Alternate translation: "Bring the men of the tribe of Levi" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]]) - +"Bring the men of the tribe of Levi". The Levites were given a special function in Israel. They belonged to or were specially dedicated to serve Yahweh. They were to be priests, and because of this they were held to a higher standard than the rest of Israel. Only two of Aaron's sons survived because his other two sons offered improper sacrifices. This tribe had a lot of responsibility during this time. \ No newline at end of file
