[2] And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the first-born; and Abiud, Eleazar and Ithamar.
[3] ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ααρων, οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ ἠλειμμένοι, οὓς ἐτελείωσαν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἱερατεύειν.
[3] These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests whom they consecrated to the priesthood.
[4] καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν Ναδαβ καὶ Αβιουδ ἔναντι κυρίου προσφερόντων αὐτῶν πῦρ ἀλλότριον ἔναντι κυρίου ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Σινα, καὶ παιδία οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἱεράτευσεν Ελεαζαρ καὶ Ιθαμαρ μετ’ Ααρων τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.
[4] And Nadab and Abiud died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sina; and they had no children; and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priests’ office with Aaron their father.
[5] Καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων
[5] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
[6] Λαβὲ τὴν φυλὴν Λευι καὶ στήσεις αὐτοὺς ἐναντίον Ααρων τοῦ ἱερέως, καὶ λειτουργήσουσιν αὐτῷ
[6] Take the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt set them before Aaron the priest, and they shall minister to him,
[7] καὶ φυλάξουσιν τὰς φυλακὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς φυλακὰς τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἔναντι τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐργάζεσθαι τὰ ἔργα τῆς σκηνῆς
[7] and shall keep his charges, and the charges of the children of Israel, before the tabernacle of witness, to do the works of the tabernacle.
[8] καὶ φυλάξουσιν πάντα τὰ σκεύη τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ τὰς φυλακὰς τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ κατὰ πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῆς σκηνῆς.
[8] And they shall keep all the furniture of the tabernacle of witness, and the charges of the children of Israel as to all the works of the tabernacle.
[9] καὶ δώσεις τοὺς Λευίτας Ααρων καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν· δόμα δεδομένοι οὗτοί μοί εἰσιν ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ.
[9] And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron, and to his sons the priests; they are given for a gift to me of the children of Israel.
[10] καὶ Ααρων καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καταστήσεις ἐπὶ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ φυλάξουσιν τὴν ἱερατείαν αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ κατὰ τὸν βωμὸν καὶ ἔσω τοῦ καταπετάσματος· καὶ ὁ ἀλλογενὴς ὁ ἁπτόμενος ἀποθανεῖται.
[10] And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons over the tabernacle of witness; and they shall keep their charge of priesthood, and all things belonging to the altar, and within the veil; and the stranger that touches them shall die.
[11] Καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων
[11] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
[12] Καὶ ἐγὼ ἰδοὺ εἴληφα τοὺς Λευίτας ἐκ μέσου τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἀντὶ παντὸς πρωτοτόκου διανοίγοντος μήτραν παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ· λύτρα αὐτῶν ἔσονται καὶ ἔσονται ἐμοὶ οἱ Λευῖται.
[12] Behold, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the children of Israel, instead of every male that opens the womb from among the children of Israel: they shall be their ransom, and the Levites shall be mine.
[13] ἐμοὶ γὰρ πᾶν πρωτότοκον· ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐπάταξα πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου, ἡγίασα ἐμοὶ πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν Ισραηλ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους· ἐμοὶ ἔσονται, ἐγὼ κύριος.
[13] For every first-born is mine; in the day in which I smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, I sanctified to myself every first-born in Israel: both of man and beast, they shall be mine: I am the Lord.
[14] Καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Σινα λέγων
[14] And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sina, saying,
[15] Ἐπίσκεψαι τοὺς υἱοὺς Λευι κατ’ οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν κατὰ συγγενείας αὐτῶν· πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἀπὸ μηνιαίου καὶ ἐπάνω ἐπισκέψασθε αὐτούς.
[15] Take the number of the sons of Levi, according to the houses of their families, according to their divisions; number ye them every male from a month old and upwards.
[16] καὶ ἐπεσκέψαντο αὐτοὺς Μωϋσῆς καὶ Ααρων διὰ φωνῆς κυρίου, ὃν τρόπον συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς κύριος.
[16] And Moses and Aaron numbered them by the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded them.
[17] καὶ ἦσαν οὗτοι οἱ υἱοὶ Λευι ἐξ ὀνομάτων αὐτῶν· Γεδσων, Κααθ καὶ Μεραρι.
[17] And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gedson, Caath, and Merari.
[18] καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Γεδσων κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν· Λοβενι καὶ Σεμει.

[22] The numbering of them according to the number of every male from a month old and upwards, their numbering was seven thousand and five hundred.

[24] And the ruler of the household of the family of Gedson was Elisaph the son of Dael.

[40] And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Count every first-born male of the children of Israel from a month old and upwards, and take the number by name.
[41] καὶ λήμψῃ τοὺς Λευίτας ἐμοί, ἐγὼ κύριος, ἀντὶ πάντων τῶν πρωτοτόκων τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ τὰ κτήνη τῶν Λευιτῶν ἀντὶ πάντων τῶν πρωτοτόκων ἐν τοῖς κτήνεσιν τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ.
[41] And thou shalt take the Levites for me — I am the Lord — instead of all the first-born of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the first-born among the cattle of the children of Israel.
[42] καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Μωϋσῆς, ὃν τρόπον ἐνετείλατο κύριος, πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ·
[42] And Moses counted, as the Lord commanded him, every first-born among the children of Israel.
