Numbers 3:5-10

Modern English Version

Duties of the Levites

⁵ The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ⁶ Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, and they will minister to him. ⁷ They will keep his directives, and serve the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle. ⁸ They will keep all the instruments of the tent of meeting, and attend to the needs of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. ⁹ You will give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him from the children of Israel. ¹⁰ You will appoint Aaron and his sons, and they will attend to their priesthood, and the foreigner that approaches will be put to death.
