"And they shall thus attend to your obligation and the obligation of all the tent, but they shall not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary and the altar, or both they and you will die.

Hebrew Text (Torah)

ג וְשָׁמְרוּ, מִשְׁמַרְתְּךָ, וּמִשְׁמֶרֶת, כָּל-הָאֹהֶל: אַךְ אֶל-כְּלֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְאֶל-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ לֹא יִקְרָבוּ, וְלֹא-יָמֻתוּ גַם-הֵם גַּם-אַתֶּם.

Greek Text (Septuagint)

3 καὶ φυλάξονται τὰς φυλακάς σου καὶ τὰς φυλακὰς τῆς σκηνῆς, πλὴν πρὸς τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια καὶ πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον οὐ προσελεύσονται, καὶ οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται καὶ οὗτοι καὶ ὑμεῖς.
