SRB26
Men de kan tjäna sina bröder vid uppenbarelsetältet i deras uppgifter, men de ska inte göra något arbete. Så ska du göra med leviterna i fråga om deras uppgifter.
SKB
men ska betjäna med sina bröder i mötestältet för att behålla uppsikten, men de ska inte längre utföra själva arbetet [de fysiskt krävande uppgifterna]. Så ska du göra med leviterna angående deras uppgifter (det de har ansvar för).” [Strax tidigare hade åldern för att börja prästtjänsten varit 30 år, se 4 Mos 4:3. Här i vers 24 anges 25 år. En förklaring till de olika uppgifterna kan vara att då innebar den ansvarsfulla uppgiften att också transportera tabernaklet. De första fem åren fungerade också troligtvis som en lärlingstid, den tolkningen är den vanliga i den rabbinska traditionen. Längre fram i historien görs fler justeringar, David minskar åldern från 25 till 20 år, se 1 Krön 23:24, 27; 2 Krön 31:17. Även i perioden efter exilen började prästerna tjänstgöra redan vid 20 års ålder, eftersom det fanns så få leviter tillgängliga, se Esra 3:8. Åldersintervallet 25-50 var troligen anpassat för att både ha mognad och styrka. Män över 50 var inte förbjudna att tjäna, men hade då mer rollen av mentorer för de yngre prästerna. Jesus var omkring 30 år när han började sin publika tjänst, se Luk 3:23.]
