Ruhoniy Horunning oʻgʻillari
1 Egamiz Sinay togʻida Muso bilan soʻzlashganda, Muso va Horunning nasli quyidagilardan iborat edi: 2 Horunning toʻrtta oʻgʻli bor edi: Nadov, Abihu, Elazar va Itamar. Nadov toʻngʻich oʻgʻil edi. 3 Muso Horunning bu oʻgʻillariga moy surtib, ularni ruhoniylikka tayinlagan edi. 4 Lekin Nadov bilan Abihu Sinay sahrosida Egamiz amr etmagan olovni Uning huzuriga olib kelganlari uchun oʻsha yerda nobud boʻlgan edilar . Ikkovi ham befarzand edi. Shuning uchun faqat Elazar bilan Itamar otalari Horun hayotligida ruhoniy boʻlib xizmat qilgan edilar.
Levi qabilasi ruhoniylik xizmatiga tayinlanadi
5 Musoga Egamiz shunday amr berdi: 6 “Levi qabilasini ruhoniy Horun huzuriga boshlab kel. Ular Horunga yordam berishsin. 7 Levilar Uchrashuv chodirida Horunga va butun Isroil jamoasiga xizmat qilib, Chodirga oid boʻlgan barcha yumushlarni bajarishsin. 8 Ular Muqaddas chodirda Isroil xalqi uchun xizmat qilishar ekan, Chodirdagi hamma ashyolar uchun masʼul boʻlishsin. 9 Levilarni Horun va uning oʻgʻillari ixtiyoriga ber. Isroil xalqining bu qabilasi toʻliq ularning ixtiyorida boʻlishi shart. 10 Horun va uning oʻgʻillarini ruhoniylik xizmatiga tayinla. Ruhoniylik vazifasini bajargan har qanday boshqa odamning jazosi oʻlimdir.”
11 Musoga Egamiz yana dedi: 12 “Men levilarni Isroil xalqining onadan tugʻilgan barcha toʻngʻich oʻgʻillari oʻrnida qabul qilganman. Levilar Menikidir. 13 Zotan, hamma toʻngʻich oʻgʻillar Menga tegishli. Men Misrliklarning hamma toʻngʻich oʻgʻillarini nobud qilgan kunim Isroil xalqining barcha toʻngʻichlarini — odamidan tortib hayvoniga qadar Oʻzim uchun ajratib olganman . Ularning hammasi Meniki boʻlishi shart. Zotan, Men Egangizman.”
Levi qabilasi roʻyxatga olinadi
14 Musoga Egamiz Sinay sahrosida yana aytdi: 15 “Levi qabilasini urugʻi va xonadonlari boʻyicha sanab chiq. Bir oylik oʻgʻil bolalardan tortib, katta yoshdagi erkaklargacha sanab chiq.” 16 Egamizning amri boʻyicha Muso ularni sanab chiqdi.
17 Levining uchta oʻgʻli boʻlib, ismlari Gershon, Qohot va Marori edi.
18 Gershonning Lubnax va Shimax degan oʻgʻillari boʻlib, har qaysisidan bittadan urugʻ kelib chiqdi.
19 Qohotning Imrom, Izxor, Xevron va Uziyol degan oʻgʻillari boʻlib, ularning har biridan ham bittadan urugʻ kelib chiqdi.
20 Marorining Maxli va Mushi degan oʻgʻillari boʻlib, ularning har biridan ham bittadan urugʻ kelib chiqdi.
Levi urugʻlarining ota xonadoni boʻyicha roʻyxatga olinganlari ana shular edi.
21 Gershondan Lubnax va Shimax urugʻlari kelib chiqdi. 22 Gershon urugʻiga qarashli bir oylik oʻgʻil bolalardan tortib, katta yoshdagi erkaklargacha sanalganda, 7500 ta chiqdi. 23 Gershon urugʻi chodirlarini Muqaddas chodirning orqa tomonida, gʻarbda oʻrnashtirishlari kerak edi. 24 Gershon urugʻining oqsoqoli Loyol oʻgʻli Eliasaf edi. 25 Gershon urugʻi Chodirning quyidagi ashyolari uchun masʼul edi: Chodirning ichki qavati va qoplamalari, Chodirga kiraverishdagi parda, 26 Chodir bilan qurbongoh atrofini toʻsib turadigan pardalar, hovliga kiraverishdagi parda va uning arqonlari. Chodirning bu ashyolari bilan bogʻliq boʻlgan barcha xizmat Gershon urugʻi zimmasida edi.
