But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to fulfill their responsibilities, and shall do no service. Thus shall you do unto the Levites concerning their duties.
And that they should have the oversight of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the oversight of the holy place, and the oversight of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall have the oversight of the tabernacle of testimony.
And they shall be joined to you, and have the responsibilities of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come near to you.
And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of those who have the responsibilities of the sanctuary.
And from the children of Israel’s half, you shall take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the herd, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them to the Levites, which have the oversight of the tabernacle of the LORD.
