“Don’t count the men from Levi’s family group or include them with the other people of Israel.
The Lord had told Moses:
Moses obeyed the Lord and did not count the Levites with the other people of Israel.
The total number of men from Levi’s family group was 23,000. But these men were not counted with the other people of Israel. They did not get a share of the land that the Lord gave to the other people.
