Exodus 28:1“Next, have your brother Aaron brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, to serve Me as priests.Exodus 29:9Wrap the sashes around Aaron and his sons and tie headbands on them. The priesthood shall be theirs by a permanent statute. In this way you are to ordain Aaron and his sons.Exodus 32:26So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.Exodus 32:27He told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each of you men is to fasten his sword to his side, go back and forth through the camp from gate to gate, and slay his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.’”Exodus 32:28The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people fell dead.Leviticus 25:32As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.Leviticus 25:33So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.Leviticus 25:34But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.Numbers 1:47The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.Numbers 1:48For the LORD had said to Moses:Numbers 1:49“Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.Numbers 1:50Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.Numbers 1:51Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.Numbers 1:52The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.Numbers 1:53But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”Numbers 1:54Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.Numbers 2:17In the middle of the camps, the Tent of Meeting is to travel with the camp of the Levites. They are to set out in the order they encamped, each in his own place under his standard.Numbers 2:33But the Levites were not counted among the other Israelites, as the LORD had commanded Moses.Numbers 3:6“Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.Numbers 3:7They are to perform duties for him and for the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, attending to the service of the tabernacle.Numbers 3:8They shall take care of all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting and fulfill obligations for the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle.Numbers 3:9Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been given exclusively to him from among the Israelites.Numbers 3:10So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out the duties of the priesthood; but any outsider who approaches the tabernacle must be put to death.”Numbers 3:11Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,Numbers 3:12“Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel in place of every firstborn Israelite from the womb. The Levites belong to Me,Numbers 3:13for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine; I am the LORD.”Numbers 3:14Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,Numbers 3:15“Number the Levites by their families and clans. You are to count every male a month old or more.”Numbers 3:16So Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he had been commanded.Numbers 3:17These were the sons of Levi by name: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.Numbers 3:18These were the names of the sons of Gershon by their clans: Libni and Shimei.Numbers 3:19The sons of Kohath by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.Numbers 3:20And the sons of Merari by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites, according to their families.Numbers 3:21From Gershon came the Libnite clan and the Shimeite clan; these were the Gershonite clans.Numbers 3:22The number of all the males a month old or more was 7,500.Numbers 3:23The Gershonite clans were to camp on the west, behind the tabernacle,Numbers 3:24and the leader of the families of the Gershonites was Eliasaph son of Lael.Numbers 3:25The duties of the Gershonites at the Tent of Meeting were the tabernacle and tent, its covering, the curtain for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,Numbers 3:26the curtains of the courtyard, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, and the cords—all the service for these items.Numbers 3:27From Kohath came the clans of the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites; these were the clans of the Kohathites.Numbers 3:28The number of all the males a month old or more was 8,600. They were responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.Numbers 3:29The clans of the Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle,Numbers 3:30and the leader of the families of the Kohathites was Elizaphan son of Uzziel.Numbers 3:31Their duties were the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the articles of the sanctuary used with them, and the curtain—all the service for these items.Numbers 3:32The chief of the leaders of the Levites was Eleazar son of Aaron the priest; he oversaw those responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.Numbers 3:33From Merari came the clans of the Mahlites and Mushites; these were the Merarite clans.Numbers 3:34The number of all the males a month old or more was 6,200.Numbers 3:35The leader of the families of the Merarites was Zuriel son of Abihail; they were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle.Numbers 3:36The duties assigned to the sons of Merari were the tabernacle’s frames, crossbars, posts, bases, and all its equipment—all the service for these items,Numbers 3:37as well as the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes.Numbers 3:38Moses, Aaron, and Aaron’s sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle, toward the sunrise, before the Tent of Meeting. They were to perform the duties of the sanctuary as a service on behalf of the Israelites; but any outsider who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death.Numbers 3:39The total number of Levites that Moses and Aaron counted by their clans at the LORD’s command, including all the males a month old or more, was 22,000.Numbers 3:41You are to take the Levites for Me—I am the LORD—in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the Israelites.”Numbers 3:42So Moses numbered all the firstborn of the Israelites, as the LORD had commanded him.Numbers 3:43The total number of the firstborn males a month old or more, listed by name, was 22,273.Numbers 3:44Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,Numbers 3:45“Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock. The Levites belong to Me; I am the LORD.Numbers 4:1Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,Numbers 4:2“Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,Numbers 4:3men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
