Deuteronomy 10:6-11
New International Version
6 (The Israelites traveled from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah.(A) There Aaron died(B) and was buried, and Eleazar(C) his son succeeded him as priest.(D) 7 From there they traveled to Gudgodah and on to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.(E) 8 At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi(F) to carry the ark of the covenant(G) of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister(H) and to pronounce blessings(I) in his name, as they still do today.(J) 9 That is why the Levites have no share or inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance,(K) as the Lord your God told them.)
10 Now I had stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, as I did the first time, and the Lord listened to me at this time also. It was not his will to destroy you.(L) 11 “Go,” the Lord said to me, “and lead the people on their way, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.”

Aaron Dies and the Descendants of Levi are Appointed
6 “The Israelis traveled from the wells of the descendants of Jaakan to Moserah. Aaron died and was buried there. His son Eleazar succeeded him as priest. 7 From there they moved on to Gudgodah and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with flowing streams. 8 At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, to stand in the Lord’s presence, to serve, and to bless his name until this day. 9 That is why the descendants of Levi do not have a portion and an inheritance among their relatives. As for[a] the Lord, he is their inheritance, just as the Lord your God told them. 10 When I stood on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights as I did the first time, the Lord listened to me once again. The Lord was not willing to destroy you. 11 So the Lord told me, ‘Get up and proceed to lead[b] the people, so they may enter and take possession of the land that I promised to give their ancestors by an oath.’”
