7 They shall ^gkeep guard over him and over the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, as they minister at the tabernacle. 8 They shall guard all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, and keep guard over the people of Israel as they minister at the tabernacle.

26 They minister¹ to their brothers in the tent of meeting by ^rkeeping guard, but they shall do no service. Thus shall you do to the Levites in assigning their duties.”

7 And you and your sons with you shall guard your priesthood for all that concerns the altar and that is within the veil; and you shall serve. I give your priesthood as a gift,¹ and any outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”
