Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 18 of Numbers. The Levites receive Israel’s tithes as an inheritance for their service, but they must also give a tithe of the tithes to the priests. The arrangement prevents the tithe from being viewed as personal property detached from worship. The system maintains a chain of responsibility within ministry and requires even those who receive resources designated for service to acknowledge God’s authority over them.

Daß hinfort die Kinder Israel nicht zur Hütte des Stifts sich tun, Sünde auf sich zu laden, und sterben;
Y no llegarán más los hijos de Israel al tabernáculo del testimonio, porque no lleven pecado, por el cual mueran.
Les enfants d'Israël n'approcheront plus de la tente d'assignation, de peur qu'ils ne se chargent d'un péché et qu'ils ne meurent.
E non accostinsi più i figliuoli d’Israele al Tabernacolo della convenenza; acciocchè non portino peccato, e non muoiano.
E nunca mais os filhos de Israel se chegarão à tenda da congregação, para que não levem sobre si o pecado e morram.
以色列 人不可再挨近會幕,免得他們擔當罪而死。
