Wesley's Notes for Numbers 1:48

1:49 Levi - Because they were not generally to go out to war, which was the thing principally eyed in this muster, #Nu 1:3|,20,45, but were to attend upon the service of the tabernacle. They that minister upon holy things, should not entangle themselves in secular affairs. The ministry itself is work enough for a whole man, and all little enough to be employed in it.

1:50 The tabernacle of testimony - So called here, and #Exo 38:21|, because it was made chiefly for the sake of the ark of the testimony, which is often called the testimony.
