appointment.
Heb. mouth.The Levites were under the command of the priests.
Eleazar exercised this authority in general, as next in succession to Aaron:
and he in particular was placed over the Kohathites; while Ithamar, his younger brother, commanded the Gershonites and Merarites.
(ver. 33.)
Luke 1:70• 70As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: (Luke 1:70)
;
1 Cor. 11:2• 2Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you. (1 Cor. 11:2)
• The Gershonites had heavier things to carry, the curtains; and the Merarites had the woodwork, and pillars, and sockets; how heavy they were! Well, God knew that, and He who helped those who carried on their shoulders, made provision for those who had the heavier weights to carry. If we fail, it is our own fault: there is never anything lacking on God’s side. He has given to us “everything that pertains to life and godliness.”...So in chapters 7:1-9 (it is anticipating, of course), we have that provision. The Levites were given to the priests, and six wagons were given to the Levites. There were no wagons for the Kohathites. (“Chapter 4.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
