In Number chapter 1 the Levites were not counted when the men of Israel was numbered as God had instructed as they were set apart for service to God for the care of the tabernacle and all the services they were to perform as priests. They were set apart for this work, and so they did not have to tithe as the other tribes were expected to do. Numbers chapter 3 and 4 tell us about the responsibilities of each group of Levites.
This was also spoken of in Exodus chapter 13, I believe, when speaking of the consecration of the firstborn of every family. The Levites were set aside to fulfill this command of the consecration of every firstborn. Instead of having every first born be given unto the Lord, the Levites took the place of the first born. The parents of the firstborn would then give to the Levites what the Lord commanded as compensation for the Levites ALL being consecrated to God for life in lieu of every firstborn.
In this way, the Levites belonged to God in a special way because they were to perform all of the priestly duties before God.
