who were pointed to the liturgical offices of the tabernacle. We must not forget that the Levites
were given to Aaron and his sons, i.e. to the priests as an order, and were accordingly the first
Nethinim. (Numbers 3:9; 8:19) At first they were the only attendants, and their work must have
been laborious enough. The first conquests, however, brought them their share of the captive slaves
