He said to me,“ The room facing south is for the priests who guard the temple,

And he said to me,“ This chamber that faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple,

And the man said to me,“ The room beside the north inner gate is for the priests who supervise the Temple maintenance.

Then the man said to me,“ This chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple.

Then he said to me,“ This is the chamber which faces south, intended for the priests who are responsible for the temple;

Then he said to me,“ This chamber which faces south is for the priests who have charge of the temple.

And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house;

Then the man said to me:“ This chamber that faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple.

And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect[ is] toward the south,[ is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.

He said to me,“ This chamber which faces south is for the priests who keep charge of the temple,

He said to me,“ This room, which faces toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the duty of the house.

These Levites and their children after them were in charge of guarding the gates of the house of the Lord. The house of the Lord was also called the tent of meeting.

All you who serve the Lord, praise the Lord. All you who serve at night in the house of the Lord, praise him.

Stay at the entrance to the tent of meeting for seven days. Stay here day and night. Do what the Lord requires. Then you won’t die. That’s the command the Lord gave me.”

Then the Lord said to me,“ Son of man, look toward the north.” So I did. I saw a statue that made God angry. It was in the entrance of the gate north of the altar.

He has made us members of his royal family. He has made us priests who serve his God and Father. Glory and power belong to Jesus Christ for ever and ever! Amen.

Every morning and evening the priests bring burnt offerings and sweet- smelling incense to the Lord. They set out the holy bread on the table. That table is‘ clean.’ They light the lamps on the gold lampstand every evening. We always do what the Lord our God requires in his law. But you have deserted him.

The chief leader of the Levites was Eleazar. He was the son of Aaron the priest. Eleazar was appointed over those responsible for taking care of the sacred tent.

The families of Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel belonged to the family of Kohath.All the males a month old or more were counted. There were 8,600 of them. The families of Kohath were responsible for taking care of the sacred tent.

Aaron and his sons after him brought the offerings. They sacrificed them on the altar of burnt offering. They also burned incense on the altar of incense. That was part of what they did in the Most Holy Room. That’s how they paid for the sin of Israel. They did everything just as Moses, the servant of God, had commanded.

Timothy, guard what God has trusted you with. Turn away from godless chatter. Stay away from opposing ideas that are falsely called knowledge.

Moses, Aaron and Aaron’s sons had to camp to the east of the holy tent. They had to camp toward the sunrise in front of the tent of meeting. They were responsible for taking care of the sacred tent. They had to do it for the Israelites. Anyone else who approached the tent would be put to death.

“ You will be responsible for taking care of the sacred tent and the altar. Then I will not be angry with the Israelites again.

You will know that I have given you this warning. I have warned you so that my covenant with Levi will continue,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ My covenant promised Levi life and peace. So I gave them to him. I required him to respect me. And he had great respect for my name.True teaching came from his mouth. Nothing but the truth came from his lips. He walked with me in peace. He did what was right. He turned many people away from their sins.“ The lips of a priest should guard knowledge. After all, he is the messenger of the Lord who rules over all. And people seek instruction from his mouth.
