Numbers 3:1-10

Leeser(i) 1 And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, on the day that the Lord spoke with Moses on mount Sinai. 2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: the firstborn Nadab, and Abihu, Elazar, and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, who were consecrated to minister as priests. 4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered a strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Elazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the life-time of Aaron their father. 5 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying, 6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present the same before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him. 7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. 8 And they shall keep all the vessels of the tent of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 9 And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: as associates are they given unto him out of the children of Israel. 10 And Aaron and his sons shalt thou instruct, that they shall guard well their priest’s office; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
