All other persons, including the natural Israelites of the twelve non-Levitical tribes, were likened to ‘strangers’ with respect to the Levitical tribe in certain affairs. (Ex. 29:33, NW ftn. [1953], “non-Aaronite, that is, a man not of the family of Aaron”; AV margin, “every one not a Levite”; Num. 3:38, NW ftn. [1953] “that is, a non-Levite”; AV, JB, “layman.” See also Leviticus 22:10; Numbers 3:10.)
