so that, having been purified, they might enter to their duties in the tabernacle of the covenant before Aaron and his sons. Just as the Lord had instructed Moses about the Levites, so was it done.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
“This is the law of the Levites: From twenty-five years and above, they shall enter to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
And when they will have completed the fiftieth year of age, they shall cease to serve.
And they shall be the ministers of their brothers in the tabernacle of the covenant, in order to care for the things that have been commended to them, but not to perform the works themselves. So shall you assign the Levites in their duties.”
