5 Then I turned and ^acame down from the mountain, and ^bput the tablets in the ark which I had made; ^cand there they are, just as the Lord commanded me.”  ‡

6 (Now the children of Israel journeyed from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron ^adied, and where he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered as priest in his¹ stead.  ‡

8 At that time ^athe Lord separated the tribe of Levi ^bto bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, ^cto stand before the Lord to minister to Him and ^dto bless in His name, to this day.  ‡

9 ^aTherefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the Lord is his inheritance, just as the Lord your God promised him.)  ‡
