*
Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in 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 priests who were anointed ,
whom he consecrated to serve in the priest '
s office .
*
And Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh ,
when they offered strange fire before Yahweh ,
in the wilderness of Sinai ,
and they had no sons ;
and Eleazar and Ithamar served in the priest '
s office in the presence of Aaron their father .
*
And Yahweh spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
Bring the tribe of Levi near ,
and set them before Aaron the priest ,
that they may minister to him .
*
And they will keep his charge ,
and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting ,
to do the service of the tabernacle .
*
And they will keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting ,
and the charge of the sons of Israel ,
to do the service of the tabernacle .
*
And you will give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons :
they are wholly given to him on the behalf of the sons of Israel .
*
And you will appoint Aaron and his sons ,
and they will keep their priesthood :
and the stranger who comes near will be put to death .
*
And Yahweh spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
And I ,
look ,
I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of all the firstborn that opens the womb among the sons of Israel ;
and the Levites will be mine :
*
for all the firstborn are mine ;
on the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed to me all the firstborn in Israel ,
from man to beast ;
they will be mine :
I am Yahweh .
*
And Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai ,
saying ,
*
Number the sons of Levi by their fathers '
houses ,
by their families :
every male from a month old and upward ,
you will number them .
*
And Moses numbered them according to the word of Yahweh ,
as it was commanded .

and the cords of it for all its service .
*
And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites ,
and the family of the Izharites ,
and the family of the Hebronites ,
and the family of the Uzzielites :
these are the families of the Kohathites .
*
According to the number of all the males ,
from a month old and upward ,
there were eight thousand and three hundred ,
keeping the charge of the sanctuary .
*
The families of the sons of Kohath will encamp on the side of the tabernacle southward .
*
And the prince of the fathers '
house of the families of the Kohathites will be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel .
*
And their charge will be the ark ,

*
All who were numbered of the Levites ,
whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Yahweh ,
by their families ,
all the males from a month old and upward ,
were twenty and two thousand .
*
And Yahweh said to Moses ,
Number all the firstborn males of the sons of Israel from a month old and upward ,
and take the number of their names .
*
And you will take the Levites for me (
I am Yahweh )
instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel ;
and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstborns among the cattle of the sons of Israel :
*
and Moses numbered ,
as Yahweh commanded him ,
all the firstborn among the sons of Israel .
*
And all the firstborn males according to the number of names ,
from a month old and upward ,
of those who were numbered of them ,
were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen .
*
And Yahweh spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
*
Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel ,
and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle ;
and the Levites will be mine :
I am Yahweh .
*
And for the redemption of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the sons of Israel ,
who are over and above [
the number of ]
the Levites ,
*
you will take five shekels apiece by the poll ;
after the shekel of the sanctuary you will take them (
the shekel is twenty gerahs ):
*
and you will give the money ,
with which the odd number of them is redeemed ,
to Aaron and to his sons .
*
And Moses took the redemption-money from those who were over and above those who were redeemed by the Levites ;
*
from the firstborn of the sons of Israel he took the money ,
a thousand three hundred and threescore and five [
shekels ],
after the shekel of the sanctuary :
*
and Moses gave the redemption-money to Aaron and to his sons ,
according to the word of Yahweh ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
