Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 18 of Deuteronomy. The priests and Levites do not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes because their inheritance is service to the Lord. They receive portions of sacrifices and offerings for their support. The passage establishes that those devoted to worship must be sustained by the community and that priestly service constitutes a specific vocation within Israel.

daß er diene im Namen des HERRN, seines Gottes, wie alle seine Brüder, die Leviten, die daselbst vor dem HERR stehen:
Ministrará al nombre de Jehová su Dios, como todos sus hermanos los Levitas que estuvieren allí delante de Jehová.
servirá en el nombre de Jehová su Dios como todos sus hermanos levitas que están allí delante de Jehová.
et qu'il fera le service au nom de l'Eternel, ton Dieu, comme tous ses frères les Lévites qui se tiennent là devant l'Eternel,
faccia il servigio nel Nome del Signore Iddio suo, come tutti gli altri suoi fratelli Leviti, che stanno quivi davanti al Signore.
E servir no nome do SENHOR seu Deus, como também todos os seus irmãos, os levitas, que assistem ali perante o SENHOR,
就要在那裏奉耶和華-他上帝的名事奉,正如他的眾弟兄 利未 人在耶和華面前侍立一樣。
