“ Bring the men of the tribe of Levi to Aaron the priest. They will help him.

The priests in the family line of Aaron were separated into groups. The groups were separated according to the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

Prepare yourselves by families in your groups. Do it based on the directions written by David, the king of Israel, and by his son Solomon.“ Stand at the temple. Stand there with a group of Levites for each group of families among your people.

David had become very old. So he made his son Solomon king over Israel.He gathered together all the leaders of Israel. He also gathered the priests and the Levites together.The Levites who were 30 years old or more were counted. The total number of men was 38,000.David said,“ From them, 24,000 will be in charge of the work of the Lord’ s temple. And 6,000 will be officials and judges.Another 4,000 will guard the gates. And 4,000 will praise the Lord with the instruments of music I’ve provided for that purpose.”David separated the Levites into groups. He did it according to the sons of Levi. The sons were Gershon, Kohath and Merari.Ladan and Shimei belonged to the family of Gershon.The sons of Ladan were Jehiel, Zetham and Joel. Jehiel was the oldest son. The total number of sons was three.The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth, Haziel and Haran. The total number of sons was three. They were the leaders of the families of Ladan.The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Ziza, Jeush and Beriah. The total number of the sons of Shimei was four.Jahath was the first son. Ziza was the second son. But Jeush and Beriah didn’t have many sons. So they were counted as one family. They had only one task.The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. The total number of sons was four.The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. Aaron and his family line were set apart forever as the Lord’ s priests. They had the duty of setting the most holy things apart to the Lord. They offered sacrifices to the Lord. They served him. They gave blessings in his name forever.The sons of Moses, the man of God, were counted as part of the tribe of Levi.The sons of Moses were Gershom and Eliezer.Shubael was the oldest son in the family line of Gershom.Rehabiah was the oldest son in the family line of Eliezer. Eliezer didn’t have any other sons. But Rehabiah had a great many sons.Shelomith was the oldest son of Izhar.Jeriah was the first son of Hebron. Amariah was his second son. Jahaziel was the third. Jekameam was the fourth.Micah was the first son of Uzziel. Ishiah was his second son.The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.Eleazar died without having any sons. All he had was daughters. They married their cousins. The cousins were the sons of Kish.The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder and Jerimoth. The total number of sons was three.Those were the family lines of Levi. They were recorded under the names of the family leaders. Each worker who was 20 years old or more was counted. They served in the Lord’ s temple.David had said,“ The Lord is the God of Israel. He has given peace and rest to his people. He has come to Jerusalem to live there forever.So the Levites don’t need to carry the holy tent anymore. They don’t need to carry any of its objects anymore. Those were the things that were used to serve there.”

Bring the Levites to the front of the tent of meeting. Gather the whole community of Israel together.You must bring the Levites to me. The Israelites must place their hands on them.Aaron must bring the Levites to me. They are a wave offering from the Israelites. That is how they will be set apart to do my work.“ Then I want the Levites to place their hands on the heads of the bulls. They must sacrifice one bull as a sin offering to me. And they must sacrifice the other as a burnt offering. The blood of the bulls will pay for the sin of the Levites.Have the Levites stand in front of Aaron and his sons. Then give them as a wave offering to me.That is how I want you to set apart the Levites from the other Israelites. The Levites will belong to me.“ Make the Levites pure. Give them to me as a wave offering. Then they must come to do their work at the tent of meeting.They are the Israelites who will be given to me completely. I have taken them to be my own. I have taken them in place of every son born first in his family in Israel.Every male born first in Israel belongs to me. That is true whether it is a human or an animal. In Egypt I struck down all the males born first to their mothers. Then I set apart for myself all the males born first in Israel.And I have taken the Levites in place of all the sons born first in Israel.I have given the Levites as gifts to Aaron and his sons. I have taken them from among all the Israelites. I have appointed them to do the work at the tent of meeting. They will do it in place of the Israelites. That is how they will keep the Israelites from being guilty when they go near the sacred tent. Then no plague will strike the Israelites when they go near the tent.”So Moses and Aaron and all the Israelites did with the Levites just as the Lord had commanded Moses.The Levites made themselves pure. They washed their clothes. Then Aaron gave them to the Lord as a wave offering. That’s how he paid for their sin to make them pure.After that, the Levites came to do their work at the tent of meeting. They worked under the direction of Aaron and his sons. And so Moses and Aaron and the whole community of Israel did with the Levites just as the Lord had commanded Moses.The Lord said to Moses,“ Here is what the Levites must do. Men 25 years old or more must come and take part in the work at the tent of meeting.But when they reach the age of 50, they must not work any longer. They must stop doing their regular work.They can help their brothers with their duties at the tent of meeting. But they themselves should not do the work. That is how you must direct the Levites to do their work.”
