“So I will make the Meeting Tent [286] holy. And I will make the altar [287] holy. And I will make Aaron and his sons holy so that they can serve me as priests.
The Lord said to him: “I heard your prayer. I heard the things that you asked me to do. You built this temple. And I have made it a holy place. So I will be honored there forever. I will watch over it and think of it always.
“The priests will have special times to serve me. They must be careful at those times. They must be careful not to make the holy things not holy. If they are careful, then they will not die. I, the Lord, have separated them for this special job.
