Jeg har gitt levittene som en gave til Aron og hans sønner fra blant Israels barn, for å utføre tjenesten for Israels barn i møte teltet og gjøre soning for Israels barn, så det ikke skal komme noen plage blant Israels barn når Israels barn nærmer seg helligdommen.»
I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement for the children of Israel; that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come near to the sanctuary."
