The consecration of the Levites concludes in Numbers 8:22 with the statement, “And so the Levites were qualified to work in the Tent under Aaron and his sons.” What had been done to qualify the Levites? God called them, the leaders of the people recognized God’s selection, and the Levites submitted to God’s selection. Aaron sprinkled water on them, they shaved all the hair off of their bodies, and they washed their clothes but it was not these physical actions that qualified them. If they had refused to obey then God would have rejected them but it was primarily God’s selection that made them his special servants. I believe that the same is true for Christians today.
