Only thou shall not number the tribe of Levi, etc.] That is, along with the other tribes, for it might be numbered by itself, as it afterwards was, (<040343>Numbers 3:43); neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel; which confirms what is before observed: now this being the declared will of God clears Moses from all partiality to his own tribe, he doing nothing but what he had a command of God for it.
