Exegesis
The compound prepositional phrase le-khol-devar ha-mizbeach u-le-beit la-parochet {לְכָל־דְּבַר הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וּלְמִבֵּית לַפָּרֹכֶת | lə-ḵōl-də-var ha-miz-bē-aḥ ū-lə-mi-bēt la-pā-rō-khet} delineates two zones of service: the altar (sacrificial sphere) and the sanctuary behind the veil (inner sanctum).
In context — Numbers 18:7
But you and your sons with you shall keep your priesthood for every matter of the altar and within the veil, and you shall serve, for I have given you the priesthood as a service of gift; and the outsider who comes near shall be put to death.
