32 The age of twenty-five indicated in v. 24 should be compared with the age of thirty indicated in Num 4:3, 23, 30.

33 The infinitive is לִצְבֹא (litsvo’), related to the word for “host, army, company,” and so “to serve as a company.” The meaning is strengthened by the cognate accusative following it.
