“如果有住在以色列中任何一座城裡的利未人，離開了那裡，一心一意到耶和華選擇的地方去，

“利未人无论寄居在以色列中的哪一座城，若从那里出来，一心愿意到耶和华所选择的地方，

“利未人若离开他在以色列中所居住的任何一座城，一心愿意到耶和华所选择的地方，

“利未人若离开他在以色列中所居住的任何一座城，一心愿意到耶和华所选择的地方，

“以色列境内任何地方的利未人若愿意离开自己所住的城，去耶和华选定的地方，

“如果有住在以色列中任何一座城里的利未人，离开了那里，一心一意到耶和华选择的地方去，

「利未人無論寄居在以色列中的哪一座城，若從那裏出來，一心願意到耶和華所選擇的地方，

「利未人若離開他在以色列中所居住的任何一座城，一心願意到耶和華所選擇的地方，

「利未人若離開他在以色列中所居住的任何一座城，一心願意到耶和華所選擇的地方，

「以色列境內任何地方的利未人若願意離開自己所住的城，去耶和華選定的地方，

『若有利未人、無論寄居在以色列中的哪一座城，他從那裏一心一意地來到永恆主所要選擇的地方，

如有利未人離其所居以色列之邑、一心願至耶和華所選之處、

如有利未人、曾旅於以色列族眾邑之中、厥後離彼、一心欲詣耶和華特簡之室、

利未人素居爾數邑中、如有利未人離所居之邑、無論以色列何邑、其心願至主所選之處、

If a Levite moves from one of your towns anywhere in Israel where he is living, and comes in all earnestness to the place the Lord will choose,

Sometimes a Levite will move from the town in Israel where he’s living. And he will come to the place the Lord will choose. He’ll do it because he really wants to.

“ And if a Levite comes from any of your towns out of all Israel, where he lives— and he may come when he desires— to the place that the Lord will choose,

“ Suppose a Levite chooses to move from his town in Israel, wherever he is living, to the place the Lord chooses for worship.

When a Levite leaves one of your towns in Israel where he was staying and wants to go to the place the LORD chooses,

“ Now if a Levite comes from any of your towns throughout Israel where he resides, and he comes whenever he desires to the place which the Lord chooses,

“ So if a Levite comes from any of your gates, from where he dwells among all Israel, and comes with all the desire of his mind to the place which the Lord chooses,

And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourneth, and come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah shall choose;

When a Levite leaves one of your towns where he lives in Israel and wants to go to the place the Lord chooses,

And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;

Suppose a Levite comes by his own free will from one of your villages, from any part of Israel where he is living, to the place the LORD chooses

If a Levite comes from any of your gates out of all Israel where he lives, and comes with all the desire of his soul to the place which Yahweh shall choose,

“你要吩咐以色列人，叫他們從所得為業的地中，把一些城給利未人居住，也把這些城周圍的郊區給利未人。這些城要歸他們居住，城的郊區可以牧放他們的牛羊和一切牲畜，也可以存放他們的財物。

耶和華你們的神從你們各支派中，選擇了甚麼地方作立他名的居所，你們就當到那裡求問他；

靠你有力量，心中嚮往通到聖殿大道的，這人是有福的。

神啊！你是我的神，我要切切尋求你；在乾旱、疲乏、無水之地，我的心，我的身，都渴想你，切慕你。因此，我在聖所中瞻仰你，為要見你的能力和榮耀。

你要在耶和華選擇立為他名的居所的地方，把羊和牛作逾越節的祭牲獻給耶和華你的神。

在你院子裡住一日，勝過在別處住千日；寧願站在我神殿中的門檻上，也不願住在惡人的帳棚裡。

有一件事我求過耶和華，我還要尋求；我要一生一世住在耶和華的殿裡，瞻仰他的榮美，在他的殿中求問。

務要牧養在你們中間的神的羊群，按著神的旨意看顧他們。不是出於勉強，而是出於甘心；不是因為貪財，而是出於熱誠；

“如果有人渴慕監督的職分，他就是愛慕善工。”這話是可信的。

耶和華啊！我喜愛你住宿的殿，你榮耀居住的地方。
