Parshat Bamidbar
-----------------
G-d spoke to Moses, saying... Place the Levites in charge of the Sanctuary, its furnishings, and all that pertains to it... when the Sanctuary is moved, the Levites shall take it down, and when the Sanctuary encamps, the Levites shall set it up... (Numbers 1:49-52)
Not only the tribe of Levi, but also any man of all the inhabitants of the earth whose mind has enlightened him and whose spirit has moved him to set himself aside to stand before G-d to serve Him, to worship Him, to know G-d and walk justly, and he cast from his neck the yoke of the many calculations that men seek - also he has become sanctified, a holy of holies, and G-d shall be his portion and his lot for all eternity... just as the priests and the Levites. (Maimonides)
