At that time the <sc>Lordsc> set apart the tribe of Levi<n id="1" /> to carry the ark of the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s covenant, to stand before the <sc>Lordsc> to serve him, and to formulate blessings<n id="2" /> in his name, as they do to this very day.

Then the Levitical priests<n id="1" /> will approach (for the <sc>Lordsc> your God has chosen them to serve him and to pronounce blessings in his name,<n id="2" /> and to decide<n id="3" /> every judicial verdict<n id="4" />)

The <sc>Lordsc> will open for you his good treasure house, the heavens, to give you rain for the land in its season and to bless all you do;<n id="1" /> you will lend to many nations but you will not borrow from any.
