9 Is it ^aa small thing to you that the God of Israel has ^bseparated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the work of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to serve them;  ‡

10 and that He has brought you near to Himself, you and all your brethren, the sons of Levi, with you? And are you seeking the priesthood also?

13 Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of ^aa land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you should ^bkeep acting like a prince over us?  ‡

14 Moreover ^ayou have not brought us into ^ba land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!”  ‡
