Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that the LORD spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
1ΚΑΙ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις Ἀαρὼν καὶ Μωυσῆ, ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐλάλησε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ ἐν ὄρει Σινά.
2These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2καὶ ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἀαρών· πρωτότοκος Ναδάβ, καὶ Ἀβιούδ, Ἐλεάζαρ, καὶ Ἰθάμαρ.
3These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s office.
3ταῦτα τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἀαρών, οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ ἠλειμμένοι, οὓς ἐτελείωσαν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἱερατεύειν.
4Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the presence of Aaron their father.
4καὶ ἐτελεύτησε Ναδὰβ καὶ Ἀβιοὺδ ἔναντι Κυρίου, προσφερόντων αὐτῶν πῦρ ἀλλότριον ἔναντι Κυρίου ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Σινά, καὶ παιδία οὐκ ἦν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἱεράτευσεν Ἐλεάζαρ καὶ Ἰθάμαρ μετὰ Ἀαρὼν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν.
5The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
5καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
6“Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
6λάβε τὴν φυλὴν Λευὶ καὶ στήσεις αὐτοὺς ἐναντίον Ἀαρὼν τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ λειτουργήσουσιν αὐτῷ,
7They shall keep his requirements, and the requirements of the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
7καὶ φυλάξουσι τὰς φυλακὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς φυλακὰς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἔναντι τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, ἐργάζεσθαι τὰ ἔργα τῆς σκηνῆς.
8They shall keep all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting, and the obligations of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
8καὶ φυλάξουσι πάντα τὰ σκεύη τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ τὰς φυλακὰς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ πάντα τὰ ἔργα τῆς σκηνῆς.
9You shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the children of Israel.
9καὶ δώσεις τοὺς Λευίτας Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ τοῖς ἱερεῦσι· δεδομένοι δόμα οὗτοί μοί εἰσιν ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
10You shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood, but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.”
10καὶ Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καταστήσεις ἐπὶ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ φυλάξουσι τὴν ἱερατείαν αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ κατὰ τὸν βωμὸν καὶ ἔσω τοῦ καταπετάσματος· καὶ ὁ ἀλλογενὴς ὁ ἁπτόμενος ἀποθανεῖται.
11The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
11καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
12“Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn who open the womb among the children of Israel; and the Levites shall be mine,
12καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ εἴληφα τοὺς Λευίτας ἐκ μέσου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἀντὶ παντὸς πρωτοτόκου διανοίγοντος μήτραν παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· λύτρα αὐτῶν ἔσονται καὶ ἔσονται ἐμοὶ οἱ Λευῖται·
13for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and animal. They shall be mine. I am the LORD.”
13ἐμοὶ γὰρ πᾶν πρωτότοκον· ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐπάταξα πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτου, ἡγίασα ἐμοὶ πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους· ἐμοὶ ἔσονται, ἐγὼ Κύριος.
14The LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
14καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Σινὰ λέγων·
15“Count the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families. You shall count every male from a month old and upward.”
15ἐπίσκεψαι τοὺς υἱοὺς Λευὶ κατ' οἴκους πατριῶν αὐτῶν, κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν, κατὰ συγγενείας αὐτῶν· πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἀπὸ μηνιαίου καὶ ἐπάνω ἐπισκέψασθε αὐτούς.
16Moses counted them according to the LORD’s word, as he was commanded.

41You shall take the Levites for me—I am the LORD—instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the livestock of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the livestock of the children of Israel.”
41καὶ λήψῃ τοὺς Λευίτας ἐμοί, ἐγὼ Κύριος, ἀντὶ πάντων τῶν πρωτοτόκων τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τὰ κτήνη τῶν Λευιτῶν ἀντὶ πάντων τῶν πρωτοτόκων ἐν τοῖς κτήνεσι τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
