1 These are the offspring of Aaron and Moses at the time the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai.
2 These are the names of Aaron’s sons: Nadab, the firstborn, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3 These are the names of Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests whom he ordained to serve as priests.
4 But Nadab and Abihu died in the presence of the Lord when they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai; and they left no sons. So only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.
5 Now the Lord said to Moses:
6 Summon the tribe of Levi and station them before Aaron the priest to serve him.
7 They shall discharge his obligations and those of the whole community before the tent of meeting by maintaining the tabernacle.
