The responsibilities of the Levites are enumerated again in Numbers 3. The worship through offerings and sacrifices would be difficult. The moving of the sanctuary would require a lot of people. They also served as the leadership of the Israelites at this time, before a King was appointed.
The dedication of the first born and the Levites who took their place is also mentioned here.
Numbers 4 specifies the divisions of the Levites and their occupations in the transportation and worship services of the children of Israel. Once again Jehovah is specific in what He wanted each Levite to do. The count was also made as the Lord requested.
