22 Neither shall the children of Israel any more [a]come near the Tabernacle of the Congregation, lest they sustain sin, and die.

23 But the Levites shall do the service in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and they shall bear [b]their sin: it is a law forever in your generations, that among the children of Israel they possess none inheritance.
