1 Now this is the history of the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Yahweh spoke with Moses in Mount Sinai.
Hiche hi Sinai molchunga Pakaiyin Mose ahoupi lai a ana kijihlut Aaron le Mose insung khanggui thu chu ahi.
2 These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

4 Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh when they offered strange fire before Yahweh 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.

“Ven, Levite hi Israel japi lah kon a Israel chapate apengmasa jouse thalheng a natong ding a kalhendoh ahitai. Leviteho jouse keiya ahi.
13 for 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 Yahweh.”
