וְגַ֣ם אֶת־אַחֶיךָ֩ מַטֵּ֨ה לֵוִ֜י שֵׁ֤בֶט אָבִ֙יךָ֙ הַקְרֵ֣ב אִתָּ֔ךְ וְיִלָּו֥וּ עָלֶ֖יךָ וִֽישָׁרְת֑וּךָ וְאַתָּה֙ וּבָנֶ֣יךָ אִתָּ֔ךְ לִפְנֵ֖י אֹ֥הֶל הָעֵדֻֽת׃
Auch deine Brüder vom Stamm Levi, dem Stamm deines Vaters, bringe zu dir, dass sie sich dir anschließen und dich bedienen; aber du und deine Söhne sind vor dem Zelte des Zeugnisses.

Siftei Chakhamim
In also warning… Not that they should be joined in the warning that you were told about — warning the Levites about the service of the kehunah. Because the service of the kehunah was not given over to them, so how could they warn the Levites about it? Rather, just as a kohein was commanded to warn the Levite not to come into contact with the service of the kehunah, so too the Levite was commanded to warn the Israelite not to come into contact with the service of the Levites. Both would bear their sin if they did not warn them.
