Numbers 18:3-6

Bible Text

[3] They shall keep your charge, and the charge of all the Tent: only they shall not come near to the vessels of the sanctuary and to the altar, that they not die, neither they, nor you. [4] They shall be joined to you, and keep the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the Tent: and a stranger shall not come near to you. [5] You shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar; that there be wrath no more on the children of Israel. [6] I, behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are a gift, given to Yahweh, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
