16. "Of all the people of Israel, the Levites are reserved for me. I have claimed them for myself in place of all the firstborn sons of the Israelites; I have taken the Levites as their substitutes. 17. For all the firstborn males among the people of Israel are mine, both of people and of animals. I set them apart for myself on the day I struck down all the firstborn sons of the Egyptians. 18. Yes, I have claimed the Levites in place of all the firstborn sons of Israel. 19. And of all the Israelites, I have assigned the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They will serve in the Tabernacle on behalf of the Israelites and make sacrifices to purify the people so no plague will stike them when they approach the sanctuary." 20. So Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel dedicated the Levites, carefully following all the LORD'S instructions to Moses. 21. The Levites purified themselves from sin and washed their clothes, and Aaron lifted them up and presented them to the LORD as a special offering. He then offered a sacrifice to purify them and make them right with the LORD. 22. After that the Levites went into the Tabernacle to perform their duties, assisting Aaron and his sons. So they carried out all the commands that the LORD gave Moses concerning the Levites. 23. The LORD also instructed Moses, 24. "This is the rules the Levites must follow: They must begin serving in the Tabernacle at the age of twenty-five, 25. and they must retire at the age of fifty. 26. After retirement they may assist their fellow Levites by serving as guards at the Tabernacle, but they may not officiate in the service. This is how you must assign duties to the Levites." Numbers 8:16-26 NLT 4. Thank you for coming today. Please leave your initials and a comment. Don't forget to check the box underneath your comment, so replies will be directed to you.
