Priestly duties were confined to the male members of Aaron's family, with the Levites, the rest of the tribe, acting as their assistants. (Nu 3:3, 6-10) This arrangement began with the setting up of the tabernacle, as before this no particular family or tribe was assigned to offer the sacrifices.-Ex 24:5.The Levites were chosen by God in place of all the firstborn of the other tribes. (Ex 13:1, 2, 11-16; Nu 3:41.)
The Levites were made up of three families, from Levi's sons Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. (Ge 46:11; 1Ch 6:1)

The tribe of Levi served as priests in Israel. They were set apart for sacred duties and did not receive a specific portion of land like the other tribes. Members of the tribe of Levi were responsible for performing religious rituals and maintaining the tabernacle and later the temple.

∙ 7y agoStrictly speaking, none of them do. The Levites, descended of Levi, one of the sons of Jacob, do not form a Tribe since the Twelve Tribes distinctly refer to ten of his brothers and the two sons of Joseph. The Levites were still part of the Israelites, just not part of the Twelve Tribes and they lived among the other tribes as opposed to getting a land inheritance. This non-tribalness was a result of their priestly duties.

∙ 7y agoNone, since the Tribe of Levi and the Kohanim are not identical. Rather, the Kohanim were one family among the Levites (Numbers ch.3).
