Numbers 3:6-13
Excerpted from: The Priesthood of God (Part 2)At this time the Levites replaced the firstborn sons in regard only to direct duties at the tabernacle. However, this did not end the practice of the dedication of the firstborn. It continued on, but the firstborn’s tabernacle duties were limited. However, their leadership responsibilities to their family and local community continued right on apart from the tabernacle, or later the temple. God just shifted the responsibility away from the directly religious to family and community responsibility. They were to take leadership positions in those areas.
