"Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel instead of every firstborn who opens the womb among the people of Israel. The Levites shall be mine,for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated for my own all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and of beast. They shall be mine: I am the Lord."And the Lord spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,"List the sons of Levi, by fathers' houses and by clans; every male from a month old and upward you shall list."So Moses listed them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.

These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests, whom he ordained to serve as priests.But Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord when they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests in the lifetime of Aaron their father.

highlighted Numbers 1:47-54 ESV

But the Levites were not listed along with them by their ancestral tribe.For the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,"Only the tribe of Levi you shall not list, and you shall not take a census of them among the people of Israel.But appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the testimony, and over all its furnishings, and over all that belongs to it. They are to carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings, and they shall take care of it and shall camp around the tabernacle.When the tabernacle is to set out, the Levites shall take it down, and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up. And if any outsider comes near, he shall be put to death.The people of Israel shall pitch their tents by their companies, each man in his own camp and each man by his own standard.But the Levites shall camp around the tabernacle of the testimony, so that there may be no wrath on the congregation of the people of Israel. And the Levites shall keep guard over the tabernacle of the testimony."Thus did the people of Israel; they did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses.
