Duties of Priests and Levites
1
So [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s… house must bear the iniquity [involving] the sanctuary. And you and your sons [alone] must bear the iniquity [involving] your priesthood.
יְהוָה֙ וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֶֽל־ אַהֲרֹ֔ן אַתָּ֗ה וּבָנֶ֤יךָ אָבִ֙יךָ֙ אִתָּ֔ךְ וּבֵית־ תִּשְׂא֖וּ אֶת־ עֲוֺ֣ן הַמִּקְדָּ֑שׁ וְאַתָּה֙ וּבָנֶ֣יךָ אִתָּ֔ךְ תִּשְׂא֖וּ אֶת־ עֲוֺ֥ן כְּהֻנַּתְכֶֽם׃ Yah·weh way·yō·mer ’el- ’a·hă·rōn ’at·tāh ū·ḇā·ne·ḵā ’ā·ḇî·ḵā ’it·tāḵ ū·ḇêṯ- tiś·’ū ’eṯ- ‘ă·wōn ham·miq·dāš wə·’at·tāh ū·ḇā·ne·ḵā ’it·tāḵ tiś·’ū ’eṯ- ‘ă·wōn kə·hun·naṯ·ḵem — WLC · 1
Καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς Ἀαρὼν λέγων Σὺ καὶ ὁ υἱοί σου καὶ ὁ οἶκος πατριᾶς σου λήμψεσθε τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τῶν αγιων· σὺ κα οἱ υἱοί σου λήμψεσθε τὰς ἁμαρτίας τῆς ἱερατίας. — LXX Swete · 1

But bring with you also your brothers from the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, that they may join you and assist you and your sons… before the Tent of the Testimony.
הַקְרֵ֣ב אִתָּ֔ךְ וְגַ֣ם אֶת־ אַחֶיךָ֩ מַטֵּ֨ה לֵוִ֜י שֵׁ֤בֶט אָבִ֙יךָ֙ וְיִלָּו֥וּ עָלֶ֖יךָ וִֽישָׁרְת֑וּךָ וְאַתָּה֙ וּבָנֶ֣יךָ אִתָּ֔ךְ לִפְנֵ֖י אֹ֥הֶל הָעֵדֻֽת׃ haq·rêḇ ’it·tāḵ wə·ḡam ’eṯ- ’a·ḥe·ḵā maṭ·ṭêh lê·wî šê·ḇeṭ ’ā·ḇî·ḵā wə·yil·lā·wū ‘ā·le·ḵā wî·šā·rə·ṯū·ḵā wə·’at·tāh ū·ḇā·ne·ḵā ’it·tāḵ lip̄·nê ’ō·hel hā·‘ê·ḏuṯ — WLC · 2

And they shall attend to your duties and to all the duties… of the Tent;… but they must not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary or the altar, or both they and you will die.
וְשָֽׁמְרוּ֙ מִֽשְׁמַרְתְּךָ֔ וּמִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת כָּל־ הָאֹ֑הֶל אַךְ֩ אֶל־ לֹ֣א יִקְרָ֔בוּ כְּלֵ֨י הַקֹּ֤דֶשׁ וְאֶל־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ וְלֹֽא־ גַם־ הֵ֖ם גַּם־ אַתֶּֽם׃ יָמֻ֥תוּ wə·šā·mə·rū miš·mar·tə·ḵā ū·miš·me·reṯ kāl- hā·’ō·hel ’aḵ ’el- lō yiq·rā·ḇū kə·lê haq·qō·ḏeš wə·’el- ham·miz·bê·aḥ wə·lō- ḡam- hêm gam- ’at·tem yā·mu·ṯū — WLC · 3

4
They are to join you and attend to the duties of the Tent of Meeting, doing all the work at the Tent; but no outsider may come near you.
וְנִלְו֣וּ עָלֶ֔יךָ וְשָֽׁמְר֗וּ אֶת־ מִשְׁמֶ֙רֶת֙ אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד לְכֹ֖ל עֲבֹדַ֣ת הָאֹ֑הֶל לֹא־ וְזָ֖ר יִקְרַ֥ב אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃ wə·nil·wū ‘ā·le·ḵā wə·šā·mə·rū ’eṯ- miš·me·reṯ ’ō·hel mō·w·‘êḏ lə·ḵōl ‘ă·ḇō·ḏaṯ hā·’ō·hel lō- wə·zār yiq·raḇ ’ă·lê·ḵem — WLC · 4

5
And you shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary [and] of the altar, so that wrath may not fall on the Israelites… again.
וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֗ם אֵ֚ת מִשְׁמֶ֣רֶת הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ וְאֵ֖ת מִשְׁמֶ֣רֶת הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ קֶ֖צֶף וְלֹֽא־ יִהְיֶ֥ה עַל־ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ע֛וֹד ū·šə·mar·tem ’êṯ miš·me·reṯ haq·qō·ḏeš wə·’êṯ miš·me·reṯ ham·miz·bê·aḥ qe·ṣep̄ wə·lō- yih·yeh ‘al- bə·nê yiś·rā·’êl ‘ō·wḏ — WLC · 5

