35:23 The sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, as well as Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
46:11 The sons of Levi:
Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
49:5 Simeon and Levi are brothers,
weapons of violence are their knives! 3
49:6 O my soul, do not come into their council,
do not be united to their assembly, my heart, 4
for in their anger they have killed men,
and for pleasure they have hamstrung oxen.
49:7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce,
and their fury, for it was cruel.
I will divide them in Jacob,
and scatter them in Israel! 5
2:1 6 A man from the household 7 of Levi married 8 a woman who was a descendant of Levi. 9
32:28 The Levites did what Moses ordered, 15 and that day about three thousand men of the people died. 16 32:29 Moses said, “You have been consecrated 17 today for the Lord, for each of you was against his son or against his brother, so he has given a blessing to you today.” 18
33:8 Of Levi he said:
Your Thummim and Urim 19 belong to your godly one, 20
whose authority you challenged at Massah, 21
and with whom you argued at the waters of Meribah. 22
33:9 He said to his father and mother, “I have not seen him,” 23
and he did not acknowledge his own brothers
or know his own children,
for they kept your word,
and guarded your covenant.
33:10 They will teach Jacob your ordinances
and Israel your law;
they will offer incense as a pleasant odor,
and a whole offering on your altar.
