of Israel, with the Levites, appointed all those enrolled from the registers of their ancestral houses, from thirty years of age, and upwards, to fifty years old, who were all to execute the duties of the service, and do the carrying in the Hall of Assembly; and their number was nine thousand, five hundred and eighty. They were appointed by order of the EVHR· Lw1NG, by the hand of Moses, every one to his duty, and to- his office, and appointment; as the EvER·L1v1NG commanded to Moses. ®¤mm¤nh tu czpzl Qrustihttzs smh Qrudigatw from tbz wnmp. The EvEn—L1v1Nc2 also spoke to Moses commanding; ‘ Command the children of Israel
that they must send out of the camp all aiiiicted by contagious disease, and all with venereal diseases, and all of foul life; whether male or female, so that they may not infect the camp, in the midst of which I dwell. The children of Israel accordingly

The Evan-Livmc also spoke to Moses commanding ; ‘ Speak to the children of Israel
and say to them; lf a man suspects his wife of having gone astray, and of a man having had sinful intercourse with her ; and that his wife has hidden from his sight that she has been de·· filed; but he has no witness of it, and she has not been divorced; yet the breath of suspicion has passed over her, and he suspects his wife, that she has been detiled, or that a breath of suspicion has passed over her, and he suspects his wife although she may not have been detiled; then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring as a gift for her with her, the twelfth of an epha of barley meal, without any oil poured upon it ; nor shall he put incense with it,-—for it is an offering of jealousy ;——; an offering of remembrance, for re· minding of frailty.
