וִֽידַעְתֶּם כִּי שִׁלַּחְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם אֵת הַמִּצְוָה הַזֹּאת לִֽהְיוֹת בְּרִיתִי אֶת־לֵוִי אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֽוֹת
Know then that I have sent This commandment unto you, That My covenant might be with Levi, Saith the LORD of hosts.
בְּרִיתִי הָיְתָה אִתּוֹ הַֽחַיִּים וְהַשָּׁלוֹם וָאֶתְּנֵֽם־לוֹ מוֹרָא וַיִּֽירָאֵנִי וּמִפְּנֵי שְׁמִי נִחַת הֽוּא
My covenant was with him Of life and peace, and I gave them to him, And of fear, and he feared Me, And was afraid of My name.
תּוֹרַת אֱמֶת הָיְתָה בְּפִיהוּ וְעַוְלָה לֹא־נִמְצָא בִשְׂפָתָיו בְּשָׁלוֹם וּבְמִישׁוֹר הָלַךְ אִתִּי וְרַבִּים הֵשִׁיב מֵעָוֺֽן
The law of truth was in his mouth, And unrighteousness was not found in his lips; He walked with Me in peace and uprightness, And did turn many away from iniquity.
כִּֽי־שִׂפְתֵי כֹהֵן יִשְׁמְרוּ־דַעַת וְתוֹרָה יְבַקְשׁוּ מִפִּיהוּ כִּי מַלְאַךְ יְהוָֽה־צְבָאוֹת הֽוּא
For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, And they should seek the law at his mouth; For he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
וְאַתֶּם סַרְתֶּם מִן־הַדֶּרֶךְ הִכְשַׁלְתֶּם רַבִּים בַּתּוֹרָה שִֽׁחַתֶּם בְּרִית הַלֵּוִי אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֽוֹת
But ye are turned aside out of the way; Ye have caused many to stumble in the law; Ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, Saith the LORD of hosts.
