“And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.”
And you shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are wholly given to him from among the children of Israel — the giving of the Levites to Aaron formalizes the subordination of the Levites to the priesthood. The term 'wholly given' (natun yinnatenoo) uses emphatic doubling to stress the completeness of the Levites' dedication to priestly service.
