“And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord.”
Aaron shall present the Levites before the LORD as an elevation offering (tenufah) from the Israelites, that they may do the service of the LORD — the Levites themselves, like animals in sacrifice, become a 'wave offering' or 'elevation offering' (tenufah) presented before God. The Levites are gifts from Israel to God, consecrated for sanctuary labor. Aaron's presentation role underscores that Levitical service operates under Aaronic priesthood authority.
