1. When the Lord talked with Moses on Mount Sinai,
2. Aaron's four sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar,
3. were the ones to be ordained as priests.
11-13. Moses, I have chosen these Levites from all Israel, and they will belong to me in a special way. When I killed the firstborn sons of the Egyptians, I decided that the firstborn sons in every Israelite family and the firstborn males of their flocks and herds would be mine. But now I accept these Levites in place of the firstborn sons of the Israelites.
