Numbers 18:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 And they shall [a]keep my charge, even the charge of all the Tabernacle: but they shall not come near the instruments of the Sanctuary, nor to the altar, lest they die, both they and you.
4 And they shall be joined with thee, and keep the charge of the Tabernacle of the Congregation for all the service of the Tabernacle: and no [b]stranger shall come near unto you:
5 Therefore shall ye keep the charge of the Sanctuary, and the charge of the Altar: so there shall fall no more wrath upon the children of Israel.

New International Version
3 They are to be responsible to you(A) and are to perform all the duties of the tent,(B) but they must not go near the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar. Otherwise both they and you will die.(C) 4 They are to join you and be responsible for the care of the tent of meeting—all the work at the tent—and no one else may come near where you are.(D)
5 “You are to be responsible for the care of the sanctuary and the altar,(E) so that my wrath will not fall on the Israelites again.
