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

And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
12 “Ndakatora vaRevhi kubva pakati pavaIsraeri pachinzvimbo chedangwe romukomana rinoberekwa nomukadzi wose weIsraeri. VaRevhi ndevangu,
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; and the Levites shall be mine:
13 nokuti matangwe ose ndeangu. Pandakauraya matangwe muIjipiti, ndakazvitsaurira dangwe rimwe nerimwe muIsraeri, angava munhu kana mhuka. Zvinofanira kuva zvangu. Ndini Jehovha.”
for all the firstborn are mine; 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 they shall be; I am the LORD.
