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)
