Counting the Levites

Searching for something interesting in the census, I picked up on the fact that Levite males a year old and up were counted while only adult males of the other tribes were counted. One obvious reason for this is that the Levites were used to redeem the firstborn of the other tribes, and I suppose that is all there is. Before I got to the redemption accounting I was wondering if Levite kids were put to work on tabernacle duties. That resonated with this old preacher’s kid who got the odd jobs like changing lightbulbs in the nave that burned out on Saturday night.
