Numbers 18:5-7

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁵ And ye shall have the charge of the sanctuary and the charge of the altar, that there be no more wrath upon the sons of Israel.

⁶ For behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the sons of Israel, given unto you as a gift of the LORD, to serve in the ministry of the tabernacle of the testimony.

⁷ Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priesthood for every thing of the altar and within the veil, and ye shall minister; for I have given the service of your priesthood as a gift, and the stranger that comes near shall die.
