They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
They're the ones who get to come into my sacred space, approach my table, and actually serve me directly, and they'll take care of everything I've given them to handle.
Some people get special access to serve God up close and personal.
