003:001

And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar

003:002

These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office

003:003

And 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: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father

003:004

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying

003:005

Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him

003:006

And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle

003:007

And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle

003:008

And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel

003:009

And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death

003:010

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying

003:011

And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine

003:012

Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD

003:013

And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying

003:014

Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them

003:015

And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded

003:016

And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari

003:018

And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel

And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers

003:020

Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites

003:021

Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred

003:022

The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward

003:023

And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael

003:024

And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation

003:025

And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof

003:026

And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites

003:027

In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary

003:028

The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward

003:029

And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel

003:030

And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof

003:031

And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary

003:032

Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari

003:033

And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred

003:034

And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward

003:035

And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto

003:036

And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords

003:037

But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death

003:038

All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand

003:039

And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names

003:040

And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel

003:041

And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel

003:042

And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen

003:043

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying

003:044

Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the LORD

003:045

And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites

003:046

Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:

003:047

And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons

003:048

And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites

003:049

Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary

003:050

And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses
