Verse Nu03-06a is written in a General-Detail
form:
Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that
they may minister unto him.
Notice the word that which indicates the
transition in the general-detail form. The Rabbi
Ishmael style rules require that such a sentence
be interpreted restrictively.
Levites help the priests only by serving and
ministering to them (e.g. by singing songs of praise
during the Temple service); but not e.g. by offering sacrifices.
Rashi derives this restrictive interpretation from the Detail
clause - that they may minister unto him - which restricts
the general clause Bring the tribe of Levi near and set them
before Aaron the priest.
