Numbers 3:13-20

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.

14 And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
-
15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
-
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.
-
17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
-
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.
-
19 And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.

20 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.
