Numbers 1:49
Compare all
47 But athe Levites were not numbered among them by their fathers’ tribe;  
48 for the Lord had spoken to Moses, saying:
49 a“Only the tribe of Levi you shall not number, nor take a census of them among the children of Israel;  
50 abut you shall appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, over all its furnishings, and over all things that belong to it; they shall carry the tabernacle and all its furnishings; they shall attend to it band camp around the tabernacle.  
51 aAnd when the tabernacle is to go forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites shall set it bup. cThe outsider who comes near shall be put to death.

Numbers 1:49

Levi - Because they were not generally to go out to war, which was the thing principally eyed in this muster, Numbers 1:3, Numbers 1:20, Numbers 1:45, but were to attend upon the service of the tabernacle. They that minister upon holy things, should not entangle themselves in secular affairs. The ministry itself is work enough for a whole man, and all little enough to be employed in it.
