Numbers 3:6-16

6BringH7126 the tribeH4294 of LeviH3881 near, and presentH7126 them before AaronH175 the priestH3548, that they may minister unto him;

7and they shall keepH8104 his chargeH4931, and the chargeH4931 of the whole assemblyH5712, before the tentH168 of meetingH4150, to do the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908.

8And they shall keepH8104 all the utensilsH3627 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and the chargeH4931 of the children of IsraelH3478, to do the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908.

9And thou shalt giveH5414 the LevitesH3881 to AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121: they are wholly givenH5414 to him out of the children of IsraelH3478.

10And AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shalt thou appointH6485 that they may attend to their priest's office; and the stranger that cometh near shall be putH4191 to deathH4191.

11And Jehovah spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559,

12And I, behold, I have takenH3947 the LevitesH3881 from among the children of IsraelH3478 instead of every firstbornH1060 that breaketh open the wombH7358 among the children of IsraelH3478, and the LevitesH3881 shall beH1961 mine;

13for every firstbornH1060 is mine. On the dayH3117 that I smote all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, I hallowed unto me all the firstbornH1060 in IsraelH3478, both of manH120 and beast; mine shall they beH1961: I am Jehovah.

14And Jehovah spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 in the wildernessH4057 of SinaiH5514, sayingH559,

15Number the sonsH1121 of LeviH3881 according to their fathers' housesH1004, after their familiesH4940; every maleH2145 from a monthH2320 old and upwardH4605 shalt thou number them.

16And MosesH4872 numbered them, according to the commandment of Jehovah, — as he had been commandedH6680.
