Wesley's Notes

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

9. they are wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel, &c.-The priests hold the place of God, and the Levites are the servants of God in the obedience they render to the priests.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:1-13 There was much work belonging to the priests' office, and there were now only Aaron and his two sons to do it; God appoints the Levites to attend them. Those whom God finds work for, he will find help for. The Levites were taken instead of the first-born. When He that made us, saves us, as the first-born of Israel were saved, we are laid under further obligations to serve him faithfully. God's right to us by redemption, confirms the right he has to us by creation.


Numbers 18:6 "Behold, I Myself have taken your fellow Levites from among the sons of Israel; they are a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD, to perform the service for the tent of meeting. (NASB ©1995)
