Num 8:16-18 | MHM | STEP | v. 16-19 : God explained that the Levites were taken in place of the firstborn of Israel (v. 16-18 ). They were given as a gift to Aaron and his sons to help in the service of the sanctuary. Their work would benefit all the Israelites by maintaining peace with God and preventing plagues or judgment. This shows the importance of faithful ministers, who serve both God and the people by keeping worship orderly and acceptable to God (Eph. iv. 8, 11, 12 ).
