Duties of Levites

18 So the Lord said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s household with you shall ^(A)bear the guilt ^[a]in connection with the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear the guilt ^[b]in connection with your priesthood. ² But bring with you also your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may be ^(B)joined with you and serve you, while you and your sons with you are before the tent of the testimony. ³ And they shall thus attend to your obligation and the obligation of all the tent, but ^(C)they shall not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary and ^(D)the altar, or both they and you will die. ⁴ They shall be joined with you and attend to the obligations of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; but an ^[c]outsider may not come near you. ⁵ So you shall attend to the ^(E)obligations of the sanctuary and the obligations of the altar, ^(F)so that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel. ⁶ Behold, I Myself ^(G)have taken your ^[d]fellow Levites from among the sons of Israel; they are ^(H)a gift to you, ^[e]dedicated to the Lord, to perform the service for the tent of meeting. ⁷ But you and your sons with you shall ^(I)attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and inside the veil, and you are to perform service. I am giving you the priesthood as ^(J)a ^[f]bestowed service, but ^(K)the ^[g]outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”
