Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ But Nadab and Abihu died before Yahweh, when they brought near strange fire before Yahweh, in the desert of Sinai, and, sons, had they none,––so then Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests, in the presence of Aaron their father. ⁵ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying–– ⁶ Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou shalt cause it to stand before Aaron the priest,––so shall they wait upon him; ⁷ so shall they keep his charge, and the charge of all the assembly, before the tent of meeting,––to do the laborious work of the habitation; ⁸ so shall they have charge of all the furniture of the tent of meeting, even the charge of the sons of Israel,––to do the laborious work of the habitation. ⁹ Thus shalt thou give the Levites unto Aaron, and unto his sons,––given, given, they are unto him, from among the sons of Israel; ¹⁰ but, unto Aaron, and unto his sons, shalt thou give oversight, so shall they keep charge of their priesthood,––and, the stranger who cometh near, shall be put to death.
