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.

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.”
