1 These also are the generations of Aaron and Moyses, in ye day that the Lorde spake with Moyses in mount Sinai. 2 And these are the names of the sonnes of Aaron: Nadab the eldest sonne, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sonnes of Aaron whiche were priestes annoynted, and whose hande was consecrated to minister. 4 And Nadab and Abihu dyed before the Lorde, when they offred straunge fire befor the Lorde in the wyldernesse of Sinai, and had no chyldren: And Eleazar and Ithamar ministred in the sight of Aaron their father. 5 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: 6 Bryng the tribe of Leui, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may serue hym: 7 And take the charge with hym, euen the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the seruice of the tabernacle. 8 They shall kepe all the instrumentes of the tabernacle of the congregation, & haue the charge of the chyldren of Israel, to do the seruice of the tabernacle. 9 And thou shalt geue the Leuites vnto Aaron and to his sonnes: for they are geuen and deliuered vnto hym of the chyldren of Israel. 10 And thou shalt appoynt Aaron and his sonnes to wayte on their priestes office: and the straunger that commeth nye, shalbe slayne.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
The word hakraiv, here rendered bring near, is properly a sacrificial word, and signifies the presenting of a sacrifice or offering to the Lord. As an offering, the tribe of Levi was entirely given up to the service of the sanctuary, to be no longer their own, but the Lord's. Numbers 1:49-53, Numbers 2:17, Numbers 2:33, Numbers 8:6-15, Numbers 8:22-26, Numbers 16:9-11, Numbers 18:2-6, Exodus 32:26-29, Deuteronomy 33:8, Deuteronomy 33:9, Malachi 2:4
Reciprocal: Numbers 8:19 - I have given 1 Chronicles 23:28 - for the service 1 Chronicles 23:32 - the charge of the sons 2 Chronicles 29:11 - the Lord Ezra 6:18 - as it is written

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Bring the tribe of Levi near,.... Separate them from the rest, set them apart for special service about, the sanctuary, let them have a place nearer to it than the other tribes, or offer them, that is, to the Lord, as in Numbers 8:11; as well as bring them near to Aaron; so it follows:
and present them before Aaron the priest; that he may receive them as a gift unto him, as servants to wait upon him; and! that he may appoint and declare unto them their work, and set them about it:
that they may minister unto him; in guarding the tabernacle taking care of the vessels of it, taking it down, carrying it, from place to place, and setting it up as there was occasion for it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Numbers 3:6. Bring the tribe of Levi near — The original word הקרב hakreb is properly a sacrificial word, and signifies the presenting of a sacrifice or offering to the Lord. As an offering, the tribe of Levi was given up entirely to the service of the sanctuary, to be no longer their own, but the Lord's property.
