## Numbers 3:6-10 in Context (Verses 3–13 KJV)
 
 [3 ](/kjv/numbers/3/3) These *are* the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/numbers/3/4) 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 ](/kjv/numbers/3/5) ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 
 [6 ](/kjv/numbers/3/6) Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/numbers/3/7) And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/numbers/3/8) And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/numbers/3/9) And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they *are* wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/numbers/3/10) And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/numbers/3/11) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 
 [12 ](/kjv/numbers/3/12) And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
 
 [13 ](/kjv/numbers/3/13) Because all the firstborn *are* mine; *for* 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 shall they be: I *am* the LORD.
