1
And it came to pass that Moses did speak again unto the Kohen Gadol and the Kohanot Gadolah, saying:
2
The Priests and the Priestesses of the Levites, these should be faithful servants of יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim;
3
Walking in righteousness and pure in their conversation; yea, not given to strong drink, nor lust, nor lasciviousness.
4
¶ And it shall come to pass that when ye do settle in the land of promise, there shall need be Priests and Priestesses set apart in all the cities, and in every town and village to keep the sacrifices unto יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim.
5
And these shall keep watch over the houses of יהוה (YHVH), and shall minister unto the people;
6
And some shall be as psalmists and shall lead these people to worship יהוה (YHVH), our Elohim.
7
¶ And when it shall come to pass that יהוה (YHVH) shall instruct you to build up Temples unto Him, that He may come and dwell in the midst of you, then will this kehunnah (Priesthood or service) administer the ordinances of that Temple.
8
And there shall be set a Kohen Gadol and the Kohanot Gadolah in every Temple, and to them shall they that watch over the House of Ha’Elohim give heed.
9
And the Priestess shall pour out the libations unto יהוה (YHVH), and shall sing and dance in prophecy, and assist in the rituals, but she shall not kill sacrifices.
10
¶ And in every city, town, and village, ye shall ordain Teachers, men and women who are gifted in instruction, learned in symbols, and every manner of wisdom and knowledge;
11
And this that Israel and her children might attain to all wisdom and all knowledge.
12
And the Teachers of the Torah shall be appointed to instruct the people in the ways of יהוה (YHVH), and in the words of His Torah.
13
And it shall come to pass that the children of the rich and the poor shall come together to learn the words of the Torah without price.
14
¶ And in every city shall ye ordain shamashim; they who do love the Torah; men and women who neither despise the poor nor fear the rich;
15
And these need be kind, for they are the servants of יהוה (YHVH), and swift of foot, for they shall be the messengers (makakim) of יהוה (YHVH).
