Numeri 7-8
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
7 Factum est autem in die qua complevit Moyses tabernaculum, et erexit illud, unxitque et sanctificavit cum omnibus vasis suis, altare similiter et omnia vasa ejus:
2 obtulerunt principes Israel et capita familiarum, qui erant per singulas tribus, praefectique eorum, qui numerati fuerant,
3 munera coram Domino sex plaustra tecta cum duodecim bobus. Unum plaustrum obtulere duo duces, et unum bovem singuli, obtuleruntque ea in conspectu tabernaculi.
4 Ait autem Dominus ad Moysen:
5 Suscipe ab eis ut serviant in ministerio tabernaculi, et trades ea Levitis juxta ordinem ministerii sui.
6 Itaque cum suscepisset Moyses plaustra et boves, tradidit eos Levitis.
7 Duo plaustra et quatuor boves dedit filiis Gerson, juxta id quod habebant necessarium.
8 Quatuor alia plaustra et octo boves dedit filiis Merari secundum officia et cultum suum, sub manu Ithamar filii Aaron sacerdotis.
9 Filiis autem Caath non dedit plaustra et boves: quia in sanctuario serviunt, et onera propriis portant humeris.
10 Igitur obtulerunt duces in dedicationem altaris, die qua unctum est, oblationem suam ante altare.
11 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Singuli duces per singulos dies offerant munera in dedicationem altaris.

85 ita ut centum triginta siclos argenti haberet unum acetabulum, et septuaginta siclos haberet una phiala: id est, in commune vasorum omnium ex argento sicli duo millia quadringenti, pondere sanctuarii:
86 mortariola aurea duodecim plena incenso, denos siclos appendentia pondere sanctuarii: id est, simul auri sicli centum viginti:

88 In hostias pacificorum, boves viginti quatuor, arietes sexaginta, hirci sexaginta, agni anniculi sexaginta. Haec oblata sunt in dedicatione altaris, quando unctum est.
89 Cumque ingrederetur Moyses tabernaculum foederis, ut consuleret oraculum, audiebat vocem loquentis ad se de propitiatorio quod erat super arcam testimonii inter duos cherubim, unde et loquebatur ei.
8 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 Loquere Aaron, et dices ad eum: Cum posueris septem lucernas, candelabrum in australi parte erigatur. Hoc igitur praecipe ut lucernae contra boream e regione respiciant ad mensam panum propositionis, contra eam partem, quam candelabrum respicit, lucere debebunt.
3 Fecitque Aaron, et imposuit lucernas super candelabrum, ut praeceperat Dominus Moysi.
4 Haec autem erat factura candelabri, ex auro ductili, tam medius stipes, quam cuncta quae ex utroque calamorum latere nascebantur: juxta exemplum quod ostendit Dominus Moysi, ita operatus est candelabrum.
5 Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
6 Tolle Levitas de medio filiorum Israel, et purificabis eos
7 juxta hunc ritum: aspergantur aqua lustrationis, et radant omnes pilos carnis suae. Cumque laverint vestimenta sua, et mundati fuerint,
8 tollent bovem de armentis, et libamentum ejus similam oleo conspersam: bovem autem alterum de armento tu accipies pro peccato:
9 et applicabis Levitas coram tabernaculo foederis, convocata omni multitudine filiorum Israel.
10 Cumque Levitae fuerint coram Domino, ponent filii Israel manus suas super eos.
11 Et offeret Aaron Levitas, munus in conspectu Domini a filiis Israel, ut serviant in ministerio ejus.
12 Levitae quoque ponent manus suas super capita boum, e quibus unum facies pro peccato, et alterum in holocaustum Domini, ut depreceris pro eis.
13 Statuesque Levitas in conspectu Aaron et filiorum ejus, et consecrabis oblatos Domino,
14 ac separabis de medio filiorum Israel, ut sint mei.
15 Et postea ingredientur tabernaculum foederis, ut serviant mihi. Sicque purificabis et consecrabis eos in oblationem Domini: quoniam dono donati sunt mihi a filiis Israel.
16 Pro primogenitis quae aperiunt omnem vulvam in Israel, accepi eos.
17 Mea sunt enim omnia primogenita filiorum Israel, tam ex hominibus quam ex jumentis. Ex die quo percussi omne primogenitum in terra AEgypti, sanctificavi eos mihi:
18 et tuli Levitas pro cunctis primogenitis filiorum Israel,
19 tradidique eos dono Aaron et filiis ejus de medio populi, ut serviant mihi pro Israel in tabernaculo foederis, et orent pro eis ne sit in populo plaga, si ausi fuerint accedere ad sanctuarium.
20 Feceruntque Moyses et Aaron et omnis multitudo filiorum Israel super Levitas quae praeceperat Dominus Moysi:
21 purificatique sunt, et laverunt vestimenta sua. Elevavitque eos Aaron in conspectu Domini, et oravit pro eis,
22 ut purificati ingrederentur ad officia sua in tabernaculum foederis coram Aaron et filiis ejus. Sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi de Levitis, ita factum est.
23 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
24 Haec est lex Levitarum: a viginti quinque annis et supra, ingredientur ut ministrent in tabernaculo foederis.
25 Cumque quinquagesimum annum aetatis impleverint, servire cessabunt,
26 eruntque ministri fratrum suorum in tabernaculo foederis, ut custodiant quae sibi fuerunt commendata: opera autem ipsa non faciant. Sic dispones Levitis in custodiis suis.

