Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Mer´emoth the son of Uri´ah the priest; and with him was Ele-a´zar the son of Phin´ehas; and with them was Joz´abad the son of Jesh´u-a, and Noadi´ah the son of Bin´nu-i, Levites;
And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abi´hu, Ele-a´zar and Ith´amar, Aaron's sons.
And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Ele-a´zar and Ith´amar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,
And Ele-a´zar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
And Nadab and Abi´hu died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Si´nai, and they had no children: and Ele-a´zar and Ith´amar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
