10. “And appoint Aharon and his sons, and they shall guard their priesthood. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
11. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
12. “Now look, I Myself have taken the Lĕwites from among the children of Yisra’ĕl instead of every first-born who opens the womb among the children of Yisra’ĕl. And the Lĕwites shall be Mine,
13. because all the first-born are Mine. On the day that I struck all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, I set apart to Myself all the first-born in Yisra’ĕl, both man and beast. They are Mine, I am יהוה.”
14. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15. “Register the children of Lĕwi by their fathers’ houses, by their clans. Register every male from a month old and above.”
16. So Mosheh registered them according to the word of יהוה, as he had been commanded.
17. And these were the sons of Lĕwi by their names: Gĕreshon, and Qehath, and Merari.
18. And these are the names of the sons of Gĕreshon by their clans: Liḇni and Shim‛i.
19. And the sons of Qehath by their clans: Amram and Yitshar, Ḥeḇron and Uzzi’ĕl.
20. And the sons of Merari by their clans: Maḥli and Mushi. These are the clans of the Lĕwites by their fathers’ houses.
