וְהַ֨לְוִיִּ֔ם לֹ֣א הָתְפָּקְד֔וּ בְּת֖וֹךְ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃
Tetapi orang Lewi tidak dicatat bersama-sama dengan orang Israel lainnya, seperti yang diperintahkan Yang Mahakekal kepada Musa.
Sforno
והלוים לא התפקדו, also among the total of the remainder of the tribes.
Or HaChaim
והלוים לא התפקדו…כאשר צוה ה׳ את משה, and the Levites were not counted among them as G'd had commanded Moses. Even though the count of the Israelites represented a spiritual elevation for them as described in Bamidbar Rabbah,2 nonetheless the Levites were not counted together with the other tribes of Israel seeing G'd had so commanded. At that time the angels were described as descending together with G'd's שכינה on Mount Sinai and they inspired the Israelites to ask for flags similar to what they observed among the angels.
Sforno
כאשר צוה ה' את משה. As G’d had said in 1,49 “do not count them as part of the Children of Israel.”
