Here in this chapter, we read again of God reiterating the roles and functions of Aaron and his sons and that of the Levites. Their position and place are clearly defined. Aaron and his sons will be responsible for what happens in connection with the priestly work in the tabernacle. The Levites were given by God to assist Aaron and his sons. But only Aaron and his sons will be responsible for the priestly work. The Levites are not to intrude into it.
Then we read of the portion of the priests for their sustenance, followed by the portion of the Levites for their own sustenance. Since they work in connection with the tabernacle full time and since they had no inheritance of land in Israel, the people are responsible to support them.
