Subject: why did god choose levites

Bible Note: Jacob was referring back to Genesis 34 where they killed the men of Shechem, using that to bless in the manner of the lives they would live. So the answer to your question is yes and no.

An interesting side note to this is that the tribe of Levi was exempt from all military service, but they were the defenders of the tabernacle/temple.
