17Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: 18"Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be wiped out from the Levites. 19Do this for them so that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy objects: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and transportation duty. 20The Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects as they are covered or they will die."New Living Translation

17Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 18Do not let the Kohathite clans be destroyed from among the Levites! 19This is what you must do so they will live and not die when they approach the most sacred objects. Aaron and his sons must always go in with them and assign a specific duty or load to each person. 20The Kohathites must never enter the sanctuary to look at the sacred objects for even a moment, or they will die.'English Standard Version
