Numbers 18:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 For lo, I have (A)taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel, which as a gift of yours, are given unto the Lord, to do the service of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
7 But thou, and thy sons with thee shall keep your Priest’s office for all things of the Altar, and within the veil: therefore shall ye serve: for I have made your Priest’s office [a]an office of service: therefore the stranger that cometh near shall be slain.
8 ¶ Again the Lord spake unto Aaron, Behold, I have given thee the keeping of mine [b]offerings, of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel: unto thee have I given them for the anointing’s sake, and to thy sons for a perpetual ordinance.
