THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "I have taken the Levites from among the People of Israel as a stand-in for every Israelite mother's firstborn son. The Levites belong to me. All the firstborn are mine—when I killed all the firstborn in Egypt, I consecrated for my own use every firstborn in Israel, whether human or animal. They belong to me. I am God ."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Contextual Overview

1 And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day Jehovah spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai. 2 And these are the names of Aaron's sons: Nadab, the first-born; and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of Aaron's sons, the anointed priests whose hands he consecrated to act as priests. 4 And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, for bringing strange fire before Jehovah. And they had no sons. And Eleazar and Ithamar acted as priests in the presence of their father Aaron. 5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and you shall cause it to stand before Aaron the priest. And they shall serve him, 7 and keep his charge, and the charge of all the congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle. 8 And they shall keep all the vessels of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 9 And you shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his son. Giving they shall be given to him out of the sons of Israel. 10 And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
