Formal Translation And I {Yahweh, Giver of Levites} have given the Levites to Aaron and his sons as gifts from among the children of Israel, to carry out the service on behalf of the sons of Israel in the Tent of Meeting and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, so that no plague will come upon the sons of Israel when they draw near to the sanctuary. |
