2 It was then that David said: “No one is to carry the ark of the [true] God but the Levites, for they are the ones whom Jehovah has chosen to carry the ark of Jehovah*+ and to minister+ to him to time indefinite.”

13 The sons of Amʹram were Aaron+ and Moses.+ But Aaron was separated+ that he might sanctify* the Most Holy,+ he and his sons to time indefinite, to make sacrificial+ smoke before Jehovah, to minister to him+ and to pronounce blessing+ in his name to time indefinite.

10 As for us, Jehovah is our God,+ and we have not left him; but priests are ministering to Jehovah, the sons of Aaron, and also the Levites in the work.+
