And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai in the tent of meeting, on the first of the second month, in the second year after their departure from the land of Egypt, saying,

And with you there shall be a man for every tribe, a man who is the head of his father's house.

And these are the names of the men that shall stand with you: for Reuben, Elizur the son of Shedeur;

And Moses and Aaron took these men who are expressed by their names,

and gathered the whole assembly together on the first of the second month. And they declared their pedigrees after their families, according to their fathers' houses, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and upward, according to their polls.

But thou, appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels; and they shall serve it, and round about the tabernacle shall they encamp;

and when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle encampeth, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.

And the children of Israel shall encamp every man in his camp, and every man by his own standard, according to their hosts;

but the Levites shall encamp round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there come not wrath upon the assembly of the children of Israel; and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

And the children of Israel did so; according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so did they.

Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him;

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;

for every firstborn is mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.

And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

Number the sons of Levi according to their fathers' houses, after their families; every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
