The Levites Were Appointed To Carry the Chest

Moses said to Israel:

^8 (A) After I put the two stones in the sacred chest,^[a] the Lord chose the tribe of Levi, not only to carry the chest, but also to serve as his priests at the place of worship and to bless the other tribes in his name. And they still do these things. ⁹ The Lord promised that he would always provide for the tribe of Levi, and that's why he won't give them any land, when he divides it among the other tribes.
