"My covenant was
with him (Levi, alluding to Phinehas, Aaron's grandson), a covenant of
life and peace, and I gave them to him; this called for reverence and he
revered me and stood in awe of my name. True instruction was in his
mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in
peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin."
this called for reverence
Deuteronomy 14:23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the LORD your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the LORD your God always.
Deuteronomy 28:58-59 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name--the LORD your God--the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses.
Psalm 119:161 Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart trembles at your word.
Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our "God is a consuming fire." (Deuteronomy 4:24)
True instruction was in his mouth
Deuteronomy 33:10 "He (the Levites) teaches your precepts to Jacob and your law to Israel. He offers incense before you and whole burnt offerings on your altar."
