Month-old Levi = Christlike infancy; Kohath holy-of-holies coverings begin

Cyril: …sons of Gershon, according to their peoples, Libni and Shimei. And sons of Kohath according to their peoples, Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel; and sons of Merari according to their peoples, Mahli and Mushi. These are peoples of the Levites according to houses of their patriarchies.’ So then observe, O Palladius, and before the others that. For fine is the oversight. So then the popular was being enrolled from twenty-years and upward, the legal accuracy, I somehow think, not deeming worthy the still powerless and inactive, the also being written in a book of God. For the swelling and already in spiritual peaks would reasonably be judged into the catalogues of the saints. So then the law makes a well-natured under-typing of the spiritual age, the bodily, and was setting the in peaks as a chosen-out race, running past the under-age and weak, and still boyish, and not setting in a sacred book. But upon at least the Levites, from a month-old the enrollment has become; for the Master of all accepts also very gladly the infancy in Christ of those chosen-out, just as indeed the thoughtful. For to excel in both is exceptional, in understanding, I say, and simplicity the according to Christ. And indeed all-divine Paul: ‘Brothers, do not become children in the minds, but in the badness be infant, and in the minds become perfect.’ (Numbers 3:18–20) And somewhere Christ himself also says: ‘Become thoughtful as the snakes, and unmixed as the doves.’ (Numbers 1:3) So then acceptable is the simplicity of the saints. And by name and indeed also by peoples and patriarchies is the visiting. For God deems worthy of own oversight whomsoever he should choose to honor, both according to one, and according to multitude, and according to race. And the accurate at least in these, the Savior himself will clarify saying to the holy apostles: ‘Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion, and one of them will not fall upon the earth without your Father the in the heavens? And of you even all the hairs of the head have been numbered.’ (1 Corinthians 14:20)

Palladius: You spoke well.

Cyril: And beside this he was further legislating a second enrollment of the Levitical people to be made, and that for each the liturgy fitting him must have been ordered, saying ‘Take the head-count of the sons of Kohath from midst of sons of Levi, according to their peoples, according to houses of their patriarchies, from twenty and five years, and upward until fifty years, everyone going in to liturgize to do all the works in the tent of the witness. And these the works of the sons of Kohath in the tent of the witness, Holy of holies. And Aaron and his sons will go in, whenever the camp should lift, and will take down the veil the overshadowing, and will cover in it the ark of the witness. And they will set upon it a covering of hyacinth skin, and will cast upon it a whole hyacinth garment from above, and will put through the carrying-poles, and upon the table the set-forward they will cast upon it a whole-purple garment, and the bowls, and the censers, and the cups, and the drink-offering vessels in which they pour, and the breads which will continually upon it (Matthew 10:16) (Matthew 10:29–30) (Numbers 4:2–7)
