And there were others
besides the Levites that were chosen to teach and lead. The Levites
were just sent by God in order to 1) demonstrate the way into His
throne room (the Holiest of Holies) and 2) to show power gone wrong
in intellectual “right thinking” people. The sons of Gershon
(Numbers 4:8) were assigned to the tabernacle. The tabernacle itself
held the Holiest of Holies and the outer room with the lampstand, and
so the sons of Gershon ensured the physicality of the tabernacle was
maintained in its purity and sanctification to prepared for the
presentation to God. Then each family was involved in participating
with worship of God (Numbers 3:27).And each was given the appropriate
way to behave in the sight of the Lord, including who to accept and
listen to as leaders, what not to touch, and where not to go (Numbers
4:18-20), God also showed who He wanted as leaders and priests
(Exodus 28:1) by consecrating Aaron and sons from the other
families,.as well as to show how far the leaders had gotten away from
what God wanted. As well God gave Israel the charge if setting
themselves apart from other nations because they were God's chosen.
(Numbers 3:38). In this way God demonstrated living the
sanctification as Paul describes I in 1 Corinthians 12-14).
