And the LORD said unto Aaron: Thou and thy sons and thy father's house
with thee, shall bear the fault of that which is done amiss in the holy
place. And thou and thy sons with thee, shall bear the fault of that
which is done amiss in your priesthood. And thy brethren also the tribe
of Levi, the tribe of thy father take with thee, and let them be joined
unto thee and minister unto thee. And thou and thy sons with thee shall
minister before the tabernacle of witness. And let them wait upon thee
and upon all the tabernacle: only let them not come nye the holy
vessels and the altar, that both they and ye also die not. And let them
be by thee and wait on the tabernacle of witness, and on all the
service of the tabernacle, and let no stranger come nye unto you. Wait
therefore upon the holy place and upon the altar, that there fall no
more wrath upon the children of Israel: behold, I have taken your
brethren the Levites from among children of Israel, to be yours, as
gifts given unto the LORD to do the service of the tabernacle of
witness. And see that both thou and thy sons with thee take heed unto
your priests' office, in all things that pertain unto the altar and

holy unto thee. And this shall be thine: the heaveoffering of their
gifts, thorowout all the waveofferings of the children of Israel, for I
have given them unto thee and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee, to
be a duty for ever: and all that are clean in thy house, shall eat of
it, all the fat of the oil, of the wine and of the corn: their first
fruits which they give unto the LORD that have I given unto thee. The
first fruits of all that is in their lands which they bring unto the
LORD, shall be thine: and all that are clean in thine house, shall eat
of it. All dedicate things in Israel, shall be thine. All that breaketh
the matrice of all flesh that men bring unto the LORD, both of man and
beast, shall be thine. Neverthelater the firstborn of man shall be
redeemed, and the firstborn of unclean beasts shall be redeemed. And
their redemptions shall be at a month old, valued at five sicles of
