Numbers - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.
- And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
- These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, who were consecrated to exercise the priesthood.
- And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah when they offered strange fire before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons; and Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the presence of Aaron their father.
- And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
- Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;
- and they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole assembly, before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
- And they shall keep all the utensils of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
- And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.
- And Aaron and his sons shalt thou appoint that they may attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.
- And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
- And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;
- for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.
- And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
- Number the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, after their families; every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
- And Moses numbered them, according to the commandment of Jehovah, -- as he had been commanded.

- And these are the names of the sons of Gershon according to their families: Libni and Shimei.
- And the sons of Kohath according to their families: Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
