Numbers 3

YHWH directs Moses to take a census of the Levites, who were excluded from the first census, and assigns each Levite clan specific areas of responsibility in maintaining and transporting the Tabernacle.[1] The Levites are designated to take the place of the firstborn sons of Israel in service to YHWH.[1]
