Numbers 3:6Easy To Read Version“Bring all the men from Levi’s family group. Bring them to Aaron the priest. Those men will be Aaron’s helpers. See the chapter |
The Levites {\cf2\super [253]} had the job of helping Aaron’s descendants {\cf2\super [254]} in the service of the Lord’s temple. {\cf2\super [255]} The Levites also cared for the temple yard and the side rooms in the temple. They had the job of making all holy things pure. It was their job to serve in God’s temple.
So the Levites did all the things they were supposed to do. They took care of the Holy Tent. {\cf2\super [258]} They took care of the Holy Place. {\cf2\super [259]} And they helped their relatives, \{the priests,\} Aaron’s descendants. The Levites helped the priests with the services at the Lord’s temple.
At that time the Lord separated the family group of Levi from the other family groups for his special work. They had the work of carrying the Lord’s Box of the Agreement. [58] They also served as priests before the Lord. And they had the work of blessing people in the Lord’s name. They still do this special work today.
