Num 4:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2-3 : Only Levite males from thirty to fifty years old were chosen for this service. Unlike the other tribes, which counted men from twenty years old for war, the Levites started at thirty because the work required maturity and wisdom. They served for twenty years, then were released from the heavy work, to protect their health and honor God by giving Him their best years. This teaches us that spiritual leaders should be well-prepared and not new to their duties (Numbers 8:24; 1 Chronicles 23:24 ; Ezra 3:8; 1 Timothy 3:6,10 ).
