‏ Numbers 18:2-6

2But also bring your brothers with you, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, so that they may ajoin 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 bthey shall not come near the furnishings of the sanctuary and cthe 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 eduties of the sanctuary and the duties of the altar, fso that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel. 6Behold, I Myself ghave taken your
Lit brothers the
fellow Levites from among the sons of Israel; they are ia gift to you,
Lit given
dedicated to the Lord, to perform the service for the tent of meeting.
