1These also are the generations8435 of Aaron175 and Moses4872 in the day3117 that the LORD3068 spake1696 with Moses4872 in mount2022 Sinai5514.
2And these are the names8034 of the sons1121 of Aaron175; Nadab5070 the firstborn1060, and Abihu30, Eleazar499, and Ithamar385.
3These are the names8034 of the sons1121 of Aaron175, the priests3548 which were anointed4886, whom he consecrated4390 3027 to minister in the priest's office3547.
4And Nadab5070 and Abihu30 died4191 before6440 the LORD3068, when they offered7126 strange2114 fire784 before6440 the LORD3068, in the wilderness4057 of Sinai5514, and they had no children1121: and Eleazar499 and Ithamar385 ministered in the priest's office3547 in the sight6440 of Aaron175 their father1.
5And the LORD3068 spake1696 unto Moses4872, saying559,
6Bring7126 the tribe4294 of Levi3878 near7126, and present5975 them before6440 Aaron175 the priest3548, that they may minister8334 unto him.
7And they shall keep8104 his charge4931, and the charge4931 of the whole congregation5712 before6440 the tabernacle168 of the congregation4150, to do5647 the service5656 of the tabernacle4908.
8And they shall keep8104 all the instruments3627 of the tabernacle168 of the congregation4150, and the charge4931 of the children1121 of Israel3478, to do5647 the service5656 of the tabernacle4908.
9And thou shalt give5414 the Levites3881 unto Aaron175 and to his sons1121: they are wholly given5414 unto him out of the children1121 of Israel3478.
10And thou shalt appoint6485 Aaron175 and his sons1121, and they shall wait on8104 their priest's office3550: and the stranger2114 that cometh nigh7131 shall be put to death4191.
11And the LORD3068 spake1696 unto Moses4872, saying559,
12And I, behold, I have taken3947 the Levites3881 from among8432 the children1121 of Israel3478 instead of all the firstborn1060 that openeth6363 the matrix7358 among the children1121 of Israel3478: therefore the Levites3881 shall be mine;
13Because all the firstborn1060 are mine; for on the day3117 that I smote5221 all the firstborn1060 in the land776 of Egypt4714 I hallowed6942 unto me all the firstborn1060 in Israel3478, both man120 and beast929: mine shall they be: I am the LORD3068.
14And the LORD3068 spake1696 unto Moses4872 in the wilderness4057 of Sinai5514, saying559,

46And for those that are to be redeemed6302 of the two hundred3967 and threescore and thirteen7657 7969 of the firstborn1060 of the children1121 of Israel3478, which are more5736 than5921 the Levites3881;
