menu_book Verse in Context

25 When Moses saw that the people were out of control, (for Aaron had let them lose control, causing derision among their enemies),

26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on the LORD’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

27 He said to them, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’”

28 The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. About three thousand men fell of the people that day.

29 Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, for every man was against his son and against his brother, that he may give you a blessing today.”