27 Qohotdan Imrom, Izxor, Xevron va Uziyol urugʻlari kelib chiqdi. 28 Ularga qarashli bir oylik oʻgʻil bolalardan tortib, katta yoshdagi erkaklargacha sanalganda, 8600 ta chiqdi. Qohot urugʻi Muqaddas chodir uchun masʼul edi. 29 Qohot urugʻi Muqaddas chodirning janub tomonida chodir qurishi kerak edi. 30 Qohot urugʻi oqsoqoli Uziyol oʻgʻli Elizofon edi. 31 Ular Chodirdagi quyidagi ashyolar uchun masʼul edilar: Sandiq, xontaxta, chiroqpoya, qurbongohlar, xizmat paytida ishlatiladigan Muqaddas chodir buyumlari va ichki pardasi. Chodirdagi bu ashyolar bilan bogʻliq boʻlgan barcha xizmat Qohot urugʻi zimmasida edi. 32 Levi oqsoqollari ustidan ruhoniy Horun oʻgʻli Elazar boshchilik qilardi. Muqaddas chodir uchun masʼul boʻlganlar Elazarning nazorati ostida edilar.
33 Maroridan Maxli va Mushi urugʻlari kelib chiqdi. 34 Marori urugʻining bir oylik oʻgʻil bolalaridan tortib, katta yoshdagi erkaklarigacha sanalganda, 6200 ta chiqdi. 35 Marori urugʻi oqsoqoli Abuhayil oʻgʻli Zuriyol edi. Ular Muqaddas chodirning shimol tomoniga chodirlarini oʻrnatishlari kerak edi. 36-37 Ular Chodirdagi quyidagi ashyolar uchun masʼul edilar: Chodirning romlari, tambalari, ustunlar va ustun tagliklari, ularga oid barcha buyumlar, hovlining atrofidagi ustunlar va ustun tagliklari, qoziq va arqonlari, ularga tegishli hamma buyumlar. Chodirdagi bu ashyolar bilan bogʻliq boʻlgan barcha xizmat Marori urugʻi zimmasida edi.
38 Muso, Horun va uning oʻgʻillari oʻz chodirlarini sharq tomonda — Muqaddas chodirning oldida oʻrnatishlari kerak edi. Ular Isroil xalqining vakillari sifatida Muqaddas chodirdagi xizmat uchun masʼul edilar. Ulardan boshqa birontasi Chodirga yaqin kelsa, oʻsha odamning jazosi oʻlim edi.
39 Muso va Horun, Egamizning amriga koʻra, Levi qabilasining bir oylik oʻgʻil bolalaridan tortib, katta yoshdagi erkaklarigacha hammani urugʻlari boʻyicha sanab chiqqanlarida, ularning umumiy soni 22.000 ta chiqdi.
Levi qabilasi toʻngʻich oʻgʻillarning oʻrnini bosadi
40 Egamiz shundan keyin Musoga yana aytdi: “Isroil xalqining bir oylik va undan yuqori yoshdagi hamma toʻngʻich oʻgʻillarini sanab chiq. Ularning ismlarini roʻyxat qilib yoz. 41 Isroil xalqining hamma toʻngʻich oʻgʻillari oʻrniga Men Levi qabilasini qabul qilaman. Isroil xalqining chorvasida birinchi tugʻilgan hayvonlari oʻrniga esa levilarning chorvasini olaman. Men Egangizman.”
42 Muso Egamizning amrini bajardi. Isroil xalqining hamma toʻngʻich oʻgʻillarini sanab chiqdi. 43 Bir oylik va undan yuqori yoshdagi hamma toʻngʻich oʻgʻil birma–bir sanalganda, 22.273 ta chiqdi.
44 Musoga Egamiz aytdi: 45 “Isroil xalqining hamma toʻngʻich oʻgʻillari oʻrniga levilarni Menga bagʻishla, Isroil xalqining chorvasi oʻrniga esa levilarning chorvasini Menga bagʻishla. Levilar Meniki boʻladi. Men Egangizman. 46 Isroilning toʻngʻich oʻgʻillari levilardan 273 ta ortiq. Isroil xalqi ana shu ortiqchasi evaziga tovon toʻlashi kerak. 47 Har bir ortiqcha odam evaziga besh boʻlakdan kumush ol. Har bir kumush boʻlakning ogʻirligi ikki yarim misqol boʻlsin . 48 Oʻsha kumushni Horun va uning oʻgʻillariga ber.”
49-50 Muso ortiq chiqqan Isroil toʻngʻich oʻgʻillaridan 1365 ta kumush boʻlakni yigʻib oldi . 51 Muso Egamizning amriga koʻra, yigʻib olgan tovon pulini Horun va uning oʻgʻillariga berdi.
1 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai. 2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office. 4 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 sight of Aaron their father.
5 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him. 7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. 8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel. 10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine; 13 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.
14 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying, 15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. 16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded. 17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. 18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei. 19 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 20 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers. 21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites. 22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred. 23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward. 24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael. 25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
27 ¶ And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites. 28 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary. 29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward. 30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. 31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof. 32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
33 ¶ Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari. 34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred. 35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward. 36 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto, 37 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
38 ¶ But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 39 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.
40 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names. 41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel. 42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel. 43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
44 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD. 46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites; 47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:) 48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. 49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites: 50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels , after the shekel of the sanctuary: 51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
