18 “Don’t cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;
19 but do this to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint everyone to his service and to his burden;
20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.”
21 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
