28 And there was a choosing* of him out of all the tribes of Israel for me,+ to act as priest* and go up upon my altar+ to make sacrificial smoke billow up,* to bear an ephʹod before me, that I might give to the house of your forefather all the offerings made by fire of the sons of Israel.+

19 These were their offices+ for their service,+ to come into the house of Jehovah according to their due right+ by the hand of Aaron their forefather, just as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded him.

11 Now, my sons, do not give yourselves up to rest,+ for YOU are the ones whom Jehovah has chosen to stand before him to minister to him+ and to continue as his ministers+ and makers of sacrificial smoke.”+
