And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.

Take some from them to help with the temple work; then give them to the tribe of Levites, based on their specific tasks.
