Numbers 18:5-7

Names of God Bible

⁵ “You must be in charge of the work done at the holy place and at the altar. Then I won’t show my anger against the Israelites again. ⁶ I have chosen the other Levites from among the Israelites to help you. They are a gift given to Yahweh to do whatever work is necessary at the tent of meeting. ⁷ Only you and your sons may do the work of priests—everything done at the altar and under the canopy. This is my gift to you: You may serve me as priests. Anyone else who comes near the holy place to do this work must die.”
