All the angels stood around the throne, the elders, and the four living creatures. Then they threw themselves face downward in front of the throne and worshiped God,

The Levites were not registered with the other tribes,

"When you take a census of the men fit for military service, do not include the tribe of Levi.

Whenever you move your camp, the Levites shall take the Tent down and set it up again at each new campsite. Anyone else who comes near the Tent shall be put to death.

But the Levites shall camp around the Tent to guard it, so that no one may come near and cause my anger to strike the community of Israel."

So tell them that in the morning they will be brought forward, tribe by tribe. The tribe that I pick out will then come forward, clan by clan. The clan that I pick out will come forward, family by family. The family that I pick out will come forward, one by one.
