Numbers 8:13 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Book Notes

Numbers 8:13

11 and Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord like a ^awave offering from the children of Israel, that they may perform the work of the Lord.

12 ^aThen the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the young bulls, and you shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for the Levites.

13 “And you shall stand the Levites before Aaron and his sons, and then offer them like a wave offering to the Lord.

14 Thus you shall ^aseparate the Levites from among the children of Israel, and the Levites shall be ^bMine.

15 After that the Levites shall go in to service the tabernacle of meeting. So you shall cleanse them and ^aoffer them like a wave offering.

Numbers

NUMBERS. This book is so called because it contains an account of the enumeration and arrangement of the Israelites. The early part of it, from the first through the tenth chapters, appears to be a supplement to Leviticus, being occupied with relating the appointment of the Levites to the sacred offices. The journal of the march through the wilderness is then given as far as Numbers 21:20; after which the early incidents of the invasion are narrated. One direct quotation only from this book (Numbers 16:5) is made in the New Testament (II Timothy 2:19); but indirect references to it by the later sacred writers are very numerous.
