The Levites were chosen to serve in my holy place. They guarded the gates of the temple. They served in the temple. They killed the animals for the sacrifices and burnt offerings for the people. They were chosen to help the people and to serve them.
They will join you and work with you. They will be responsible for caring for the Meeting Tent. [232] All the work that must be done in the Tent will be done by them. No one else may come near the place where you are.
