Halakhah sobre Deuteronómio 18:7

וְשֵׁרֵ֕ת בְּשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑יו כְּכָל־אֶחָיו֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם הָעֹמְדִ֥ים שָׁ֖ם לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

Ministrará al nombre de SEÑOR su Dios, como todos sus hermanos los Levitas que estuvieren allí delante de SEÑOR.

Sefer HaChinukh

The commandment of the service of the Levites in the Temple: That the Levites serve in the Temple to be gatekeepers and to sing everyday over the sacrifice, as it is stated (Numbers 18:23), "And the Levite shall serve, he, etc." And the language of the Sifrei is "I can understand if he wants, he serves, and if he does not want, he does not serve. [Hence], we learn to say, 'And the Levite shall serve, he' - [even] against his will," meaning to say that this thing is an obligation, and that this matter is incumbent upon him perforce. And it is also elucidated in the second chapter of Arakhin 11a, that no one should ever say the song of the mouth (in the Temple) besides the Levite. And this commandment is repeated in the Torah with a different expression, as it is stated (Deuteronomy 18:7), "And he shall serve in the name of the Lord, his God." And they said there in Arakhin, "What is the service that is [done] in the name of the Lord? It should be said, it is song."
