Numbers 18:1-7
Duties of Levites
1 So the Lord said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your father’s household with you shall abear the guilt ▼▼Lit of the sanctuary
in connection with the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear the guilt ▼▼Lit of your priesthood
in connection with your priesthood. 2But also bring your brothers with you, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, so that they may djoin you and serve you, while you and your sons with you are before the tent of the testimony. 3And they shall perform duties for you and the duties of the whole tent, but ethey shall not come near the furnishings of the sanctuary and fthe altar, or both they and you will die. 4They shall join you and perform the duties of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; but ▼▼Lit a stranger
an unauthorized person shall not come near you. 5So you shall perform the hduties of the sanctuary and the duties of the altar, iso that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel. 6Behold, I Myself jhave taken your ▼▼Lit brothers the
fellow Levites from among the sons of Israel; they are la gift to you, ▼▼Lit given
dedicated to the Lord, to perform the service for the tent of meeting. 7But you and your sons with you shall nattend to your priesthood for everything that concerns the altar and inside the veil, and you are to perform service. I am giving you the priesthood as oa ▼▼Lit service of a gift
service that is a gift, and qthe ▼▼Lit stranger
unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death.”
