(A)About the tribe of Levi he said:

“You, Lord, reveal your will by the Urim and Thummim[a]
Through your faithful servants, the Levites;
You put them to the test at Massah
And proved them true at the waters of Meribah.
They showed greater loyalty to you
Than to parents, brothers, or children.
They obeyed your commands
And were faithful to your covenant.
10 They will teach your people to obey your Law;
They will offer sacrifices on your altar.

    or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
    and guarded your covenant.(G)

    and your law to Israel.(I)
He offers incense before you(J)
    and whole burnt offerings on your altar.(K)
