Gill's Notes on the Bible
Only thou shall not number the tribe of Levi,.... That is, along with the other tribes, for it might be numbered by itself, as it afterwards was, Numbers 3:43;
neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel; which confirms what is before observed: now this being the declared will of God clears Moses from all partiality to his own tribe, he doing nothing but what he had a command of God for it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
When a census of the tribe of Levi takes place. Numbers 3:15; Numbers 26:62, âallâ the males are counted from a month old and upward, and not, as in the other tribes, those only who were of age for service in the field.
Numbers 1:48
had spoken - Render spake. The formal appointment is only now made, in reward for their zeal Exodus 32:26-29, though reference to their future office appears previously in Leviticus 25:32 ff, and they had already acted as assistants to the priests (compare Exodus 38:21).
