When I asked the question, I thought it was age 30 when priests started,
I had to go look-up when the age 25 was mentioned: seems it lists both ages.
It gets confusing when everyone has [different Jobs] to do, for the [different area's].

This is it that belongeth unto the Levites:

“This is what pertains to the Levites: From twenty-five years old and above

Twenty, or twenty-one?
This is it that belongeth unto the Levites:
26But shall minister [with their brethren] in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the
charge, [and shall do no service]. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
An Apprentence at 25 ?

'YOU'RE FIRED!" Sorry, President Donald Trump snuck in here! LOL!
I think he was 'twitting" his final answer.
After studying this, I think you were correct about 30. Jesus was 30 when He began His ministry.
Excellent point about Jesus starting His ministry at age 30.
I have definitely learned a lot today! Thank you all so much for great questions! It's been so much fun!
joefizz, I shall have to "sleep" on your question about the "shoe size"! LOL!
Goodnight sweet friends,
