The Levites shall be mine. 13 For all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated for myself all the firstborn in Israel, both of humans and of animals. They shall be mine. I am the LORD. 14 The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying: 15 Take a census of the sons of Levi, by their fathers' houses and by their clans. Count every male a month old and upward. 16 So Moses listed them according to the command of the LORD, as he had been instructed. 17 These were the names of the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 18 The names of the sons of Gershon by their clans were Libni and Shimei. 19 The sons of Kohath by their clans were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 20 The sons of Merari by their clans were Mahli and Mushi. These are the clans of Levi, according to their fathers' houses. 21 To Gershon belonged the clan of the Libnites and the clan of the Shimeites. These are the clans of the Gershonites. 22 Their census, counting every male a month old and upward, numbered 7,500. 23 The clans of the Gershonites were to camp behind the tabernacle on the west side. 24 The leader of the fathers' house of the Gershonites was Eliasaph the son of Lael. 25 The duties of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting included the tabernacle, the tent, its covering, the curtain at the entrance of the tent of meeting, 26 the hangings of the courtyard, the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and the altar, its ropes, and all the service connected with them. 27 To Kohath belonged the clan of the Amramites, the clan of the Izharites, the clan of the Hebronites, and the clan of the Uzzielites. These are the clans of the Kohathites. 28 Their census, counting every male a month old and upward, numbered 8,600, responsible for the duties of the sanctuary. 29 The clans of the Kohathites were to camp on the south side of the tabernacle. 30 The leader of the fathers' house of the clans of the Kohathites was Elizaphan the son of Uzziel. 31 Their duty included the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the vessels of the sanctuary used in ministering, the screen, and all the work related to these. 32 The chief of the leaders of the Levites was Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, who had oversight of those keeping charge of the sanctuary. 33 To Merari belonged the clan of the Mahlites and the clan of the Mushites. These are the clans of Merari. 34 Their census, counting every male a month old and upward, numbered 6,200. 35 The leader of the fathers' house of the clans of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail. They were to camp on the north side of the tabernacle. 36 The appointed duty of the sons of Merari included the frames of the tabernacle, its bars, pillars, bases, all its fittings, and all the work associated with these. 37 This also included the pillars of the courtyard all around, their bases, pegs, cords, and all related work. 38 Those to camp in front of the tabernacle, on the east side before the tent of meeting, were Moses, Aaron, and his sons, keeping charge of the sanctuary for the duties of the people of Israel. Any outsider who approached was to be put to death. 39 The total number of Levites whom Moses and Aaron counted as commanded by the LORD, by their clans, every male a month old and upward, was 22,000. 40 The LORD said to Moses, "Take a census of all the firstborn males of the people of Israel, a month old and upward, and count their names." 41 "And you shall take the Levites for me—I am the LORD—in place of all the firstborn among the people of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of all the firstborn of the livestock of the people of Israel." 42 So Moses counted all the firstborn among the people of Israel as the LORD commanded him. 43 The total number of firstborn males, counted by name from a month old and upward, was 22,273.
