04 Num 3.5-10 Levites Serve Aaron & Sons as Priests

Numbers 3:5-10 (ESV)

^5  And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

^6  “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.

^7  They shall keep guard over him and over the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, as they minister at the tabernacle.

^8  They shall guard all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, and keep guard over the people of Israel as they minister at the tabernacle.

^9  And you shall give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they are wholly given to him from among the people of Israel.

^10  And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall guard their priesthood. But if any outsider comes near, he shall be put to death.”
