1 Now this is the genealogy of Aaron and Moses. On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses at mount Sina,
2 these were the names of Aaron's sons, Nadab his first born, and Abiud, Eleazar and Ithamar.
3 These were the names of Aaron's sons who were anointed priests, whose hands were consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
4 But Nadab and Abiud died in the presence of the Lord, upon their offering strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sina, and they had no children; so Eleazar and Ithamar officiated as priests with their father.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 Take the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt present them before Aaron the priest, and they shall minister to him,
7 and keep his watches, and the watches of the children of Israel before the tabernacle of the testimony, to do the works of the tabernacle.
8 Now that they may keep all the utensils of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the watches of the children of Israel, as far as they respect all the works of the tabernacle;
9 and that thou mayst give the Levites, to Aaron and his sons the priests; they are to be given to me as a gift from among the children of Israel.
10 And thou shalt set Aaron and his sons over the tabernacle of the testimony, and they shall keep watch over their priesthood, and all that appertain to the altar, and that are within the veil; and if any one of another family touch these, he shall be put to death.
