The Testimony of John the Baptist

19 ^kAnd this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

19 And I have ^ogiven the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from among the people of Israel, to do the service for the people of Israel at the tent of meeting and to make atonement for the people of Israel, ^pthat there may be no plague among the people of Israel when the people of Israel come near the sanctuary.”
