Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
A Levite - The Levites, as well as the priests, were of the tribe of Levi, and were set apart to the duties of religion. The special duty of the priest was "to offer sacrifice" at the temple; to present incense; to conduct the morning and evening services of the temple, etc. The office or duty of the "Levites" was to render assistance to the priests in their services. In the journey of the Israelites through the wilderness, it was their duty to transport the various parts of the tabernacle and the sacred utensils. It was their duty to see that the tabernacle and the temple were kept clean; to prepare supplies for the sanctuary, such as oil, incense, wine, etc. They had also the care of the sacred revenues, and after the time of David they conducted the sacred "music" of the temple service, Num. 8:5-22; Ch1 23:3-5, Ch1 23:24-32; Ch1 24:27-31.
Came and looked on him - It is remarked by critics, here, that the expression used does not denote, as in the case of the priest, that he accidentally saw him and took no farther notice of him, but that he came and looked on him more attentively, but still did nothing to relieve him. |

27 The sons [01121] of Merari [04847] by Jaaziah [03269]; Beno [01121], and Shoham [07719], and Zaccur [02139], and Ibri [05681].
28 Of Mahli [04249] came Eleazar [0499], who had no sons [01121].
29 Concerning Kish [07027]: the son [01121] of Kish [07027] was Jerahmeel [03396].
30 The sons [01121] also of Mushi [04187]; Mahli [04249], and Eder [05740], and Jerimoth [03406]. These were the sons [01121] of the Levites [03881] after the house [01004] of their fathers [01].
31 These likewise cast [05307] lots [01486] over against [05980] their brethren [0251] the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] in the presence [06440] of David [01732] the king [04428], and Zadok [06659], and Ahimelech [0288], and the chief [07218] of the fathers [01] of the priests [03548] and Levites [03881], even the principal [07218] fathers [01] over against [05980] their younger [06996] brethren [0251].
24 These were the sons [01121] of Levi [03878] after the house [01004] of their fathers [01]; even the chief [07218] of the fathers [01], as they were counted [06485] by number [04557] of names [08034] by their polls [01538], that did [06213] the work [04399] for the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], from the age [01121] of twenty [06242] years [08141] and upward [04605].
25 For David [01732] said [0559], The LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] hath given rest [05117] unto his people [05971], that they may dwell [07931] in Jerusalem [03389] for ever [05769]:
26 And also unto the Levites [03881]; they shall no more carry [05375] the tabernacle [04908], nor any vessels [03627] of it for the service [05656] thereof.
27 For by the last [0314] words [01697] of David [01732] the Levites [03881] were numbered [04557] from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and above [04605]:
28 Because their office [04612] was to wait [03027] on the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] for the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068], in the courts [02691], and in the chambers [03957], and in the purifying [02893] of all holy things [06944], and the work [04639] of the service [05656] of the house [01004] of God [0430];
29 Both for the shewbread [03899] [04635], and for the fine flour [05560] for meat offering [04503], and for the unleavened [04682] cakes [07550], and for that which is baked in the pan [04227], and for that which is fried [07246], and for all manner of measure [04884] and size [04060];
30 And to stand [05975] every morning [01242] to thank [03034] and praise [01984] the LORD [03068], and likewise at even [06153];
31 And to offer [05927] all burnt sacrifices [05930] unto the LORD [03068] in the sabbaths [07676], in the new moons [02320], and on the set feasts [04150], by number [04557], according to the order [04941] commanded unto them, continually [08548] before [06440] the LORD [03068]:
32 And that they should keep [08104] the charge [04931] of the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150], and the charge [04931] of the holy [06944] place, and the charge [04931] of the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] their brethren [0251], in the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068].
3 Now the Levites [03881] were numbered [05608] from the age [01121] of thirty [07970] years [08141] and upward [04605]: and their number [04557] by their polls [01538], man by man [01397], was thirty [07970] and eight [08083] thousand [0505].
4 Of which [0428], twenty [06242] and four [0702] thousand [0505] were to set forward [05329] the work [04399] of the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; and six [08337] thousand [0505] were officers [07860] and judges [08199]:
5 Moreover four [0702] thousand [0505] were porters [07778]; and four [0702] thousand [0505] praised [01984] the LORD [03068] with the instruments [03627] which I made [06213], said David, to praise [01984] therewith.
