Numbers 3:5-10
Lexham English Bible
5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “Bring near the tribe of Levi, and set the tribe[a] before Aaron[b] the priest, and they will minister to him. 7 They shall observe his duties and the duties of the entire community before the tent of assembly, to do the work of the tabernacle. 8 And they will keep all the vessels of the tent of assembly and the responsibilities of the Israelites,[c] to do the work[d] of the tabernacle. 9 You will give the Levites to Aaron and to his descendants; they are surely assigned to him from among the Israelites.[e] 10 But you will count Aaron and his descendants; they will keep their priesthood, and the stranger[f] who approaches will be put to death.”
