Numbers 3:5-10
Legacy Standard Bible
5 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 6 “(A)Bring the tribe of Levi near and have them stand before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him. 7 And they shall keep his responsibility and the responsibility for the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to perform the (B)service of the tabernacle. 8 They shall also keep all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, along with the responsibility of the sons of Israel, to perform the service of the [a]tabernacle. 9 You shall thus (C)give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are wholly given to him from among the sons of Israel. 10 So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons that (D)they may keep their priesthood, but (E)the [b]outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”
