I will demonstrate my holiness[fn]

to those who are near me,

and I will reveal my glory[fn]

before all the people.”

And Aaron remained silent.

But Aaron replied to Moses, “See, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the LORD's sight? ”

“Aaron is to enter the most holy place in this way: with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.

“Aaron will present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.

“After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other for an uninhabitable place,[fn][fn]

“When Aaron presents the bull for his sin offering and makes atonement for himself and his household, he will slaughter the bull for his sin offering.

“Aaron will lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the Israelites' iniquities and rebellious acts ​— ​all their sins. He is to put them on the goat's head and send it away into the wilderness by the man appointed for the task.[fn]

“You and Aaron are to register those who are twenty years old or more by their military divisions ​— ​everyone who can serve in Israel's army.[fn]

So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,

These are the men Moses and Aaron registered, with the assistance of the twelve leaders of Israel; each represented his ancestral family.

So Moses registered them in obedience to the LORD as he had been commanded:

Moses, Aaron, and his sons, who performed the duties of[fn] the sanctuary as a service on behalf of the Israelites, camped in front of the tabernacle on the east, in front of the tent of meeting toward the sunrise. Any unauthorized person who came near it was to be put to death.

“Whenever the camp is about to move on, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the screening curtain, and cover the ark of the testimony with it.

“Aaron and his sons are to finish covering the holy objects and all their equipment whenever the camp is to move on. The Kohathites will come and carry them, but they are not to touch the holy objects or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the tent of meeting.

“Do this for them so that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy objects: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and transportation duty.

So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the community registered the Kohathites by their clans and their ancestral families,

These were the registered men of the Kohathite clans, everyone who could serve at the tent of meeting. Moses and Aaron registered them at the LORD's command through Moses.

These were the registered men of the Gershonite clans. At the LORD's command Moses and Aaron registered everyone who could serve at the tent of meeting.

These were the registered men of the Merarite clans; Moses and Aaron registered them at the LORD's command through Moses.

So Aaron did this; he set up its lamps to give light in front of the lampstand just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

“Aaron is to present the Levites before the LORD as a presentation offering from the Israelites, so that they may perform the LORD's work.

Moses, Aaron, and the entire Israelite community did this to the Levites. The Israelites did everything to them the LORD commanded Moses regarding the Levites.

Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he married (for he had married a Cushite woman).

As the cloud moved away from the tent, Miriam's skin suddenly became diseased, resembling snow.[fn] When Aaron turned toward her, he saw that she was diseased

Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole assembly of the Israelite community.

“Therefore, it is you and all your followers who have conspired against the LORD! As for Aaron, who is he[fn] that you should complain about him? ”

“Each of you is to take his firepan, place incense on it, and present his firepan before the LORD ​— ​250 firepans. You and Aaron are each to present your firepan also.”

Moses and Aaron went to the front of the tent of meeting,

So Aaron took his firepan as Moses had ordered, ran into the middle of the assembly, and saw that the plague had begun among the people. After he added incense, he made atonement for the people.

Aaron then returned to Moses at the entrance to the tent of meeting, since the plague had been halted.

The next day Moses entered the tent of the testimony and saw that Aaron's staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, formed buds, blossomed, and produced almonds!

So Moses did as the LORD commanded him.

Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent of meeting. They fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.

“Take the staff and assemble the community. You and your brother Aaron are to speak to the rock while they watch, and it will yield its water. You will bring out water for them from the rock and provide drink for the community and their livestock.”

Moses and Aaron summoned the assembly in front of the rock, and Moses said to them, “Listen, you rebels! Must we bring water out of this rock for you? ”

“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land I have given the Israelites, because you both rebelled against my command at the Waters of Meribah.

“Remove Aaron's garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and die there.”

After Moses removed Aaron's garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

“After you have seen it, you will also be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother was.

At the LORD's command, the priest Aaron climbed Mount Hor and died there on the first day of the fifth month in the fortieth year after the Israelites went out of the land of Egypt.

The Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan[fn] to Moserah. Aaron died and was buried there, and Eleazar his son became priest in his place.

“Then you will die on the mountain that you go up, and you will be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.

Amram's children: Aaron, Moses, and Miriam.

Aaron's sons: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

But Aaron and his sons did all the work of the most holy place. They presented the offerings on the altar of burnt offerings and on the altar of incense to make atonement for Israel according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.

Amram's sons: Aaron and Moses.

Aaron, along with his descendants, was set apart forever to consecrate the most holy things, to burn incense in the presence of the LORD, to minister to him, and to pronounce blessings in his name forever.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests;

Samuel also was among those calling on his name.

They called to the LORD and he answered them.

Aaron's son Eleazar married

one of the daughters of Putiel,

and she bore him Phinehas.

These are the heads of the Levite families by their clans.

Each one threw down his staff, and it became a serpent. But Aaron's staff swallowed their staffs.

Then the prophetess Miriam, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women came out following her with tambourines and dancing.

“Have your brother Aaron, with his sons, come to you from the Israelites to serve me as priest ​— ​Aaron, his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

“Place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece for decisions, so that they will also be over Aaron's heart whenever he comes before the LORD. Aaron will continually carry the means of decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the LORD.

“It will be on Aaron's forehead so that Aaron may bear the guilt connected with the holy offerings that the Israelites consecrate as all their holy gifts. It is always to be on his forehead, so that they may find acceptance with the LORD.

“Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron's sons to give them glory and beauty.

“Tie the sashes on Aaron and his sons and fasten headbands on them. The priesthood is to be theirs by a permanent statute. This is the way you will ordain Aaron and[fn] his sons.

“Slaughter the ram, take some of its blood, and put it on Aaron's right earlobe, on his sons' right earlobes, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Splatter the remaining blood on all sides of the altar.

“and put all of them in the hands of Aaron and his[fn] sons and present them as a presentation offering before the LORD.

“Consecrate for Aaron and his sons the breast of the presentation offering that is presented and the thigh of the contribution that is lifted up from the ram of ordination.

“the specially woven[fn] garments, both the holy garments for the priest Aaron and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,

“and the specially woven[fn] garments for ministering in the sanctuary ​— ​the holy garments for the priest Aaron and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”

This is the inventory for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, that was recorded at Moses's command. It was the work of the Levites under the direction of[fn] Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

“He is to slaughter the bull before the LORD; Aaron's sons the priests are to present the blood and splatter it on all sides of the altar that is at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

“The sons of Aaron the priest will prepare a fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

“He will slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron's sons the priests will splatter its blood against the altar on all sides.

“and bring it to Aaron's sons the priests. The priest will take a handful of fine flour and oil from it, along with all its frankincense, and will burn this memorial portion of it on the altar, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

“He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the tent of meeting. Then Aaron's sons the priests will splatter the blood on all sides of the altar.

“Aaron's sons will burn it on the altar along with the burnt offering that is on the burning wood, a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

“He must lay his hand on the head of his offering, then slaughter it before the tent of meeting. Aaron's sons will splatter its blood on all sides of the altar.

“He must lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the tent of meeting. Aaron's sons will splatter[fn] its blood on all sides of the altar.

“Now this is the law of the grain offering: Aaron's sons will present it before the LORD in front of the altar.

“This is the offering that Aaron and his sons are to present to the LORD on the day that he is anointed: two quarts[fn] of fine flour as a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

“But any grain offering, whether dry or mixed with oil, belongs equally to all of Aaron's sons.

“The son of Aaron who presents the blood of the fellowship offering and the fat will have the right thigh as a portion.

This is the portion from the food offerings to the LORD for Aaron and his sons since the day they were presented to serve the LORD as priests.

He poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed and consecrated him.

Moses slaughtered it,[fn] took some of its blood, and put it on Aaron's right earlobe, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

He put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and presented them before the LORD as a presentation offering.

Aaron's sons brought the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood and applied it to the horns of the altar. He poured out the blood at the base of the altar.

