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.  ‡

4 They shall be joined with you and attend to the needs of the tabernacle of meeting, for all the work of the tabernacle; ^abut an outsider shall not come near you.  ‡

7 Therefore ^ayou and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for everything at the altar and ^bbehind the veil; and you shall serve. I give your priesthood to you as a ^cgift for service, but the outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”  ‡

8 And the Lord spoke to Aaron: “Here, ^aI Myself have also given you charge of My heave offerings, all the holy gifts of the children of Israel; I have given them ^bas a portion to you and your sons, as an ordinance forever.  ‡
