Verse 47
LEVITES EXEMPTED FROM THE CENSUS, AND ASSIGNED TO THE TABERNACLE SERVICE, Numbers 1:47-53.
47. Levites… not numbered As the Levites were wholly devoted to sacred duties in the place of the firstborn, they were exempted from the payment of the half-shekel atonement poll-tax, as well as from military service. Hence they were not enumerated in either the former or the present census. A special census of Levites will be found in Numbers 3:15.