Then he slaughtered the burnt offering. Aaron's sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it on all sides of the altar.

Finally, he slaughtered the ox and the ram as the people's fellowship sacrifice. Aaron's sons brought him the blood, and he splattered it on all sides of the altar.

Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu each took his own firepan, put fire in it, placed incense on it, and presented unauthorized fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them to do.

Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron's uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here and carry your relatives away from the front of the sanctuary to a place outside the camp.”

Moses spoke to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar: “Take the grain offering that is left over from the food offerings to the LORD, and eat it prepared without yeast beside the altar, because it is especially holy.

Then Moses inquired carefully about the male goat of the sin offering, but it had already been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's surviving sons, and asked,

The LORD spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron's sons when they approached the presence of[fn] the LORD and died.

The LORD said to Moses, “Speak to Aaron's sons, the priests, and tell them: A priest is not to make himself ceremonially unclean for a dead person among his relatives,

“No descendant of the priest Aaron who has a defect is to come near to present the food offerings to the LORD. He has a defect and is not to come near to present the food of his God.

“No man of Aaron's descendants who has a skin disease[fn] or a discharge is to eat from the holy offerings until he is clean. Whoever touches anything made unclean by a dead person or by a man who has an emission of semen,

These are the family records of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.

“Bring the tribe of Levi near and present them to the priest Aaron to assist him.

The chief of the Levite leaders was Eleazar son of Aaron the priest; he had oversight of those responsible for the duties of the sanctuary.

“Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has oversight of the lamp oil, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, the holy objects and their utensils.”[fn]

“All the service of the Gershonites, all their transportation duties and all their other work, is to be done at the command of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry.

“This is the service of the Merarite clans regarding all their work at the tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”

and gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen corresponding to their service, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

“You are to have the Levites stand before Aaron and his sons, and you are to present them before the LORD as a presentation offering.

After that, the Levites came to do their work at the tent of meeting in the presence of Aaron and his sons. So they did to them as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites.

But there were some men who were unclean because of a human corpse, so they could not observe the Passover on that day. These men came before Moses and Aaron the same day

“The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. Your use of these is a permanent statute throughout your generations.

“Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the firepans from the burning debris, because they are holy, and scatter the fire far away.

So the priest Eleazar took the bronze firepans that those who were burned had presented, and they were hammered into plating for the altar,

“Write Aaron's name on Levi's staff, because there is to be one staff for the head of each tribe.

So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff, one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. Aaron's staff was among them.

The next day Moses entered the tent of the testimony and saw that Aaron's staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, formed buds, blossomed, and produced almonds!

The LORD told Moses, “Put Aaron's staff back in front of the testimony to be kept as a sign for the rebels, so that you may put an end to their complaints before me, or else they will die.”

When Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw this, he got up from the assembly, took a spear in his hand,

“Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, has turned back my wrath from the Israelites because he was zealous among them with my zeal,[fn] so that I did not destroy the Israelites in my zeal.

But among them there was not one of those who had been registered by Moses and the priest Aaron when they registered the Israelites in the Wilderness of Sinai.

Moses sent one thousand from each tribe to war. They went with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, in whose care were the holy objects and signal trumpets.

These were the stages of the Israelites' journey when they went out of the land of Egypt by their military divisions under the leadership of Moses and Aaron.

“The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. But I prayed for Aaron at that time also.

The lot came out for the Kohathite clans: The Levites who were the descendants of the priest Aaron received thirteen cities by lot from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

to the descendants of Aaron from the Kohathite clans of the Levites, because they received the first lot.

They gave to the descendants of the priest Aaron:

Hebron, the city of refuge for the one who commits manslaughter, with its pasturelands, Libnah with its pasturelands,

All thirteen cities with their pasturelands were for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

The Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead.

And Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they buried him at Gibeah,[fn] which had been given to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim.

and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, was serving before it. The Israelites asked, “Should we again fight against our brothers the Benjaminites or should we stop? ”

The LORD answered, “Fight, because I will hand them over to you tomorrow.”

