Numbers 18:2-4
joined unto thee.There is a fine paronomasia in the original. Levi is desired from {lawah,} to join, couple, associate; hence Moses says, the Levites {yillawoo,} "shall be joined," or associated, with the priests: they shall conjointly perform the sacred office, but the priests shall be principal, the Levites their associates or assistants. 4; Ge 29:34minister.3:6-9; 8:19,22but thou.3:10-13; 4:15; 16:40; 17:7; 1Ch 16:39,40; 2Ch 30:16; Eze 44:15 only they.3:25,31,36; 4:19,20; 16:40neither.4:15 a stranger.1:51; 3:10; 1Sa 6:19; 2Sa 6:6,7
