Numbers 3:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ They must take care of everything connected with the tent of meeting. When they do, they are acting for all the Israelites. ⁹ Give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They are the men of Israel who must be given completely to him. ¹⁰ Appoint Aaron and his sons to serve as priests. Anyone else who approaches the sacred tent must be put to death.”
