THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses. He said, "Bring forward the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron so they can help him. They shall work for him and the whole congregation at the Tent of Meeting by doing the work of The Dwelling. Their job is to be responsible for all the furnishings of The Dwelling, ministering to the affairs of The Dwelling as the People of Israel come to perform their duties. Turn the Levites over to Aaron and his sons; they are the ones assigned to work full time for him. Appoint Aaron and his sons to minister as priests; anyone else who tries to elbow his way in will be put to death."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Then 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.
