1 This is the lineage of Aaron and Moses at the time when the Lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
1 This is the account of the family of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar;
2 The names of the sons of Aaron were Nadab the firstborn and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
3 these are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whom he ordained to minister as priests.
3 Those were the names of Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.
4 Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord when they offered unholy fire before the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests in the lifetime of their father Aaron.
4 Nadab and Abihu, however, died before the LORD when they made an offering with unauthorized fire before him in the Desert of Sinai. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
5 The LORD said to Moses,
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, so that they may assist him.
6 “Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.
7 They shall perform duties for him and for the whole congregation in front of the tent of meeting, doing service at the tabernacle;
7 They are to perform duties for him and for the whole community at the tent of meeting by doing the work of the tabernacle.
8 they shall be in charge of all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, and attend to the duties for the Israelites as they do service at the tabernacle.
8 They are to take care of all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, fulfilling the obligations of the Israelites by doing the work of the tabernacle.
9 You shall give the Levites to Aaron and his descendants; they are unreservedly given to him from among the Israelites.
9 Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to him.
10 But you shall make a register of Aaron and his descendants; it is they who shall attend to the priesthood, and any outsider who comes near shall be put to death.
10 Appoint Aaron and his sons to serve as priests; anyone else who approaches the sanctuary is to be put to death.”
11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
11 The LORD also said to Moses,
12 I hereby accept the Levites from among the Israelites as substitutes for all the firstborn that open the womb among the Israelites. The Levites shall be mine,
12 “I have taken the Levites from among the Israelites in place of the first male offspring of every Israelite woman. The Levites are mine,
13 for all the firstborn are mine; when I killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated for my own all the firstborn in Israel, both human and animal; they shall be mine. I am the Lord.
13 for all the firstborn are mine. When I struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, I set apart for myself every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal. They are to be mine. I am the LORD.”
