Numbers 18:7New Messianic Version BibleTherefore youi and youi sons with youi shall keep your priest’s office for everything of the altar, and within the veil; and you2f shall serve: I have given your priest’s office [unto you] as a service of gift: and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death. See the chapter |
[To be] a memorial unto the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], that no stranger, which [is] not of the seed of Aharon [Bright, Very High], come near to offer incense before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); that he be not as Korakh [Bald], and as his company: as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said to him by the hand of Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters].
And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] [to be] my priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod (vest) before me? and did I give unto the house of youi father all the offerings made by fire of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?
But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, [even] before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, [shall be] Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], and Aharon [Bright, Very High] and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.
And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters], Speak unto Aharon [Bright, Very High] youi brother, that he come not at all times into the holy [place] within the veil before the mercy seat, which [is] upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
And take youi unto youi Aharon [Bright, Very High] youi brother, and his sons with him, from among the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, [even] Aharon [Bright, Very High], Nadav [Generous] and Avihu [he is my father], El’azar [God has helped] and Itamar [Coast of Palms], Aharon [Bright, Very High]’s sons.
But the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] their inheritance: and Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort], and Re’uven [Behold a Son], and half the tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], have received their inheritance beyond Yarden [Descender] on the east, which Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the servant of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) gave them.
But the priests the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], the sons of Tzadok [righteous], that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER):
This [is the portion] of the anointing of Aharon [Bright, Very High], and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) made by fire, in the day [when] he presented them to minister unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in the priest’s office;
