joined unto thee: There is a fine paronomasia in the original. Levi is desired from lawah:, to join, couple, associate; hence Moses says, the Levites yillawoo:, "shall be joined," or associated, with the priests. They shall conjointly perform the sacred office, but the priests shall be principal, the Levites their associates or assistants. Numbers 18:4; Genesis 29:34

minister: Numbers 3:6-9, Numbers 8:19, Numbers 8:22

but thou: Numbers 3:10-13, Numbers 4:15, Numbers 16:40, Numbers 17:7; 1 Chronicles 16:39-40; 2 Chronicles 30:16; Ezekiel 44:15
