And 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.

5 Eya ta Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

6 “Yɔ Levi ƒe viwo katã ƒo ƒu, eye nàtsɔ wo ana nunɔla Aron abe eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo ene.

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

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

12 “Metsɔ Levi ƒe viwo le Israelviwo dome ɖe Israel nyɔnu ɖe sia ɖe ƒe viŋutsu gbãtɔ teƒe. Levi ƒe viwo nye tɔnyewo.

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

13 Metsɔ wo ɖɔli viŋutsu tsitsitɔwo. Tso gbe si gbe mewu Egiptetɔwo ƒe viŋutsu ŋgɔgbetɔwo la, mexɔ Israel ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo, amegbetɔwo tɔwo kple lãwo tɔwo siaa na ɖokuinye! Tɔnyewoe wonye; nyee nye Yehowa!”

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

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