*1 Rashi inteprets this to refer to the Levite HONOR GUARD
We in fact DO bring this verse when we discuss the honor
guard in the lists of the next posting. But in light
of the other verses an additional simple meaning is that
Levites help out in procedures (like slaughter of
sacrifices) that procure atonement for the Jews
