MLV(i)
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
7 And they will keep his charge and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
8 And they will keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
9 And you will give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are entirely given to him from the sons of Israel.
10 And you will appoint Aaron and his sons and they will keep their priesthood. And the stranger who comes near will be put to death.
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of all the firstborn who opens the womb among the sons of Israel. And the Levites will be mine, 13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I killed* all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I made holy to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They will be mine. I am Jehovah.
