Numbers 3
Moses and Aaron are descendents of Levi, and God chooses the whole of their clan or extended family to supply priests and the caretakers of all that is holy.
They take a count of all the Levites aged from 1 month old, and there are 22,000.
The census taken last time found that 22,373 first born sons in the rest of the tribes and the remaining 373 first born sons have to be redeemed for 5 shekels each
Numbers 4
There are 3 subclans in the tribe of Levi - Korathites (who are Moses and Aarons family) - these guys look after all of the most holy items.
Gershonites - These guys get to move and look after all the soft areas of the tabernacle - including all the curtains and covers
Merarites - these guys get to move and look after all the hardware - poles, posts, pegs, bases, pegs, ropes etc
In total there are 8580 able bodied people aged from 30 to 50 who are able to help look after the tabernacle and all the furnishings
I'm bit quite sure that there is actually anything particularly interesting in Numbers so far, only from an academic historical viewpoint.
