15 And afterward the Levites will come in to serve at the tent of meeting.+ So you must cleanse them and cause them to move to and fro as a wave offering.+

19 And I shall give the Levites as given ones to Aaron and his sons from among the sons of Israel,+ to carry on the service of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting+ and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, that no plague may occur among the sons of Israel+ because the sons of Israel approach the holy place.”

2 And bring near, also, your brothers of the tribe of Leʹvi, the clan of your father, with you, that they may be joined to you and may minister to you,+ to both you and your sons with you, before the tent of the Testimony.+

6 And I, look! I have taken YOUR brothers, the Levites, from among the sons of Israel,+ as a gift for YOU,+ as those given to Jehovah to carry on the service of the tent of meeting.+
