Numbers 3:1-10

CLV(i) 1 These are the genealogical records of Aaron and Moses, on the day Yahweh spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai. 2 And these were the names of the sons of Aaron:the firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 3 These were the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whose hands he filled to serve as priests. 4 Yet Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh when they brought near alien fire before Yahweh in the wilderness of Sinai. They did not come to have sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests in the presence of Aaron their father. 5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. 6 Bring near the stock of Levi and stand them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him. 7 For they will keep charge for him and charge for the whole congregation before the tent of appointment to serve in the service of the tabernacle. 8 They will keep all the furnishings of the tent of appointment and the charge for the sons of Israel to serve in the service of the tabernacle. 9 To Aaron and to his sons will you give the Levites. They are the ones being given, yea given to Me from the sons of Israel. 10 And to Aaron and his sons shall you commit this that they observe their priesthood. But any alien who comes near shall be put to death.
