See Num 1:53<\/span>; 16:9<\/span>. <\/P> Before the tabernacle, <\/B>emphatically; not within the tabernacle, for the care of these things within the holy place was appropriated to the priests, as the care of the most holy place was peculiar to the high priest. <\/P> <\/p>\n And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation<\/strong>,…. The charge of Aaron and of all the people of Israel, which was to secure the sanctuary from being polluted or plundered: this the Levites were to be employed about, and thereby ease the high priest and the other priests, and the people, of what otherwise would have been incumbent on them:<\/p>\n before the tabernacle of the congregation<\/strong>; not within it, neither in the holy place, nor in the most holy place, where they might not enter, to do any service peculiar thereunto, but at the door of the tabernacle, and in the court of it, and in the rooms and chambers in it: and do the service of the tabernacle; not to offer sacrifices on the altar of the burnt offering, which stood in the court, and much less to burn incense on the altar of incense, and to him the lamps, and set on the shewbread in the holy place; and still less to enter into the most holy place, and do there what was to be done on the day of atonement; but to do all that is before observed, and to bring the people’s offerings to the priest, and to assist in slaying them; and to keep all profane and polluted persons out of it, the tabernacle, as we find in later times; they were porters at it, and some of them were singers in it, and had the care of various things belonging to it: see 1Ch 9:14<\/span>.<\/p>\n (7) And they shall keep his charge.<\/strong>The word rendered charge <\/em>may mean the directions which the Levites should receive from Aaron (comp. Gen. 26:5<\/span>); oras seems more probable from the use of the same word in this and the following verse with reference to the congregationit may refer to the charge which was laid upon Aaron and upon the whole congregation in matters pertaining to the public worship of God.<\/p>\n 7<\/strong>. <\/strong> Charge of the congregation <\/strong> As the Levites were subordinated to Aaron, it was proper that he should address them concerning their duties. As they were substituted for the firstborn of the people, the whole people were interested in their faithful discharge of their duties, and might with propriety be said to charge the Levitical body with these duties, which they themselves in the persons of their firstborn would have performed if the Levites had not been consecrated. In Num 8:11<\/span> Aaron is directed to “offer the Levites before the Lord for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord.” The Hebrew for bring near<\/strong>, in Num 3:6<\/span>, is a sacrificial word, used when an offering is presented to Jehovah.<\/p>\n Num 3:7<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>They shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> This verse is better rendered in our old version, and they shall take the charge with him, even the charge of the whole congregation, <\/em>before the tabernacle of the congregation, <\/em>&c. <\/p>\n tabernacle = tent.
