Exegesis
The pronoun hu {הוּא | hûʾ} ‘he himself’ restricts this obligation to the Levite.
In context — Numbers 18:23
But the Levite —he himself—shall carry out the service of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their guilt. This is an everlasting statute for your generations. And among the sons of Israel they shall not inherit an inheritance.
