NETBible

But those who were to camp in front of the tabernacle on the east, in front of the tent of meeting, were Moses, Aaron,¹ and his sons. They were responsible for the needs² of the sanctuary and for the needs of the Israelites, but the unauthorized person who approached was to be put to death.

NET Notes

¹tc In some Hebrew mss and Smr “and Aaron” is not in the verse. The omission arose probably by scribal error with such repetitious material that could easily give rise to variant traditions.

²tn Here again the verb and its cognate noun are used: keeping the keep, or keeping charge over, or taking responsibility for the care of, or the like.
