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.

And these are the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, according to their fathers' houses,

but this shall ye do unto them, that they may live, and not die, when they draw near unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden;

But as surely as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah!

Say unto them, As surely as I live, saith Jehovah, if I do not do unto you as ye have spoken in mine ears!

And Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, made bold, and with him Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, the sons of Reuben;

And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi!

that he has brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye now the priesthood also?

the censers of these sinners who have forfeited their life; and they shall make them into broad plates for the covering of the altar; for they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are hallowed; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring near with thee, that they may unite with thee, and minister unto thee; but thou and thy sons with thee shall serve before the tent of the testimony.

And to the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithes in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they perform, the service of the tent of meeting.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, and looketh upon it, shall live.
