And Jehovah spoke to Moses saying,
And you shall know that I have sent this command to you, to be My covenant with Levi, says Jehovah of Hosts.
And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of all the first-born that open the womb from the sons of Israel. Therefore the Levites shall be Mine.
