The Levites Are Appointed to Serve the Priests
5 The Lordsaid to Moses, 6 "Bring forward the tribe of Leviand appoint them as servants of Aaronthe priest. 7 They shall do the work required for the Tent of my presence and perform duties for the priests and for the whole community. 8 They shall take charge of all the equipment of the Tent and perform the duties for the rest of the Israelites. 9 The only responsibility the Levites have is to serve Aaronand his sons. 10 You shall appoint Aaronand his sons to carry out the duties of the priesthood; anyone else who tries to do so shall be put to death."
11 The Lordsaid to Moses, 12,13 Ex 13.2"The Levites are now to be mine. When I killed all the first-born of the Egyptians, I consecrated as my own the oldest son of each Israelite family and the first-born of every animal. Now, instead of having the first-born sons of Israelas my own, I have the Levites; they will belong to me. I am the Lord."

44 The Lordsaid to Moses, 45 "Now dedicate the Levites as mine in place of all the first-born Israelite sons, and dedicate the livestock of the Levites in place of the first-born of the Israelites' livestock. 46 Since the first-born Israelite sons outnumber the Levites by 273, you must buy back the extra sons. 47 For each one pay five pieces of silver, according to the official standard, 48 and give this money to Aaronand his sons." 49 Mosesobeyed and took 50 the 1,365 pieces of silver51 and gave them to Aaronand his sons.
