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.”
Targum Jonathan
and have given the Levites (as) gifts unto Aharon and to his sons from among the sons of Israel, to minister the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of ordinance, and to atone for the children of Israel, lest there be mortality among the children of Israel at the time when they approach the sanctuary.
