Duties of Priests and Levites

1 Then the Lord said to Aaron: a“You and your sons and your father’s house with you shall bbear the iniquity related to the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity associated with your priesthood.  
2 Also bring with you your brethren of the atribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may be bjoined with you and serve you while you and your sons are with you before the tabernacle of1 witness.  
3 They shall attend to your needs and aall the needs of the tabernacle; bbut they shall not come near the articles of the sanctuary and the altar, clest they die—they and you also.

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
