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

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.
