As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered {them} to you. {ordinances: or, traditions}

And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded. {word: Heb. mouth}

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.

This {is} the service of the families of the Gershonites, to serve, and for burdens: {burdens: or, carriage}

Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah. {word: Heb. mouth}

And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.
