Numbers 18:1 · Masoretic Text (WLC)
AMPLIFIED · 1 of 3
So the Lord said to Aaron, “You and your sons and your father’s household (family) with you shall bear the guilt in connection with the sanctuary [that is, through your service as priests you will atone for the offenses which the people unknowingly commit when brought into contact with the manifestations of God’s presence]; and you and your sons with you shall bear the guilt in connection with your priesthood [that is, your own unintentional offenses].
Chapter 17 ended in panic - "everyone who keeps approaching Yahweh's tabernacle, dies! Will we all perish?" This chapter opens with the direct answer: the priests themselves will "bear the iniquity of the sanctuary" so the rest of the people don't have to carry that risk.