Amram's children: Aaron, Moses, and Miriam.

Aaron's sons: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

These are Aaron's sons: his son Eleazar,

his son Phinehas, his son Abishua,

These were the places assigned to Aaron's descendants from the Kohathite family for their settlements in their territory, because the first lot was for them.

Aaron's descendants were given:

Hebron (a city of refuge), Libnah and its pasturelands, Jattir, Eshtemoa and its pasturelands,

Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:

“but their duty will be to assist the descendants of Aaron with the service of the LORD's temple, being responsible for the courts and the chambers, the purification of all the holy things, and the work of the service of God's temple ​— ​

“They are to carry out their responsibilities for the tent of meeting, for the holy place, and for their relatives, the descendants of Aaron, in the service of the LORD's temple.”

The divisions of the descendants of Aaron were as follows: Aaron's sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

These had their assigned duties for service when they entered the LORD's temple, according to their regulations, which they received from their ancestor Aaron, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

They also cast lots the same way as their relatives the descendants of Aaron did in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the families of the priests and Levites ​— ​the family heads and their younger brothers alike.

“Didn't you banish the priests of the LORD, the descendants of Aaron and the Levites, and make your own priests like the peoples of other lands do? Whoever comes to ordain himself with a young bull and seven rams may become a priest of what are not gods.

They took their stand against King Uzziah and said, “Uzziah, you have no right to offer incense to the LORD ​— ​only the consecrated priests, the descendants of Aaron, have the right to offer incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully! You will not receive honor from the LORD God.”

They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. Then he told the descendants of Aaron, the priests, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

and to the descendants of Aaron, the priests, in the common fields of their cities, in each and every city. There were men who were registered by name to distribute a portion to every male among the priests and to every Levite recorded by genealogy.

Afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, since the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were busy offering up burnt offerings and fat until night. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

Abishua's son, Phinehas's son,

Eleazar's son, the chief priest Aaron's son

A priest from Aaron's descendants is to accompany the Levites when they collect the tenth, and the Levites are to take a tenth of this offering to the storerooms of the treasury in the house of our God.

So in the days of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, all Israel contributed the daily portions for the singers and gatekeepers. They also set aside daily portions for the Levites, and the Levites set aside daily portions for Aaron's descendants.

You led your people like a flock

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

House of Aaron, trust in the LORD!

He is their help and shield.

The LORD remembers us and will bless us.

He will bless the house of Israel;

he will bless the house of Aaron;

Let the house of Aaron say,

“His faithful love endures forever.”

House of Israel, bless the LORD!

House of Aaron, bless the LORD!

Now the LORD had said to Aaron, “Go and meet Moses in the wilderness.” So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him.

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them commands concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

Amram married his father's sister Jochebed,

and she bore him Aaron and Moses.

Amram lived 137 years.

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Appeal to the LORD to remove the frogs from me and my people. Then I will let the people go and they can sacrifice to the LORD.”

Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go sacrifice to your God within the country.”

Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of furnace soot, and Moses is to throw it toward heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.

Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron. “I have sinned this time,” he said to them. “The LORD is the righteous one, and I and my people are the guilty ones.

So Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh. “Go, worship the LORD your God,” Pharaoh said. “But exactly who will be going? ”

Pharaoh urgently sent for Moses and Aaron and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.

Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, “Go, worship the LORD. Even your families may go with you; only your flocks and herds must stay behind.”

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,

He summoned Moses and Aaron during the night and said, “Get out immediately from among my people, both you and the Israelites, and go, worship the LORD as you have said.

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner may eat it.

The entire Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.

Then Moses told Aaron, “Say to the entire Israelite community, ‘Come before the LORD, for he has heard your complaints.' ”

Moses told Aaron, “Take a container and put two quarts[fn] of manna in it. Then place it before the LORD to be preserved throughout your generations.”

“Have your brother Aaron, with his sons, come to you from the Israelites to serve me as priest ​— ​Aaron, his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

“Put these on your brother Aaron and his sons; then anoint, ordain,[fn] and consecrate them, so that they may serve me as priests.

“Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

“Take some of the blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. So he and his garments will be holy, as well as his sons and their garments.

“I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar; I will also consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.

“Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve me as priests.

So all the people took off the gold rings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.

“Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

“Take Aaron, his sons with him, the garments, the anointing oil, the bull of the sin[fn] offering, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

Then Moses presented Aaron and his sons and washed them with water.

Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments, as well as on his sons and their garments. In this way he consecrated Aaron and his garments, as well as his sons and their garments.

On the eighth day Moses summoned Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel.

Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD has spoken:

I will demonstrate my holiness[fn]

to those who are near me,

and I will reveal my glory[fn]

before all the people.”

And Aaron remained silent.

Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not let your hair hang loose and do not tear your clothes, or else you will die, and the LORD will become angry with the whole community. However, your brothers, the whole house of Israel, may weep over the fire that the LORD caused.

Moses spoke to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar: “Take the grain offering that is left over from the food offerings to the LORD, and eat it prepared without yeast beside the altar, because it is especially holy.

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

The LORD said to Moses, “Tell your brother Aaron that he may not come whenever he wants into the holy place behind the curtain in front of the mercy seat on the ark or else he will die, because I appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.

“Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them: This is what the LORD has commanded:

Moses said this to Aaron and his sons and to all the Israelites.

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

But Nadab and Abihu died in the LORD's presence when they presented unauthorized fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests under the direction of Aaron their father.

“You are to appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out their priestly responsibilities, but any unauthorized person who comes near the sanctuary is to be put to death.”

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three come out to the tent of meeting.” So the three of them went out.

The men went back to Moses, Aaron, and the entire Israelite community in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back a report for them and the whole community, and they showed them the fruit of the land.

All the Israelites complained about Moses and Aaron, and the whole community told them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron:

Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses, Aaron, and the entire community.

They came together against Moses and Aaron and told them, “You have gone too far! Everyone in the entire community is holy, and the LORD is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the LORD's assembly? ”

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron,

The next day the entire Israelite community complained about Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD's people! ”

and the LORD said to Moses,

Then Moses told Aaron, “Take your firepan, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the community and make atonement for them, because wrath has come from the LORD; the plague has begun.”

The LORD said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your ancestral family[fn] will be responsible for iniquity against the sanctuary. You and your sons will be responsible for iniquity involving your priesthood.

Then the LORD spoke to Aaron, “Look, I have put you in charge of the contributions brought to me. As for all the holy offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.

The LORD told Aaron, “You will not have an inheritance in their land; there will be no portion among them for you. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites.

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron,

There was no water for the community, so they assembled against Moses and Aaron.

But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust me to demonstrate my holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land I have given them.”

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor on the border of the land of Edom,

“Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.

After Moses removed Aaron's garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

The sons of Eliab were Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram.

(It was Dathan and Abiram, chosen by the community, who fought against Moses and Aaron; they and Korah's followers fought against the LORD.

The name of Amram's wife was Jochebed, a descendant of Levi, born to Levi in Egypt. She bore to Amram: Aaron, Moses, and their sister Miriam.

Then Samuel said to the people, “The LORD, who appointed Moses and Aaron and who brought your ancestors up from the land of Egypt, is a witness.[fn]

“When Jacob went to Egypt,[fn] your ancestors cried out to the LORD, and he sent them Moses and Aaron, who led your ancestors out of Egypt and settled them in this place.

He sent Moses his servant,

and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

In the camp they were envious of Moses

and of Aaron, the LORD's holy one.

It is like fine oil on the head,

running down on the beard,

running down Aaron's beard

onto his robes.

Indeed, I brought you up from the land of Egypt

and redeemed you from that place of slavery.

I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam ahead of you.

Moses told Aaron everything the LORD had sent him to say, and about all the signs he had commanded him to do.

When they left Pharaoh, they confronted Moses and Aaron, who stood waiting to meet them.

