Genesis 49:5-7 KJV – 5 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty [are in] their habitations. 6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. 7 Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
Deuteronomy 33:8-11 KJV – 8 And of Levi he said, [Let] thy Thummim and thy Urim [be] with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, [and with] whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah; 9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant. 10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. 11 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

And when The Tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when The Tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

And thou shalt take the Levites for Me (I [AM] The LORD) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel. And Moses numbered, as The LORD commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel. And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen. And The LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be Mine: I [AM] The LORD. And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites; Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take [them]: (the shekel [is] twenty gerahs:) And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. And Moses took the Redemption Money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites: Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five [shekels], after the shekel of The Sanctuary: And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to The Word of The LORD, as The LORD commanded Moses.

Levi
ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CREATION, JESUS PLACED PATTERNS OF STARS IN THE SKY, LIGHTS WHICH SERVE FIRST AND FOREMOST AS THE TRIBAL “SIGNS” OR 12 MILITARY “ENSIGNIA” OF THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
[Genesis 1:14 KJV] 14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs,[H226] and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Of the 88 Constellations, or Patterns of Lights that make up the sky, the sun passes through only 12 of these ‘Owthowth, each one in its order. Scientists call the circuit the sun runs through these 12 Signs the “Ecliptic.”
The time it takes for the sun to pass through each ‘Owthowth varies. These time periods are called “Solar Months.” The 12 Biblical Months of the year are named after these 12 Solar Months.
The ‘Owthowth אוֹתוֹת (H226) of the Tribe of Levi is seventh in the sun’s circuit along the ecliptic, separated away from the Tribe of Simeon.
EACH “ SIGN” OR MILITARY “ENSIGN” IS EMBROIDERED ONTO ITS OWN “FLAG” OR “STANDARD” IN ONE OF THE FOUR COLORS OF THE FOUR CAMPS IN THEIR FOUR DIRECTIONS.
[Numbers 2:2 KJV] 2 Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign[H226] of their father’s house: far off about The Tabernacle of the Congregation shall they pitch.
The Tribe of Levi does not go to war, and is not counted among the 12 Companies or Tribes of the Army of Israel. However, the Levities are members of each of the 12 Tribes in their four Camps, in their four directions, with their four Flag colors. At Camp, Moses, Aaron, Eleazar and Ithamar are stationed between Judah’s Eastern Camp and The Tabernacle. The Eastern Camp Levites’ Flag or “Standard” color is Purple.
