Moses the man of God<\/B><\/I>] “Moses the prophet of God,” – T<\/I>.<\/P><\/p>\n i.e. They were accounted only as common Levites, and were not priests; which is mentioned partly to secure the priesthood within the bounds to which God had confined it, lest they should presume to invade it upon a confidence in the nobleness of their extraction; and partly for the honour of Moses, and the demonstration of his eminent piety and self-denial, who willingly left the government to Joshua, and the priesthood to Aaron, and was content to have his posterity reduced to a very private and mean condition. <\/P> <\/p>\n 14. concerning Moses<\/B>His sonswere ranked with the Levites generally, but not introduced into thedistinctive portion of the descendants of Levi, who were appointed tothe special functions of the priesthood. <\/P> 1Ch23:21-23<\/span>. OF MERARI.<\/P><\/p>\n Now concerning Moses the man of God<\/strong>,…. Raised up by him as a prophet, admitted to great familiarity with him, a lawgiver from him, and the ruler and guide of Israel under him through the wilderness:<\/p>\n his sons were named of the tribe of Levi<\/strong>; were only common Levites; Moses had no ambition to gratify; he sought no honour for his posterity; the civil government was left to Joshua, and the priesthood to Aaron.<\/p>\n (14) Now concerning Moses the man of God.<\/strong>Rather, Now Moses, the man of God.<\/em><\/p>\n His sons were named<\/strong> (or should be named) of the tribe of Levi.<\/strong>See Gen. 48:6<\/span><\/em> for the phrase to be called after (niqr al<\/em>).<\/em> Aarons sons were priests; but the sons of Moses, his brother, were reckoned as simple Levites, and therefore their houses are here enumerated (1Ch. 23:15-17<\/span>).<\/p>\n The man of<\/strong> God.<\/strong>See Deu. 33:1<\/span>; Psalms 90<\/span>; Jos. 14:6<\/span>. David is so called (2Ch. 8:14<\/span>; Neh. 12:24<\/span>). The meaning of the title is one charged with a Divine mission. Hence the prophets were so called in the times of the kings; and St. Paul applies the title to Timothy (1Ti. 6:11<\/span>).<\/p>\n 14<\/strong>. <\/strong> Moses his sons were named of the tribe of Levi <\/strong> Unlike his priestly brother Aaron, his sons were numbered with the ordinary Levites.<\/p>\n “Handfuls of Purpose,”<\/p>\n For All Gleaners<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n “Moses the man of God” 1Ch 23:14<\/span><\/em> .<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n A beautiful description of any man. A possible description of every man. A needful description of each man if he is to abide in his Father’s house for ever. Some men have attained eminence in godliness. No renown is to be compared with this, no influence is equal to that which arises from such recognition. When is a man a “man of God”? When he believes in God’s existence, when he is assured of God’s providence, when he has sunk his will in the divine purpose, when he lives and moves and has his being in God. “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.” Is there not something suggestive in this continuity of terms? Moses was the man of God, Jesus was the Son of God, and every believer in Christ may claim his own degree of that same sonship. Moses was faithful as a servant, Christ was faithful as a Son. Jesus Christ advances us in nomenclature; once he called us disciples, then he called us servants, then he called us friends: what he will call us when we meet him in heaven, life’s conflict over, who can tell? He will then find some new and dearer name for us, and by the bestowal of a new designation he will awaken still warmer love, and bring us to some higher estate of life. When God gives a name he expresses by it some growth in character. God’s names are not mere appellations, signs by which men are known one from another; they are characters, they are credentials, they are approbations. There is no higher title than to be a man of God, a slave of Christ, a temple of the Holy Ghost. At the time of the writing of this Book of Chronicles, Moses had long been dead, yet still he was remembered by his piety; he might have been called the legislator of Israel, the statesman of Israel, the greatest mind ever known in Israel: yet by none of these designations is he recorded, but by the simple yet grand indication that he was “the man of God.”<\/p>\n 1Ch 23:14 Now [concerning] Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.<\/p>\n Ver. 14. Now concerning Moses the man of God.<\/strong> ] Who was so familiar with God, and his ambassador to the people.

And here A Lapide hath this good note, Mira fuit Moysis resignatio et humilitas, &c.<\/em> Wonderful was the self-denial and humility of Moses in submitting to God’s appointment herein, that the principality should be transferred to Joshua, and that his sons should be reckoned not priests, but Levites only, though himself were “king in Jeshurun.”<\/p>\n the man of God.