“When Pharaoh tells you, ‘Perform a miracle,' tell Aaron, ‘Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh. It will become a serpent.' ”

So the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron: Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt ​— ​over their rivers, canals, ponds, and all their water reservoirs ​— ​and they will become blood. There will be blood throughout the land of Egypt, even in wooden and stone containers.”

The LORD then said to Moses, “Tell Aaron: Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, canals, and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto the land of Egypt.”

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron: Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the land, and it will become gnats[fn] throughout the land of Egypt.”

Then the Israelites went and did this; they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

Then all the Israelites did this; they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

“Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, for glory and beauty.

“This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites, for it is a contribution. It will be the Israelites' contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, their contribution to the LORD.

“This is what you are to do for Aaron and his sons based on all I have commanded you. Take seven days to ordain them.

When the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said to him, “Come, make gods[fn] for us who will go before us because this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt ​— ​we don't know what has happened to him! ”

Then Moses asked Aaron, “What did these people do to you that you have led them into such a grave sin? ”

They made specially woven[fn] garments for ministry in the sanctuary, and the holy garments for Aaron from the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

They made the tunics of fine woven linen for Aaron and his sons.

So all the work for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was finished. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

and the specially woven[fn] garments for ministering in the sanctuary, the holy garments for the priest Aaron and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.

“But the rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons; it is the holiest part of the food offerings to the LORD.

“But the rest of the grain offering will belong to Aaron and his sons; it is the holiest part of the food offerings to the LORD.

“Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the burnt offering; the burnt offering itself must remain on the altar's hearth all night until morning, while the fire of the altar is kept burning on it.

“Tell Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the sin offering. The sin offering is most holy and must be slaughtered before the LORD at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.

“The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.

“I have taken from the Israelites the breast of the presentation offering and the thigh of the contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, and have assigned them to the priest Aaron and to his sons as a permanent portion[fn] from the Israelites.”

Then Moses said to Aaron, “Approach the altar and sacrifice your sin offering and your burnt offering; make atonement for yourself and the people.[fn] Sacrifice the people's offering and make atonement for them, as the LORD commanded.”

The LORD spoke to Aaron:

“Tell Aaron: None of your descendants throughout your generations who has a physical defect is to come near to present the food of his God.

“Tell Aaron and his sons to deal respectfully with the holy offerings of the Israelites that they have consecrated to me, so they do not profane my holy name; I am the LORD.

“Speak to Aaron, his sons, and all the Israelites and tell them: Any man of the house of Israel or of the resident aliens in Israel who presents his offering ​— ​whether they present payment of vows or freewill gifts to the LORD as burnt offerings ​— ​

The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

“Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been assigned exclusively to him[fn] from the Israelites.

“Give the silver to Aaron and his sons as the redemption price for those who are in excess among the Israelites.”

He gave the redemption silver to Aaron and his sons in obedience to the LORD, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

“Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. You should say to them,

“Speak to Aaron and tell him: When you set up the lamps, the seven lamps are to give light in front of the lampstand.”

“From the Israelites, I have given the Levites exclusively to Aaron and his sons to perform the work for the Israelites at the tent of meeting and to make atonement on their behalf, so that no plague will come against the Israelites when they approach the sanctuary.”

“You are to present an offering to the LORD from every tenth you receive from the Israelites. Give some of it to the priest Aaron as an offering to the LORD.

Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar were born to Aaron,

“The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. But I prayed for Aaron at that time also.

in addition to Jehoiada, leader of the house of Aaron, with 3,700 men;

for the Levites, Hashabiah son of Kemuel; for Aaron, Zadok;

The king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why are you causing the people to neglect their work? Get to your labor! ”

“Aaron is to tend it continually from evening until morning before the LORD outside the curtain of the testimony in the tent of meeting. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations.

“It belongs to Aaron and his sons, who are to eat it in a holy place, for it is the holiest portion for him from the food offerings to the LORD; this is a permanent rule.”

So Moses told Korah, “You and all your followers are to appear before the LORD tomorrow ​— ​you, they, and Aaron.
