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 thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine.
At that time Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
