4 ^aNadab and Abihu had died before the Lord when they offered profane fire before the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai; and they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the presence of Aaron their father.

The Levites Serve in the Tabernacle

5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

6 ^a“Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may serve him.

7 And they shall attend to his needs and the needs of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of meeting, to do ^athe work of the tabernacle.

8 Also they shall attend to all the furnishings of the tabernacle of meeting, and to the needs of the children of Israel, to do the work of the tabernacle.

9 And ^ayou shall give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they are given entirely to¹ him from among the children of Israel.

10 So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, ^aand they shall attend to their priesthood; ^bbut the outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”
