NETBible

I myself have chosen 1  your brothers the Levites from among the Israelites. They are given to you as a gift from the Lord, to perform the duties 2  of the tent of meeting.

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “taken.”

2 tn The infinitive construct in this sentence is from עָבַד (’avad), and so is the noun that serves as its object: to serve the service.
