3:1 These
are
the
generations
of
Aaron
and
Moses
at
the
time
when
the
LORD
spoke
with
Moses
on
Mount
Sinai.
3:2 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
anointed
priests,
whom
he
ordained
to
serve
as
priests.
3:4 But
Nadab
and
Abihu
died
before
the
LORD
when
they
offered
unauthorized
fire
before
the
LORD
in
the
wilderness
of
Sinai,
and
they
had
no
children.
So
Eleazar
and
Ithamar
served
as
priests
in
the
lifetime
of
Aaron
their
father.
3:5 And
the
LORD
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
3:6 "Bring
the
tribe
of
Levi
near,
and
set
them
before
Aaron
the
priest,
that
they
may
minister
to
him.
3:7 They
shall
keep
guard
over
him
and
over
the
whole
congregation
before
the
tent
of
meeting,
as
they
minister
at
the
tabernacle.
3:8 They
shall
guard
all
the
furnishings
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
and
keep
guard
over
the
people
of
Israel
as
they
minister
at
the
tabernacle.
3:9 And
you
shall
give
the
Levites
to
Aaron
and
his
sons;
they
are
wholly
given
to
him
from
among
the
people
of
Israel.
3:10 And
you
shall
appoint
Aaron
and
his
sons,
and
they
shall
guard
their
priesthood.
But
if
any
outsider
comes
near,
he
shall
be
put
to
death."
3:11 And
the
LORD
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
3:12 "Behold,
I
have
taken
the
Levites
from
among
the
people
of
Israel
instead
of
every
firstborn
who
opens
the
womb
among
the
people
of
Israel.
The
Levites
shall
be
mine,
3:13 for
all
the
firstborn
are
mine.
On
the
day
that
I
struck
down
all
the
firstborn
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
I
consecrated
for
my
own
all
the
firstborn
in
Israel,
both
of
man
and
of
beast.
They
shall
be
mine:
I
am
the
LORD."
3:14 And
the
LORD
spoke
to
Moses
in
the
wilderness
of
Sinai,
saying,
3:15 "List
the
sons
of
Levi,
by
fathers'
houses
and
by
clans;
every
male
from
a
month
old
and
upward
you
shall
list."
3:16 So
Moses
listed
them
according
to
the
word
of
the
LORD,
as
he
was
commanded.
3:17 And
these
were
the
sons
of
Levi
by
their
names:
Gershon
and
Kohath
and
Merari.
3:18 And
these
are
the
names
of
the
sons
of
Gershon
by
their
clans:
Libni
and
Shimei.
3:19 And
the
sons
of
Kohath
by
their
clans:
Amram,
Izhar,
Hebron,
and
Uzziel.
3:20 And
the
sons
of
Merari
by
their
clans:
Mahli
and
Mushi.
These
are
the
clans
of
the
Levites,
by
their
fathers'
houses.
3:21 To
Gershon
belonged
the
clan
of
the
Libnites
and
the
clan
of
the
Shimeites;
these
were
the
clans
of
the
Gershonites.
3:22 Their
listing
according
to
the
number
of
all
the
males
from
a
month
old
and
upward
was
7,500.
3:23 The
clans
of
the
Gershonites
were
to
camp
behind
the
tabernacle
on
the
west,
3:24 with
Eliasaph,
the
son
of
Lael
as
chief
of
the
fathers'
house
of
the
Gershonites.
3:25 And
the
guard
duty
of
the
sons
of
Gershon
in
the
tent
of
meeting
involved
the
tabernacle,
the
tent
with
its
covering,
the
screen
for
the
entrance
of
the
tent
of
meeting,
3:26 the
hangings
of
the
court,
the
screen
for
the
door
of
the
court
that
is
around
the
tabernacle
and
the
altar,
and
its
cords--all
the
service
connected
with
these.
3:27 To
Kohath
belonged
the
clan
of
the
Amramites
and
the
clan
of
the
Izharites
and
the
clan
of
the
Hebronites
and
the
clan
of
the
Uzzielites;
these
are
the
clans
of
the
Kohathites.
