Numbers 18:5Rotherham Emphasized Bible 1902So shall ye keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar,—that there no more be wrath against the sons of Israel. See the chapter |
therefore have I given the Levites as a gift unto Aaron and unto his sons, out of the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the laborious work of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to put a propitiatory-covering over the sons of Israel,—so shall there be among the sons of Israel, no plague, by the coming nigh of the sons of Israel unto the sanctuary.
Then said Moses unto Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons—Your heads, ye may not bare and your garments, ye shall not rend so shall ye not die, neither against all the assembly, will he be wroth,—but let, your brethren the whole house of Israel, bewail the consuming fire wherewith Yahweh hath consumed.
But do, thou thyself, put the Levites in charge over the habitation of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof and over all that pertaineth thereto, they, shall bear the habitation, and all the furniture thereof, and they, shall attend thereupon; and, round about the habitation, shall they encamp.
