Commentary on Numbers 3:9

The description of Levites as 'wholly given unto him from among the children of Israel' uses the Hebrew nethunim nethunim (literally 'given, given'), a double emphasis demonstrating complete dedication. The Levites were given first to God (consecrated for His service) and then given to Aaron (to assist in priestly duties). This double giving illustrates that all Christian service ultimately flows to God while practically serving His appointed leaders and His people.
