3:1And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses on mount Sinai.
3:2And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

3:12And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of every firstborn that breaketh open the womb among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be mine;
3:13for every firstborn is 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 of man and beast; mine shall they be: I am Jehovah.
3:14And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
