“Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.”
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest — the Levites are presented to Aaron as helpers and subordinates, establishing a hierarchical relationship where the Levites serve the priests. The verb 'bring near' (qareob) is the same term used for offering sacrifice, suggesting the Levites are themselves offered to the sanctuary.
