Numbers 18:5-7
English Standard Version
5 And you shall (A)keep guard over the sanctuary and over the altar, (B)that there may never again be wrath on the people of Israel. 6 (C)And behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the people of Israel. (D)They are a gift to you, given to the Lord, to do the service of the tent of meeting. 7 And (E)you and your sons with you shall guard your priesthood for all that concerns the altar and (F)that is within the veil; and you shall serve. I give your priesthood as a gift,[a] and (G)any outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”
