Berean Standard Bible
These
also
are
the generations
of Aaron and Moses in
the day
that
the LORD spake
with Moses in
mount Sinai.
This
is
the account
of Aaron and Moses at
the time
the LORD spoke
with Moses on
Mount Sinai.
And
these are the names of the sons of Aaron ;
Nadab the firstborn, and
Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
These are the names of the sons of Aaron :
Nadab the firstborn, then
Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
These are
the
names
of
the
sons of
Aaron
, the priests
which
were
anointed, whom
he
consecrated
to minister
in
the
priest's
office
.
These were
Aaron’s
sons, the anointed priests
, who
were
ordained
to serve
as
priests
.
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.
Nadab and Abihu ,
however,
died in
the presence
of
the
LORD when they offered unauthorized
fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai .
And since
they had no sons,
only
Eleazar and Ithamar served
as
priests
during
the lifetime
of their father Aaron
.
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
Then
the LORD said
to
Moses,
Bring the tribe of Levi near,
and present them before
Aaron the priest ,
that
they
may
minister
unto
him.
“
Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to
Aaron the priest to
assist
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.
They are
to
perform
duties
for
him
and for
the whole congregation before the Tent
of Meeting
, attending
to 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.
They shall take
care
of
all the furnishings
of the Tent
of Meeting
and fulfill
obligations
for
the Israelites
by
attending
to 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
.
Assign
the Levites to
Aaron and his sons ;
they have
been
given exclusively
to
him from
among
the Israelites
.
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.
So
you
shall
appoint Aaron and his sons to
carry
out
the duties
of
the
priesthood;
but
any
outsider
who
approaches
the
tabernacle
must
be put to death. ”
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
Again
the LORD spoke
to
Moses, saying,
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;
“
Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel in
place
of every
firstborn Israelite
from
the womb.
The Levites belong
to
Me,
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.
for
all the firstborn are Mine .
On the day I struck
down
every
firstborn in the land of Egypt ,
I consecrated
to
Myself
all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast .
They are
Mine;
I am the LORD. ”
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Then
the LORD spoke
to
Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Number the children
of
Levi
after
the
house
of
their
fathers,
by their families :

a month old and
upward
shalt
thou
number
them
.
“
Number the Levites
by their families and
clans.

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.
Then
the LORD said to
Moses, “
Number every
firstborn male
of the Israelites
a month old or
more
, and list
their names.
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
.
You
are
to
take the Levites for Me —
I am the LORD —in
place
of all the firstborn of Israel ,
and the livestock
of the Levites in
place
of all the firstborn
of the livestock
of the
Israelites
. ”
And
Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him ,
all
the
firstborn
among
the
children
of
Israel
.
So
Moses numbered all
the
firstborn
of
the
Israelites
, as the LORD had
commanded him.
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
.
The total
number of the
firstborn
males
a month old or
more
, listed
by
name
, was

And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
Again
the LORD spoke
to
Moses, saying,
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.
“
Take the Levites in
place
of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock
of the Levites in
place
of their livestock.
The Levites belong
to
Me;
I am the LORD.
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 ;
To redeem
the 273
firstborn Israelites
who
outnumber
the Levites ,
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 :)
you
are
to
collect
five shekels for
each
one
, according
to
the sanctuary shekel of
twenty gerahs .
And
thou
shalt
give the money ,
wherewith
the
odd
number
of
them
is
to be
redeemed,
unto
Aaron and to
his sons.
Give the money to Aaron and his sons as
the
redemption
price
for
the
excess
among
the
Israelites
. ”
And
Moses took
the redemption money of them
that
were
over
and
above
them
that
were
redeemed by the Levites :
So
Moses collected
the redemption money from
those
in
excess
of the
number
redeemed by the Levites .
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 :
He
collected
the money
from
the firstborn
of the Israelites:
1,365
shekels, according
to
the sanctuary shekel.
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
.
And Moses gave the redemption
money to
Aaron and his sons in
obedience
to the word of the LORD, just
as the LORD had
commanded him
.
