8：9将利未人奉到会幕前，招聚以色列全会众。
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation： and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together：
8：10将利未人奉到耶和华面前，以色列人要按手在他们头上。
And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD： and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites：
8：11亚伦也将他们奉到耶和华面前，为以色列人当作摇祭，使他们好办耶和华的事。
And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel； that they may execute the service of the LORD。
8：12利未人要按手在那两只牛的头上。你要将一只作赎罪祭，一只作燔祭，献给耶和华，为利未人赎罪。
And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks： and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering； and the other for a burnt offering； unto the LORD； to make an atonement for the Levites。
8：13你也要使利未人站在亚伦和他儿子面前，将他们当作摇祭奉给耶和华。
And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron； and before his sons； and offer them for an offering unto the LORD。
8：14这样，你从以色列人中将利未人分别出来，利未人便要归我。
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel： and the Levites shall be mine。
8：15此后利未人要进去办会幕的事，你要洁净他们，将他们当作摇祭奉上。
And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation： and thou shalt cleanse them； and offer them for an offering。
8：16因为他们是从以色列人中全然给我的，我拣选他们归我，是代替以色列人中一切头生的。
For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel； instead of such as open every womb； even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel； have I taken them unto me。
8：17以色列人中一切头生的，连人带牲畜，都是我的。我在埃及地击杀一切头生的那天，将他们分别为圣归我。
For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine； both man and beast： on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself。
8：18我拣选利未人代替以色列人中一切头生的。
And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel。
8：19我从以色列人中将利未人当作赏赐给亚伦和他的儿子，在会幕中办以色列人的事，又为以色列人赎罪，免得他们挨近圣所，有灾殃临到他们中间。
And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel； to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation； and to make an atonement for the children of Israel： that there be no plague among the children of Israel； when the children of Israel e nigh unto the sanctuary。
8：20摩西，亚伦，并以色列全会众便向利未人如此行。凡耶和华指着利未人所吩咐摩西的，以色列人就向他们这样行。
And Moses； and Aaron； and all the congregation of the children of Israel； did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD manded Moses concerning the Levites； so did the children of Israel unto them。
8：21于是利未人洁净自己，除了罪，洗了衣服。亚伦将他们当作摇祭奉到耶和华面前，又为他们赎罪，洁净他们。
And the Levites were purified； and they washed their clothes； and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD； and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them。
8：22然后利未人进去，在亚伦和他儿子面前，在会幕中办事。耶和华指着利未人怎样吩咐摩西，以色列人就怎样向他们行了。
And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron； and before his sons： as the LORD had manded Moses concerning the Levites； so did they unto them。
8：23耶和华晓谕摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses； saying；
8：24利未人是这样，从二十五岁以外，他们要前来任职，办会幕的事。
This is it that belongeth unto the Levites： from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation：
8：25到了五十岁要停工退任，不再办事，
And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof； and shall serve no more：
8：26只要在会幕里，和他们的弟兄一同伺候，谨守所吩咐的，不再办事了。至于所吩咐利未人的，你要这样向他们行。
But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation； to keep the charge； and shall do no service。 Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge。
旧约 民数记（Numbers） 第 9 章 （ 本篇共有 36 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
9：1以色列人出埃及地以后，第二年正月，耶和华在西奈的旷野吩咐摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai； in the first month of the second year after they were e out of the land of Egypt； saying；
9：2以色列人应当在所定的日期守逾越节，
Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season。
9：3就是本月十四日黄昏的时候，你们要在所定的日期守这节，要按这节的律例典章而守。
In the fourteenth day of this month； at even； ye shall keep it in his appointed season： according to all the rites of it； and according to all the ceremonies thereof； shall ye keep it。
9：4于是摩西吩咐以色列人守逾越节。
And Moses spake unto the children of Israel； that they should keep the passover。
9：5他们就在西奈的旷野，正月十四日黄昏的时候，守逾越节。凡耶和华所吩咐摩西的，以色列人都照样行了。
And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai： according to all that the LORD manded Moses； so did the children of Israel。
9：6有几个人因死尸而不洁净，不能在那日守逾越节。当日他们到摩西，亚伦面前，
And there were certain men； who were defiled by the dead body of a man； that they could not keep the passover on that day： and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day：
9：7说，我们虽因死尸而不洁净，为何被阻止，不得同以色列人在所定的日期献耶和华的供物呢，
And those men said unto him； We are defiled by the dead body of a man： wherefore are we kept back； that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel？
9：8摩西对他们说，你们暂且等候，我可以去听耶和华指着你们是怎样吩咐的。
And Moses said unto them； Stand still； and I will hear what the LORD will mand concerning you。
9：9耶和华对摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses； saying；
9：10你晓谕以色列人说，你们和你们后代中，若有人因死尸而不洁净，或在远方行路，还要向耶和华守逾越节。
Speak unto the children of Israel； saying； If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body； or be in a journey afar off； yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD。
9：11他们要在二月十四日黄昏的时候，守逾越节。要用无酵饼与苦菜，和逾越节的羊羔同吃。
The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it； and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs。
9：12一点不可留到早晨。羊羔的骨头一根也不可折断。他们要照逾越节的一切律例而守。
They shall leave none of it unto the morning； nor break any bone of it： according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it。
9：13那洁净而不行路的人若推辞不守逾越节，那人要从民中剪除。因为他在所定的日期不献耶和华的供物，应该担当他的罪。
But the man that is clean； and is not in a journey； and forbeareth to keep the passover； even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people： because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season； that man shall bear his sin。
9：14若有外人寄居在你们中间，愿意向耶和华守逾越节，他要照逾越节的律例典章行，不管是寄居的是本地人，同归一例。
And if a stranger shall sojourn among you； and will keep the passover unto the LORD； according to the ordinance of the passover； and according to the manner thereof； so shall he do： ye shall have one ordinance； both for the stranger； and for him that was born in the land。
9：15立起帐幕的那日，有云彩遮盖帐幕，就是法柜的帐幕。从晚上到早晨，云彩在其上，形状如火。
And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle； namely； the tent of the testimony： and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire； until the morning。
9：16常是这样，云彩遮盖帐幕，夜间形状如火。
So it was alway： the cloud covered it by day； and the appearance of fire by night。
9：17云彩几时从帐幕收上去，以色列人就几时起行。云彩在哪里停住，以色列人就在那里安营。
And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle； then after that the children of Israel journeyed： and in the place where the cloud abode； there the children of Israel pitched their tents。
9：18以色列人遵耶和华的吩咐起行，也遵耶和华的吩咐安营。云彩在帐幕上停住几时，他们就住营几时。
At the mandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed； and at the mandment of the LORD they pitched： as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents。
9：19云彩在帐幕上停留许多日子，以色列人就守耶和华所吩咐的不起行。
And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days； then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD； and journeyed not。
9：20有时云彩在帐幕上几天，他们就照耶和华的吩咐住营，也照耶和华的吩咐起行。
And so it was； when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle； according to the mandment of the LORD they abode in their tents； and according to the mandment of the LORD they journeyed。
9：21有时从晚上到早晨，有这云彩在帐幕上。早晨云彩收上去，他们就起行。有时昼夜云彩停在帐幕上，收上去的时候，他们就起行。
And so it was； when the cloud abode from even unto the morning； and that the cloud was taken up in the morning； then they journeyed： whether it was by day or by night t
