New American Standard Bible
5 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “(A)Bring the tribe of Levi forward and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him. 7 They shall perform the duties for [a]him and for the whole congregation in front of the tent of meeting, to do the (B)service of the tabernacle. 8 They shall also take care of all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, along with the duties of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 9 So you shall (C)assign the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are exclusively assigned to him from the sons of Israel. 10 So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons that (D)they may [b]keep their priesthood, but (E)the [c]layman who comes near shall be put to death.”