6
Behold, I Myself have selected your fellow Levites from the Israelites… as a gift to you, dedicated to [[YHWH|the LORD]] to perform the service for the Tent of Meeting.
הִנֵּ֤ה וַאֲנִ֗י לָקַ֙חְתִּי֙ אֶת־ אֲחֵיכֶ֣ם הַלְוִיִּ֔ם מִתּ֖וֹךְ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מַתָּנָ֤ה לָכֶ֞ם נְתֻנִים֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה לַעֲבֹ֕ד אֶת־ עֲבֹדַ֖ת אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃ hin·nêh wa·’ă·nî lā·qaḥ·tî ’eṯ- ’ă·ḥê·ḵem hal·wî·yim mit·tō·wḵ bə·nê yiś·rā·’êl mat·tā·nāh lā·ḵem nə·ṯu·nîm Yah·weh la·‘ă·ḇōḏ ’eṯ- ‘ă·ḇō·ḏaṯ ’ō·hel mō·w·‘êḏ — WLC · 6

7
But only you and your sons… shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and what is inside the veil, and you are to perform that service. I am giving you the work of the priesthood as a gift, but any outsider who comes near [the sanctuary] must be put to death.”
וְאַתָּ֣ה וּבָנֶ֣יךָ אִ֠תְּךָ תִּשְׁמְר֨וּ אֶת־ כְּהֻנַּתְכֶ֜ם לְכָל־ דְּבַ֧ר הַמִּזְבֵּ֛חַ וּלְמִבֵּ֥ית לַפָּרֹ֖כֶת וַעֲבַדְתֶּ֑ם אֶתֵּן֙ אֶת־ עֲבֹדַ֣ת כְּהֻנַּתְכֶ֔ם מַתָּנָ֗ה וְהַזָּ֥ר הַקָּרֵ֖ב יוּמָֽת׃ס wə·’at·tāh ū·ḇā·ne·ḵā ’it·tə·ḵā tiš·mə·rū ’eṯ- kə·hun·naṯ·ḵem lə·ḵāl də·ḇar ham·miz·bê·aḥ ū·lə·mib·bêṯ lap·pā·rō·ḵeṯ wa·‘ă·ḇaḏ·tem ’et·tên ’eṯ- ‘ă·ḇō·ḏaṯ kə·hun·naṯ·ḵem mat·tā·nāh wə·haz·zār haq·qā·rêḇ yū·māṯ — WLC · 7

Offerings for Priests and Levites
8
Then [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to Aaron, “Behold, I have put you in charge of My offerings. As for all the sacred offerings vvv of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute.
יְהוָה֮ וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר אֶֽל־ אַהֲרֹן֒ הִנֵּ֣ה וַאֲנִי֙ נָתַ֣תִּֽי לְךָ֔ אֶת־ מִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת תְּרוּמֹתָ֑י לְכָל־ קָדְשֵׁ֣י בְנֵֽי־ יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל נְתַתִּ֧ים לְךָ֨ וּלְבָנֶ֖יךָ לְמָשְׁחָ֛ה עוֹלָֽם׃ לְחָק־ Yah·weh way·ḏab·bêr ’el- ’a·hă·rōn hin·nêh wa·’ă·nî nā·ṯat·tî lə·ḵā ’eṯ- miš·me·reṯ tə·rū·mō·ṯāy lə·ḵāl qā·ḏə·šê ḇə·nê- yiś·rā·’êl nə·ṯat·tîm lə·ḵā ū·lə·ḇā·ne·ḵā lə·mā·šə·ḥāh ‘ō·w·lām lə·ḥāq- — WLC · 8

- A portion of the most holy offerings… [reserved] from the fire will be yours. From all the offerings… they render to Me as most holy [offerings]…, whether grain offerings… or sin offerings… or guilt offerings, [that part] belongs to you and your sons.

10
You are to eat it as a most holy [offering]…, [and] every male may eat it. You shall regard it as holy -.
תֹּאכֲלֶ֑נּוּ בְּקֹ֥דֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁ֖ים כָּל־ זָכָר֙ יֹאכַ֣ל אֹת֔וֹ יִֽהְיֶה־ קֹ֖דֶשׁ לָּֽךְ׃ tō·ḵă·len·nū bə·qō·ḏeš haq·qo·ḏā·šîm kāl- zā·ḵār yō·ḵal ’ō·ṯōw yih·yeh- qō·ḏeš lāḵ — WLC · 10

11
And this is yours as well: the offering of their gifts, along with all the wave offerings vvv of the Israelites. I have given this to you and your sons and daughters… as a permanent statute. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat it -.

12
I give you all the freshest olive oil and all the finest new wine and grain that the Israelites give to [[YHWH|the LORD]] as their firstfruits.

The firstfruits of everything in their land that they bring to [[YHWH|the LORD]] will belong to you. Every ceremonially clean person in your household may eat them.

15
The firstborn… of every womb, whether man or beast, that is offered to [[YHWH|the LORD]] belongs to you. But you must surely redeem… every firstborn son [and] every firstborn male of unclean animals.

16
You are to pay the redemption price for a month-old male… according to your valuation: five shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel, which is twenty gerahs.

17
But you must not redeem the firstborn of an ox, a sheep,… or… a goat; they are holy. You are to splatter their blood on the altar and burn their fat as a food offering, a pleasing aroma to [[YHWH|the LORD]].

All the holy offerings that vvv the Israelites present to [[YHWH|the LORD]] I give to you and to your sons and daughters… as a permanent statute. It is a permanent covenant of salt before [[YHWH|the LORD]] for you and your offspring…”

Then [[YHWH|the LORD]]… said to Aaron, “You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the Israelites…

Behold, I have given to the Levites… all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work they do, the service of the Tent of Meeting.

22
No longer may the Israelites… come near to the Tent of Meeting, or they will incur guilt and die.

23
The Levites… are to perform the work of the Tent of Meeting, and they must bear their iniquity. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come. The Levites will not receive an inheritance… among the Israelites…
