A gift of service

Gifts and service · Numbers 18

5And you shall keep charge of the sanctuary and the charge of the altar, so that there may no longer be wrath against the sons of Israel.

6And I—behold, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the sons of Israel, given to you as a gift, given to Yahweh, to perform the service of the tent of meeting.

7But you and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and for what is within the veil, and you shall serve. I give your priesthood as a gift of service, but the outsider who comes near shall be put to death.
