Numbers - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- And these `are' births of Aaron and Moses, in the day of Jehovah's speaking with Moses in mount Sinai.
- And these `are' the names of the sons of Aaron: the first-born Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar;
- these `are' the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whose hand he hath consecrated for acting as priest.
- And Nadab dieth -- Abihu also -- before Jehovah, in their bringing near strange fire before Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai, and sons they had not; and Eleazar -- Ithamar also -- acteth as priest in the presence of Aaron their father.
- And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
- `Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou hast caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,
- and kept his charge, and the charge of all the company before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle;
- and they have kept all the vessels of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle;
- and thou hast given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel.
- `And Aaron and his sons thou dost appoint, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who cometh near is put to death.'
- And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
- `And I, lo, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every first-born opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been Mine;
- for Mine `is' every first-born, in the day of My smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every first-born in Israel, from man unto beast; Mine they are; I `am' Jehovah.'
- And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
- `Number the sons of Levi by the house of their fathers, by their families; every male from a son of a month and upward thou dost number them.'
- And Moses numbereth them according to the command of Jehovah, as he hath been commanded.
- And these are sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
- And these `are' the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.
- And the sons of Kohath, by their families, `are' Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
- And the sons of Merari by their families `are' Mahli and Mushi; these are the families of the Levites, by the house of their fathers.
