⁴ The Levites must join you in fulfilling their responsibilities for the care and maintenance of the Tabernacle,^[a] but no unauthorized person may assist you.

If you follow these instructions, the Lord’s anger will never again blaze against the people of Israel. ⁶ I myself have chosen your fellow Levites from among the Israelites to be your special assistants. They are a gift to you, dedicated to the Lord for service in the Tabernacle.
