1. Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
2. And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3. These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
4. And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah, when they offered strange fire before Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
5. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
6. Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
7. And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
8. And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
