1These are the vibes of Aaron and Moses when the Lord was chatting with Moses on Mount Sinai.

2And here are the names of Aaron's squad; Nadab, the firstborn, plus Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

3These are the names of Aaron's crew, the priests who got anointed, ready to pop off in the priest’s role.

4But Nadab and Abihu went out like a light before the Lord when they brought some sus fire in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no kids: Eleazar and Ithamar kept serving in the priest’s role under Aaron, their dad.

5Then the Lord hit up Moses, saying,

6Bring the Levi tribe close, and show them to Aaron the priest, so they can serve him.

7They gotta keep the charge and handle the whole squad’s business before the tabernacle, doing the service there.

8They’ll take care of all the gear for the tabernacle and manage the kids of Israel, keeping the service lit.

9You gotta give the Levites to Aaron and his boys: they’re totally dedicated to him from the children of Israel.

10Appoint Aaron and his sons, and they’ll be on their priest duties: anyone who rolls up close better watch out, 'cause they’re getting put down, no cap.

11God hit up Moses, like, "Yo, check it out."

12And I'm like, I took the Levites from the fam of Israel instead of all the firstborns that pop out first: so the Levites are my peeps now, no cap.

13All the firstborns are mine; when I flexed on the firstborns in Egypt, I claimed all the firstborns in Israel, people and animals: they’re mine, periodt.

14God hit up Moses again in the Sinai vibes, saying,

15Count the kids of Levi by their fams: every dude from a month old and up, you gotta count them.

16Moses did the counting just like God told him to, fr.

17These are the Levi fams: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, lit.

18And here are the names of Gershon’s fams: Libni and Shimei, vibes.

19And the fams of Kohath: Amram, Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel, no cap.

20And the fams of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the Levite squads by their fams.

21Gershon's fam got the Libnites and the Shimites, and those are the Gershonite vibes.

22They counted all the guys from a month old and up, and it was a solid seven thousand five hundred, no cap.

23The Gershonite fams are gonna chill behind the tabernacle, facing west, periodt.

24Eliasaph, son of Lael, is the big boss of the Gershonites, goated leadership.

25The Gershon squad's job is the tabernacle, the tent, the cover, and the door hangings, all that bussin stuff.

26They also got the court hangings and the door curtain for the court by the tabernacle and altar, keeping it all in check.

27Kohath's fam includes the Amramites, Izeharites, Hebronites, and Uzzielites, that's the Kohathite crew.

28Counting all the males from a month old and up, it was eight thousand six hundred, holding down the sanctuary duties.

29The Kohath fams are gonna set up on the south side of the tabernacle, lit vibes.

30Elizaphan, son of Uzziel, is the head honcho for the Kohathite fams, straight up rizz.

31Their squad's got the ark, the table, the candlestick, and all the holy vibes to keep it lit.

32Eleazar, Aaron's kid, is the boss of the Levites, making sure they run the sanctuary right, no cap.

33Merari's crew is the Mahlites and Mushites; those are the fams repping Merari.

34They counted up all the guys from a month old and up, and it was six thousand two hundred, fr.

35Zuriel, Abihail's son, is the big cheese for Merari's fams, setting up camp on the north side of the tabernacle.

36Merari's squad is in charge of the tabernacle boards, bars, pillars, and all the holy gear, periodt.

37They also got the pillars around the court, plus their sockets, pins, and cords, all that jazz.

38Moses and Aaron and their crew are posted up east of the tabernacle, keeping it tight for Israel; anyone else rolling up gets dealt with.

39The Levites counted by Moses and Aaron, all the guys from a month old and up, were twenty-two thousand, no cap.

40The Lord told Moses to count all the firstborn boys of Israel from a month old and up, and get their names on lock.

41Yo, grab the Levites for me (I’m the Lord) instead of all the firstborns from Israel; their cattle too, no cap.

42Moses counted all the firstborns from Israel like the Lord told him to, fr.

43All the firstborn dudes, from a month old and up, totaled twenty-two thousand two hundred and thirteen. That’s lit!

44Then the Lord hit up Moses, saying,

45"Take the Levites instead of the firstborns from Israel, and their cattle instead of the other cattle; the Levites are mine: I’m the Lord."

46For those extra ones among the firstborns, which are more than the Levites;

47You gotta take five shekels each, going by the sanctuary shekel: (it’s twenty gerahs).

48And you gotta give the cash for the extra ones to Aaron and his boys.

49Moses took the redemption cash for the ones over the Levites, no cap.

50For the firstborns of Israel, he snagged a thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, going by the sanctuary shekel.

51Moses dropped the cash for the peeps who got saved to Aaron and his squad, just like God told him to. Periodt.

1These also are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the Lord spake with Moses in mount Sinai.

2And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

3These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.

4And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the sight of Aaron their father.

5And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

6Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.

7And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.

8And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

9And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.

10And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

11And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

12And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;

13Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the Lord.

14And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

15Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.

16And Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.

17And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

18And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.

19And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

20And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.

21Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

22Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.

23The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.

24And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.

25And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

26And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.

27And of Kohath was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.

28In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.

29The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.

30And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.

31And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.

32And Eleazar 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.

33Of Merari was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.

34And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.

35And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.

36And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth thereto,

37And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.

38But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

39All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two thousand.

40And the Lord said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.

41And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I am the Lord) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.

42And Moses numbered, as the Lord commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.

43And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.

44And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

45Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I am the Lord.

46And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;

47Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs:)

48And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.

49And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:

50Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

51And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