3:28 According
to
the
number
of
all
the
males,
from
a
month
old
and
upward,
there
were
8,600,
keeping
guard
over
the
sanctuary.
3:29 The
clans
of
the
sons
of
Kohath
were
to
camp
on
the
south
side
of
the
tabernacle,
3:30 with
Elizaphan
the
son
of
Uzziel
as
chief
of
the
fathers'
house
of
the
clans
of
the
Kohathites.
3:31 And
their
guard
duty
involved
the
ark,
the
table,
the
lampstand,
the
altars,
the
vessels
of
the
sanctuary
with
which
the
priests
minister,
and
the
screen;
all
the
service
connected
with
these.
3:32 And
Eleazar
the
son
of
Aaron
the
priest
was
to
be
chief
over
the
chiefs
of
the
Levites,
and
to
have
oversight
of
those
who
kept
guard
over
the
sanctuary.
3:33 To
Merari
belonged
the
clan
of
the
Mahlites
and
the
clan
of
the
Mushites:
these
are
the
clans
of
Merari.
3:34 Their
listing
according
to
the
number
of
all
the
males
from
a
month
old
and
upward
was
6,200.
3:35 And
the
chief
of
the
fathers'
house
of
the
clans
of
Merari
was
Zuriel
the
son
of
Abihail.
They
were
to
camp
on
the
north
side
of
the
tabernacle.
3:36 And
the
appointed
guard
duty
of
the
sons
of
Merari
involved
the
frames
of
the
tabernacle,
the
bars,
the
pillars,
the
bases,
and
all
their
accessories;
all
the
service
connected
with
these;
3:37 also
the
pillars
around
the
court,
with
their
bases
and
pegs
and
cords.
3:38 Those
who
were
to
camp
before
the
tabernacle
on
the
east,
before
the
tent
of
meeting
toward
the
sunrise,
were
Moses
and
Aaron
and
his
sons,
guarding
the
sanctuary
itself,
to
protect
the
people
of
Israel.
And
any
outsider
who
came
near
was
to
be
put
to
death.
3:39 All
those
listed
among
the
Levites,
whom
Moses
and
Aaron
listed
at
the
commandment
of
the
LORD,
by
clans,
all
the
males
from
a
month
old
and
upward,
were
22,000.
3:40 And
the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
"List
all
the
firstborn
males
of
the
people
of
Israel,
from
a
month
old
and
upward,
taking
the
number
of
their
names.
3:41 And
you
shall
take
the
Levites
for
me--I
am
the
LORD--instead
of
all
the
firstborn
among
the
people
of
Israel,
and
the
cattle
of
the
Levites
instead
of
all
the
firstborn
among
the
cattle
of
the
people
of
Israel."
3:42 So
Moses
listed
all
the
firstborn
among
the
people
of
Israel,
as
the
LORD
commanded
him.
3:43 And
all
the
firstborn
males,
according
to
the
number
of
names,
from
a
month
old
and
upward
as
listed
were
22,273.
3:44 And
the
LORD
spoke
to
Moses,
saying,
3:45 "Take
the
Levites
instead
of
all
the
firstborn
among
the
people
of
Israel,
and
the
cattle
of
the
Levites
instead
of
their
cattle.
The
Levites
shall
be
mine:
I
am
the
LORD.
3:46 And
as
the
redemption
price
for
the
273
of
the
firstborn
of
the
people
of
Israel,
over
and
above
the
number
of
the
male
Levites,
3:47 you
shall
take
five
shekels
per
head;
you
shall
take
them
according
to
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary
(the
shekel
of
twenty
gerahs),
3:48 and
give
the
money
to
Aaron
and
his
sons
as
the
redemption
price
for
those
who
are
over."
3:49 So
Moses
took
the
redemption
money
from
those
who
were
over
and
above
those
redeemed
by
the
Levites.
3:50 From
the
firstborn
of
the
people
of
Israel
he
took
the
money,
1,365
shekels,
by
the
shekel
of
the
sanctuary.
3:51 And
Moses
gave
the
redemption
money
to
Aaron
and
his
sons,
according
to
the
word
of
the
LORD,
as
the
LORD
commanded
Moses.
