Commentary on Numbers 1:49
The command 'thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi' establishes their unique status among Israel's tribes. Levi's separation for holy service meant they would not fight in Israel's wars or own tribal territory, depending instead on offerings and designated cities. This prefigures the New Testament principle that those who serve the gospel should live by the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:14), supported by God's people rather than pursuing secular employment.
