Numbers 8:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 8:22

20 Thus Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel did to the Levites; according to all that the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so the children of Israel did to them.

21 ^aAnd the Levites purified themselves and washed their clothes; then Aaron presented them like a wave offering before the Lord, and Aaron made atonement for them to cleanse them.

22 ^aAfter that the Levites went in to do their work in the tabernacle of meeting before Aaron and his sons; ^bas the Lord commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

23 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

24 “This is what pertains to the Levites: ^aFrom twenty-five years old and above one may enter to perform service in the work of the tabernacle of meeting;

25 and at the age of fifty years they must cease performing this work, and shall work no more.

26 They may minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of meeting, ^ato attend to needs, but they themselves shall do no work. Thus you shall do to the Levites regarding their duties.”
