Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and fourscore.
The numbering recorded 8,580 Levites set apart for service. They were to erect and take down the tabernacle, encamp around it, and carry it with its sacred furnishings during Israel's journeys. This service was God's honor to them for their faithfulness in carrying out His command against the worshipers of the golden calf.
