of Kohath shall come in to carry them; but they shall not touch the holy things, lest they die. These the sons of Kohath shall carry in the tent of witness.

ἐπίσκοπος Ελεαζαρ υἱὸς Ααρων τοῦ ἱερέως τὸ ἔλαιον τοῦ φωτὸς καὶ τὸ θυμίαμα τῆς συνθέσεως καὶ ἡ θυσία ἡ καθ᾿ ἡμέραν καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον τῆς χρίσεως ἡ ἐπισκοπὴ ὅλης τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῇ ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις

Overseer is Eleazar son of Aaron the priest: the oil for the light, and the fragrant incense, and the daily sacrifice, and the anointing oil — the oversight of the whole tabernacle and of all that is in it, in the holy place, in all the works.

καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ααρων λέγων

And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

μὴ ὀλεθρεύσητε τῆς φυλῆς τὸν δῆμον τὸν Κααθ ἐκ μέσου τῶν Λευιτῶν

Do not let the clan of the tribe of Kohath be destroyed from the midst of the Levites.

τοῦτο ποιήσατε αὐτοῖς καὶ ζήσονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνωσιν προσπορευομένων αὐτῶν πρὸς τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων Ααρων καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ προσπορευέσθωσαν καὶ καταστήσουσιν αὐτοὺς ἕκαστον κατὰ τὴν ἀναφορὰν αὐτοῦ

This do for them, and they shall live and shall not die when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and shall appoint them each to his burden,

καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθωσιν ἰδεῖν ἐξάπινα τὰ ἅγια καὶ ἀποθανοῦνται

and they shall not go in to look suddenly on the holy things, lest they die.

καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

λαβὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν τῶν υἱῶν Γεδσων καὶ τούτους κατ᾿ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν

Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their ancestral houses, by their clans;

ἀπὸ πεντεκαιεικοσαετοῦς καὶ ἐπάνω ἕως πεντηκονταετοῦς ἐπίσκεψαι αὐτούς πᾶς ὁ εἰσπορευόμενος λειτουργεῖν καὶ ποιεῖν τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου

from twenty-five years old and upward to fifty years old you shall number them, everyone who enters to minister and to do his works in the tent of witness.

αὕτη ἡ λειτουργία τοῦ δήμου τοῦ Γεδσων λειτουργεῖν καὶ αἴρειν

This is the service of the clan of Gershon: to minister and to carry.

καὶ ἀρεῖ τὰς δέρρεις τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ τὸ κάλυμμα αὐτῆς καὶ τὸ κάλυμμα τὸ ὑακίνθινον τὸ ὂν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς ἄνωθεν καὶ τὸ κάλυμμα τῆς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου

And he shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of witness and its covering and the blue covering that is over it from above, and the screen of the door of the tent of witness,

καὶ τὰ ἱστία τῆς αὐλῆς ὅσα ἐπὶ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ τὰ περισσὰ καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ λειτουργικά ὅσα λειτουργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτοῖς ποιήσουσιν

and the hangings of the court, all that are about the tent of witness, and the remaining things, and all the ministering vessels with which they minister — these they shall attend to.

κατὰ στόμα Ααρων καὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἡ λειτουργία τῶν υἱῶν Γεδσων κατὰ πάσας τὰς λειτουργίας αὐτῶν καὶ κατὰ πάντα τὰ ἀρτὰ δι᾿ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπισκέψῃ αὐτοὺς ἐξ ὀνομάτων πάντα τὰ ἀρτὰ ὑπ᾿ αὐτῶν

According to the command of Aaron and his sons shall be the service of the sons of Gershon, in all their ministries and in all that is carried by them; and you shall register them by name — all that is carried by them.

This is the service of the sons of Gershon in the tent of witness, and their charge is under the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

And these are the charges of the things to be carried by them, according to all their works in the tent of witness: the boards of the tabernacle and its bars and its pillars and its sockets, and the covering and their sockets and their pillars, and the covering of the door of the tent,

καὶ τοὺς στύλους τῆς αὐλῆς κύκλῳ καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς στύλους τοῦ καταπετάσματος τῆς πύλης τῆς αὐλῆς καὶ τὰς βάσεις αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς πασσάλους αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς κάλους αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ λειτουργήματα αὐτῶν ἐξ ὀνομάτων ἐπισκέψασθε αὐτοὺς καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τῆς φυλακῆς τῶν αἰρομένων ὑπ᾿ αὐτῶν
