Explanation preview

This verse sits in a long genealogy of Levi's descendants, written after the exile to show Israel's returning community who was who. It draws a line between the wider Levites, who handled the tabernacle's general service, and Aaron's sons, the priests alone permitted to serve in the Most Holy Place and to offer on the altars of burnt offering and incense.
