2 “Tell Aaron and his sons that they should be careful how they handle* the holy things of the Israelites and not profane my holy name+ regarding the things they are sanctifying to me.+ I am Jehovah.

2 Also bring near your brothers of the tribe of Leʹvi, your ancestral tribe, so that they may join you and minister to you+ and your sons before the tent of the Testimony.+ 3 They are to fulfill their responsibilities to you and to the entire tent.+ However, they must not come near the utensils of the holy place and the altar, so that neither they nor you may die.+
