Numbers 18:6-8
English Standard Version
6 (A)And behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the people of Israel. (B)They are a gift to you, given to the Lord, to do the service of the tent of meeting. 7 And (C)you and your sons with you shall guard your priesthood for all that concerns the altar and (D)that is within the veil; and you shall serve. I give your priesthood as a gift,[a] and (E)any outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”
8 Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, “Behold, (F)I have given you charge of the contributions made to me, all the consecrated things of the people of Israel. I have given them to you (G)as a portion and to your sons as a perpetual due.
