48There were also their brothers, Levites who were appointed for every ministry of the tabernacle of the house of the Lord.

49Truly, Aaron and his sons were burning offerings upon the altar of holocausts and upon the altar of incense, for the entire work of the Holy of Holies, and to pray on behalf of Israel, in accord with all the things that Moses, the servant of God, had instructed.
