13:10 But as for us, the Lord is our God and we have not rejected him. Aaron’s descendants serve as the Lord’s priests and the Levites assist them with the work. 1 13:11 They offer burnt sacrifices to the Lord every morning and every evening, along with fragrant incense. They arrange the Bread of the Presence on a ritually clean table and light the lamps on the gold lampstand every evening. Certainly 2 we are observing the Lord our God’s regulations, but you have rejected him.
13:12 Now look, God is with us as our leader. His priests are ready to blow the trumpets to signal the attack against you. 3 You Israelites, don’t fight against the Lord God of your ancestors, 4 for you will not win!”
