וָאֶתְּנָ֨ה אֶת־הַלְוִיִּ֜ם נְתֻנִ֣ים ׀ לְאַהֲרֹ֣ן וּלְבָנָ֗יו מִתּוֹךְ֮ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ לַעֲבֹ֞ד אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֤ת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד וּלְכַפֵּ֖ר עַל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְלֹ֨א יִהְיֶ֜ה בִּבְנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ נֶ֔גֶף בְּגֶ֥שֶׁת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֶל־הַקֹּֽדֶשׁ׃
Aku telah memberikan orang-orang Lewi sebagai pemberian kepada Harun dan anak-anaknya dari tengah-tengah orang Israel, untuk melakukan pekerjaan pelayanan orang Israel di Kemah Pertemuan dan untuk mengadakan pendamaian bagi orang Israel, supaya jangan ada tulah menimpa orang Israel apabila orang Israel mendekat ke tempat kudus.”
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
From where that the song is called atonement? Ḥinena the father of Bar Nata in the name of Rebbi Banaia: and to atone for the Children of Israel, that is the song. From where that the song invalidates? Rebbi Jacob bar Aḥa, Rebbi Simeon βουλευτής 94“The city councillor”., in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina, and to atone for the Children of Israel, that is the song.
