Numbers 4:48
46 So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel numbered by their clans and families all the Levites
47 from thirty to fifty years old who came to do the work of serving and carrying the Tent of Meeting.
And the number of men was 8,580.
49 At the LORD’s command they were numbered through Moses and each one was assigned his work and burden, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
