Levi - Because they were not generally to go out to war, which was the thing principally eyed in this muster, Num 1:3, Num 1:20, Num 1:45, but were to attend upon the service of the tabernacle. They that minister upon holy things, should not entangle themselves in secular affairs. The ministry itself is work enough for a whole man, and all little enough to be employed in it. Numbers 1:50
