“According to the commandment of the Lord they were numbered by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the Lord commanded Moses.”
According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered by the hand of Moses, everyone according to his service and according to his burden — the concluding formula validates the entire census procedure, grounding the Levitical organization in divine command. The phrase 'everyone according to his service and according to his burden' emphasizes that Levitical assignment reflects both capacity and responsibility, creating a system of organization that respects individual capability.
