⁴ Then you will know that I am giving you this ·command [warning] so my ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with Levi will continue,” says the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts]. ⁵ “My ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with ·the Levites [^Lhim; ^CLevi] was to bring life and peace so they would ·honor [fear] me. And they did ·honor [fear] me and ·fear me [^Lstood in awe of my name; Prov. 1:7]. ⁶ ·They taught the true teachings [True law/instruction/^LTorah was in his mouth] and ·spoke no lies [no iniquity was found on his lips]. With peace and ·honesty [integrity] they ·did what I said they should do [walked with me], and they kept many people from sinning.
