Numbers 18:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ You must take care of God's Holy Place and the altar. Then I will not be angry with the Israelites again. ⁶ I have chosen your family, the Levites, from among the other Israelite tribes. They are the Lord's gift to you, to help you take care of the Tent of Meeting. ⁷ But only you, Aaron, and your sons will serve me as priests. You will work at the altar and in the Holy Place behind the curtain. I have chosen you to serve me as my priests. That is my gift to you. Any other person who comes near the Holy Place must die.’
