Numbers 18:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ They will assist you and they will perform the duties of the meeting tent with regard to all the work of the tent. But no outsider may accompany you. ⁵ You will perform the duties of the sanctuary and the altar. Then there will no longer be any anger against the Israelites. ⁶ I have taken your brothers, the Levites, from the Israelites. They are a gift to you, dedicated to the Lord to perform the service of the meeting tent.
