And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spake with Moses in mount Sinai.And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the first- born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests that were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah, when they offered strange fire before Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.

And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy fathers’ house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.And thy brethren also, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou near with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall be before the tent of the testimony.And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come nigh unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the altar, that they die not, neither they, nor ye.And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be wrath no more upon the children of Israel.And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given unto Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting.And thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for everything of the altar, and for that within the veil; and ye shall serve: I give you the priesthood as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, And I, behold, I have given thee the charge of my heave- offerings, even all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, as a portion for ever.This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, even every meal- offering of theirs, and every sin- offering of theirs, and every trespass- offering of theirs, which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.As the most holy things shalt thou eat thereof; every male shall eat thereof: it shall be holy unto thee.And this is thine: the heave- offering of their gift, even all the wave- offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.All the best of the oil, and all the best of the vintage, and of the grain, the first- fruits of them which they give unto Jehovah, to thee have I given them.The first- ripe fruits of all that is in their land, which they bring unto Jehovah, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thy house shall eat thereof.Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine.Everything that openeth the womb, of all flesh which they offer unto Jehovah, both of man and beast shall be thine: nevertheless the first- born of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.And those that are to be redeemed of them from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary( the same is twenty gerahs).But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah.And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave- breast and as the right thigh, it shall be thine.All the heave- offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto Jehovah, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as a portion for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before Jehovah unto thee and to thy seed with thee.And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any portion among them: I am thy portion and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.And unto the children of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they serve, even the service of the tent of meeting.And henceforth the children of Israel shall not come nigh the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin, and die.But the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations; and among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.For the tithe of the children of Israel, which they offer as a heave- offering unto Jehovah, I have given to the Levites for an inheritance: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,Moreover thou shalt speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithe which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up a heave- offering of it for Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.And your heave- offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the grain of the threshing- floor, and as the fulness of the winepress.Thus ye also shall offer a heave- offering unto Jehovah of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and thereof ye shall give Jehovah’s heave- offering to Aaron the priest.Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave- offering of Jehovah, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye heave the best thereof from it, then it shall be reckoned unto the Levites as the increase of the threshing- floor, and as the increase of the wine- press.And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward in return for your service in the tent of meeting.And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best thereof: and ye shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that ye die not.

And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: sprinkle the water of expiation upon them, and let them cause a razor to pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and cleanse themselves.Then let them take a young bullock, and its meal- offering, fine flour mingled with oil; and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin- offering.And thou shalt present the Levites before the tent of meeting: and thou shalt assemble the whole congregation of the children of Israel:and thou shalt present the Levites before Jehovah. And the children of Israel shall lay their hands upon the Levites:and Aaron shall offer the Levites before Jehovah for a wave- offering, on the behalf of the children of Israel, that it may be theirs to do the service of Jehovah.And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and offer thou the one for a sin- offering, and the other for a burnt- offering, unto Jehovah, to make atonement for the Levites.And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for a wave- offering unto Jehovah.Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tent of meeting: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for a wave- offering.For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of all that openeth the womb, even the first- born of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.For all the first- born among the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote all the first- born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.And I have taken the Levites instead of all the first- born among the children of Israel.And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the Levites: according unto all that Jehovah commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes: and Aaron offered them for a wave- offering before Jehovah; and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,This is that which belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service in the work of the tent of meeting:and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the work, and shall serve no more,but shall minister with their brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charges.

Moreover David and the captains of the host set apart for the service certain of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of them that did the work according to their service was:of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asharelah, the sons of Asaph, under the hand of Asaph, who prophesied after the order of the king.Of Jeduthun; the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising Jehovah.Of Heman; the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamti- ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, Mahazioth.All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Jehovah, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.And the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in singing unto Jehovah, even all that were skilful, was two hundred fourscore and eight.And they cast lots for their offices, all alike, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.Now the first lot came forth for Asaph to Joseph: the second to Gedaliah; he and his brethren and sons were twelve:the third to Zaccur, his sons and his brethren, twelve:the fourth to Izri, his sons and his brethren, twelve:the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve:the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve:the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his brethren, twelve:the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve:the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve:the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his brethren, twelve:the eleventh to Azarel, his sons and his brethren, twelve:the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve:for the thirteenth, Shubael, his sons and his brethren, twelve:for the fourteenth, Mattithiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve:for the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve:for the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve:for the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and his brethren, twelve:for the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons and his brethren, twelve:for the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons and his brethren, twelve:

seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them;and that he hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and seek ye the priesthood also?
