Numbers 3:8 CPDV

⁶  'Bring forward the tribe of Levi, and cause them to stand in the sight of Aaron the priest, in order to minister to him. And let them keep watch outside,

⁷  and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,

⁸  and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.

⁹  And you shall give the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons; for they have been delivered to them by the sons of Israel.

¹⁰  But you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of the priesthood. The outsider who approaches to minister shall be put to death.'
