Duties of the Levites
5 And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:
6 Bring the tribe of Levi, & make them stand in the sight of Aaron the Priest to minister unto him, and let them watch,
7 and observe whatsoever pertaineth to the service of the multitude before the tabernacle of testimony,
8 and let them keep the vessel of the tabernacle, serving in the ministry thereof.
9 And thou shalt give the Levites for a gift,
10 to Aaron and to his sons, to whom they are delivered of the children of Israel. But Aaron and his sons thou shalt appoint over the service of priesthood. The stranger, that approacheth to minister, shall die.
11 And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:
12 I have taken the Levites from the children of Israel, for every first born, that openeth the matrice among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine.
13 For the first born is mine: since I struck the first born in the Land of AEgypt: I have sanctified to me whatsoever is first born in Israel from man unto beast, they are mine: I, the Lord.
