Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Numbers 4
⁴³ The list included all the men between thirty and fifty years of age who were eligible for service in the Tabernacle,
⁴⁴ and the total number came to 3,200.
⁴⁵ So this was the total of all those from the Merarite clans who were eligible for service. Moses and Aaron listed them, just as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
⁴⁶ So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel listed all the Levites by their clans and families.
⁴⁷ All the men between thirty and fifty years of age who were eligible for service in the Tabernacle and for its transportation
⁴⁸ numbered 8,580.
⁴⁹ When their names were recorded, as the LORD had commanded through Moses, each man was assigned his task and told what to carry. And so the registration was completed, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Numbers 5
¹ The LORD gave these instructions to Moses:
² “Command the people of Israel to remove from the camp anyone who has a skin disease or a discharge, or who has become ceremonially unclean by touching a dead person.
³ This command applies to men and women alike. Remove them so they will not defile the camp in which I live among them.”
⁴ So the Israelites did as the LORD had commanded Moses and removed such people from the camp.
