Only the tribe of Levi you shall not register, and you shall not take a census of them among the children of Israel — the Levites' non-enumeration in the military census does not diminish their tribal status but reorients their purpose toward sacred service. The explicit command establishes the Levites' exemption as divinely mandated, not as a result of tribal inferiority or exemption from covenant membership.
