2 And bring near, also, your brothers of the tribe of Leʹvi, the clan of your father, with you, that they may be joined to you and may minister to you,+ to both you and your sons with you, before the tent of the Testimony.+
6 And I, look! I have taken YOUR brothers, the Levites, from among the sons of Israel,+ as a gift for YOU,+ as those given to Jehovah to carry on the service of the tent of meeting.+
8 “At that particular time Jehovah separated the tribe of Leʹvi+ to carry the ark of Jehovah’s covenant,+ to stand before Jehovah for ministering to him+ and to bless in his name until this day.+
48 But the one that did not understand+ and so did things deserving of strokes will be beaten with few.+ Indeed, everyone to whom much was given, much will be demanded+ of him; and the one whom people put in charge of much, they will demand more than usual of him.+
