3NOW THESE are the generations of Aaron and Moses when the Lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.H8435H175H4872H3117H3068H1696H4872H2022H5514 2These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.H8034H1121H175H5070H1060H30H499H385 3These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom Aaron consecrated {and} ordained to minister in the priest's office.H8034H1121H175H3548H4886H4390H3027H3547 4But Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord when they offered strange fire before the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai; and they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence {and} under the supervision of Aaron their father.H5070H30H4191H6440H3068H7126H2114H784H6440H3068H4057H5514H1121H499H385H3547H6440H175H1 5And the Lord said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H559 6Bring the tribe of Levi near and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.H7126H4294H3878H7126H5975H6440H175H3548H8334 7And they shall carry out his instructions and the duties connected with the whole assembly before the Tent of Meeting, doing the service of the tabernacle.H8104H4931H4931H5712H6440H168H4150H5647H5656H4908 8And they shall keep all the instruments {and} furnishings of the Tent of Meeting and take charge of [attending] the Israelites, to serve in the tabernacle.H8104H3627H168H4150H4931H1121H3478H5647H5656H4908 9And you shall give the Levites [as servants and helpers] to Aaron and his sons; they are wholly given to him from among the Israelites.H5414H3881H175H1121H5414H1121H3478 10And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall observe {and} attend to their priest's office; but the excluded [anyone daring to assume priestly duties or privileges who is not of the house of Aaron and called of God] who comes near [the holy things] shall be put to death.H6485H175H1121H8104H3550H2114H7131H4191 11And the Lord said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H559 12Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the Israelites instead of every firstborn who opens the womb among the Israelites; and the Levites shall be Mine,H3947H3881H8432H1121H3478H1060H6363H7358H1121H3478H3881 13For all the firstborn are Mine. On the day that I slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated for Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast; Mine they shall be. I am the Lord.H1060H3117H5221H1060H776H4714H6942H1060H3478H120H929H3068 14And the Lord said to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai,H3068H1696H4872H4057H5514H559 15Number the sons of Levi by their fathers' houses and by families. Every male from a month old and upward you shall number.H6485H1121H3878H1004H1H4940H2145H2320H1121H4605H6485 16So Moses numbered them as he was commanded by the word of the Lord.H4872H6485H6310H3068H6680 17These were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.H1121H3878H8034H1648H6955H4847 18And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.H8034H1121H1648H4940H3845H8096 19The sons of Kohath by their families: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.H1121H6955H4940H6019H3324H2275H5816 20The sons of Merari by their families: Mahli and Mushi.
