From there they travelled to Jotbathah, a place where there are many streams of water. ⁸ At that time, the Lord chose the tribe of Levi to carry the Lord's Covenant Box.

They still do these things today. ⁹ That is why the Levites did not receive any land for themselves, as the other tribes did. The Lord himself would give them everything that they needed, as he had promised.)