Numbers 7-8
New International Version
Offerings at the Dedication of the Tabernacle
7 When Moses finished setting up the tabernacle,(A) he anointed(B) and consecrated it and all its furnishings.(C) He also anointed and consecrated the altar and all its utensils.(D) 2 Then the leaders of Israel,(E) the heads of families who were the tribal leaders in charge of those who were counted,(F) made offerings. 3 They brought as their gifts before the Lord six covered carts(G) and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two. These they presented before the tabernacle.
4 The Lord said to Moses, 5 “Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the tent of meeting. Give them to the Levites as each man’s work requires.”
6 So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites,(H) as their work required, 8 and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites,(I) as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest. 9 But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites,(J) because they were to carry on their shoulders(K) the holy things, for which they were responsible.
10 When the altar was anointed,(L) the leaders brought their offerings for its dedication(M) and presented them before the altar. 11 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Each day one leader is to bring his offering for the dedication of the altar.”
12 The one who brought his offering on the first day was Nahshon(N) son of Amminadab of the tribe of Judah.
13 His offering was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels[a] and one silver sprinkling bowl(O) weighing seventy shekels,[b](P) both according to the sanctuary shekel,(Q) each filled with the finest flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering;(R) 14 one gold dish(S) weighing ten shekels,[c](T) filled with incense;(U) 15 one young bull,(V) one ram and one male lamb a year old for a burnt offering;(W) 16 one male goat for a sin offering[d];(X) 17 and two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering.(Y) This was the offering of Nahshon son of Amminadab.(Z)
18 On the second day Nethanel son of Zuar,(AA) the leader of Issachar, brought his offering.
19 The offering he brought was one silver plate weighing a hundred and thirty shekels and one silver sprinkling bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel, each filled with the finest flour mixed with olive oil as a grain offering; 20 one gold dish(AB) weighing ten shekels, filled with incense; 21 one young bull, one ram and one male lamb a year old for a burnt offering; 22 one male goat for a sin offering; 23 and two oxen, five rams, five male goats and five male lambs a year old to be sacrificed as a fellowship offering. This was the offering of Nethanel son of Zuar.
24 On the third day, Eliab son of Helon,(AC) the leader of the people of Zebulun, brought his offering.

89 When Moses entered the tent of meeting(AY) to speak with the Lord,(AZ) he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the atonement cover(BA) on the ark of the covenant law.(BB) In this way the Lord spoke to him.
Setting Up the Lamps
8 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you set up the lamps, see that all seven light up the area in front of the lampstand.(BC)’”
3 Aaron did so; he set up the lamps so that they faced forward on the lampstand, just as the Lord commanded Moses. 4 This is how the lampstand was made: It was made of hammered gold(BD)—from its base to its blossoms. The lampstand was made exactly like the pattern(BE) the Lord had shown Moses.
The Setting Apart of the Levites
5 The Lord said to Moses: 6 “Take the Levites from among all the Israelites and make them ceremonially clean.(BF) 7 To purify them, do this: Sprinkle the water of cleansing(BG) on them; then have them shave their whole bodies(BH) and wash their clothes.(BI) And so they will purify themselves.(BJ) 8 Have them take a young bull with its grain offering of the finest flour mixed with olive oil;(BK) then you are to take a second young bull for a sin offering.[g](BL) 9 Bring the Levites to the front of the tent of meeting(BM) and assemble the whole Israelite community.(BN) 10 You are to bring the Levites before the Lord, and the Israelites are to lay their hands on them.(BO) 11 Aaron is to present the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering(BP) from the Israelites, so that they may be ready to do the work of the Lord.
12 “Then the Levites are to lay their hands on the heads of the bulls,(BQ) using one for a sin offering(BR) to the Lord and the other for a burnt offering,(BS) to make atonement(BT) for the Levites. 13 Have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons and then present them as a wave offering(BU) to the Lord. 14 In this way you are to set the Levites apart from the other Israelites, and the Levites will be mine.(BV)
15 “After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering,(BW) they are to come to do their work at the tent of meeting.(BX) 16 They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn,(BY) the first male offspring(BZ) from every Israelite woman. 17 Every firstborn male in Israel, whether human or animal,(CA) is mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set them apart for myself.(CB) 18 And I have taken the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons in Israel.(CC) 19 From among all the Israelites, I have given the Levites as gifts to Aaron and his sons(CD) to do the work at the tent of meeting on behalf of the Israelites(CE) and to make atonement for them(CF) so that no plague will strike the Israelites when they go near the sanctuary.”
20 Moses, Aaron and the whole Israelite community did with the Levites just as the Lord commanded Moses. 21 The Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes.(CG) Then Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the Lord and made atonement(CH) for them to purify them.(CI) 22 After that, the Levites came to do their work(CJ) at the tent of meeting under the supervision of Aaron and his sons. They did with the Levites just as the Lord commanded Moses.
23 The Lord said to Moses, 24 “This applies to the Levites: Men twenty-five years old or more(CK) shall come to take part in the work at the tent of meeting,(CL) 25 but at the age of fifty,(CM) they must retire from their regular service and work no longer. 26 They may assist their brothers in performing their duties at the tent of meeting, but they themselves must not do the work.(CN) This, then, is how you are to assign the responsibilities of the Levites.”
