Go out of the sanctuary, for you have acted unfaithfully, and it will bring you no honor from the Lord God.”^(A)

⁷ Aaron shall offer fragrant incense on it; every morning when he dresses the lamps he shall offer it,^{(A) 8} and when Aaron sets up the lamps in the evening, he shall offer it, a regular incense offering before the Lord throughout your generations.

⁷ But you and your sons with you shall diligently perform your priestly duties in all that concerns the altar and the area behind the curtain. I give your priesthood as a gift;^[a] any outsider who approaches shall be put to death.”^(A)

⁴ And one does not presume to take this honor but takes it only when called by God, just as Aaron was.^(A)
