Contextual Overview
1 These are the people of Aaron and Moses at the time when the Lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai. 2 The names of the sons of Aaron are Nadab the first-born, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the chosen religious leaders. Aaron set them apart to work as religious leaders. 4 But Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord when they made a fire that was not holy to the Lord in the Desert of Sinai. And they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar worked as religious leaders during the life-time of their father Aaron. 5 Then the Lord said to Moses, 6 "Bring the family of Levi near. Set them in front of Aaron the religious leader so they may serve him. 7 They will do the duties for him and for all the people in front of the meeting tent. They will do the work around the meeting tent, 8 and will keep all the things that belong to the meeting tent. They will take care of the duties for the people of Israel as they work around the meeting tent. 9 You will give the Levites to Aaron and his sons. They are all given to him from among the people of Israel. 10 Set apart Aaron and his sons to do the work of religious leaders. But if anyone comes near who is not a religious leader, he must be put to death."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons,.... To be their ministers and servants:
they [are] wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel: even all of them entirely, none excepted; the whole tribe which were not in the priestly office; those were separated from the rest of the tribes of Israel, and appointed for the service of the priests: or they were "given, given" q; which is repeated not only to show that they were wholly given, as we render it, but to denote the certainty of it, that they were really given; and especially to declare the freeness of the gift; the priests had them as free gifts, nor did they pay them any thing for, their service; they were maintained another way, namely, by the tithes of the people; and indeed the priests received a tithe out of the tithe of the Levites; so far were they from contributing any thing to their support, or in consideration of the service they did them.
