                                    These also [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day [that] the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:2 | 
                                 
                                    And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:3 | 
                                 
                                    These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:4 | 
                                 
                                    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.

                                    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:6 | 
                                 
                                    Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.

                                    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.
                                 
                             |

                                    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.

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

                                    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.

                                    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:12 | 
                                 
                                    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;
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:13 | 
                                 
                                    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.

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

                                    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.

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

                                    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.
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:41 | 
                                 
                                    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.
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:42 | 
                                 
                                    And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:43 | 
                                 
                                    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.

                                    And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:45 | 
                                 
                                    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.
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:46 | 
                                 
                                    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;
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:47 | 
                                 
                                    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:)
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:48 | 
                                 
                                    And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:49 | 
                                 
                                    And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:50 | 
                                 
                                    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:
                                 
                             | 
                        
| 3:51 | 
                                 
                                    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.
