Legacy Standard Bible

²⁷ And he said to them, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Every man among you put his sword upon his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate in the camp, and kill every man his brother and every man his friend and every man his ^[a]neighbor.’” ²⁸ So ^(A)the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses, and about three thousand men of the people fell that day. ²⁹ Then Moses said, “^[b]Be ordained today to Yahweh—for every man has been against his son and against his brother—in order that He may bestow a blessing upon you today.”
