Moses, I have chosen these Levites from all Israel, and they will belong to me in a special way. When I killed the first-born sons of the Egyptians, I decided that the first-born sons in every Israelite family and the first-born males of their flocks and herds would be mine.

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 ."

Contextual Overview

¹ This is the family history of Aaron and Moses at the time the Lord talked to Moses on Mount Sinai. ² Aaron had four sons: Nadab, the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. ³ These were the names of Aaron's sons, who were appointed to serve as priests. ⁴ But Nadab and Abihu died in the presence of the Lord when they offered the wrong kind of fire before the Lord in the Desert of Sinai. They had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron. ⁵ The Lord said to Moses, ⁶ "Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to help him. ⁷ They will help him and all the Israelites at the Meeting Tent, doing the work in the Holy Tent. ⁸ The Levites must take care of everything in the Meeting Tent and serve the people of Israel by doing the work in the Holy Tent. ⁹ Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; of all the Israelites, the Levites are given completely to him. ¹⁰ Appoint Aaron and his sons to serve as priests, but anyone else who comes near the holy things must be put to death."
