The Levites

This is the account of the family of Aaron and Moses(A) at the time the Lord spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai.(B)

The names of the sons of Aaron were Nadab the firstborn(C) and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.(D) Those were the names of Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests,(E) who were ordained to serve as priests. Nadab and Abihu, however, died before the Lord(F) when they made an offering with unauthorized fire before him in the Desert of Sinai.(G) They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar(H) served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.(I)

Аароновий рід, священики

Ось покоління Аарона й Мойсея, коли Господь розмовляв з Мойсеєм та горі Синай. Ось імена синів Аарона: Надав (первенець), Авігу, Елеазар та Ітамар. То були імена синів Аарона, помазаних і призначених служити священиками. Та Надав і Авігу померли перед лицем Господа, коли принесли хибний вогонь перед Господом у пустелі Синай. Синів же вони не мали. Тож Елеазар та Ітамар служили священиками протягом усього життя батька їхнього Аарона.

Levites to Be Priesthood

Now these are the records of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day when the Lord spoke [by special revelation] with Moses on Mount Sinai. These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom Aaron [a]consecrated and ordained to minister in the priest’s office. But Nadab and Abihu died in the presence of the Lord when they offered strange (unholy, unacceptable, inappropriate) fire before the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai; and they had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests [b]in the presence and under the supervision of Aaron their father.(A)
