Numbers 18:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 Behold, I Myself (A)have taken your [a]fellow Levites from among the sons of Israel; they are (B)a gift to you, [b]dedicated to the Lord, to perform the service for the tent of meeting. 7 But you and your sons with you shall (C)attend to your priesthood for everything that concerns the altar and inside the veil, and you are to perform service. I am giving you the priesthood as (D)a [c]service that is a gift, and (E)the [d]unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death.”
The Priests’ Portion
8 Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Now behold, I Myself have put you in charge of My [e](F)offerings, all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel I have given to you as a portion and to your sons as a permanent allotment.
