Verse 16<\/span>. Moses numbered them<\/B><\/I>] Though Moses and Aaron conjointly numbered the twelve tribes<\/I>, yet Moses alone numbered the Levites; “for as the money with which the first-born of Israel, who exceeded the number of Levites, were redeemed, was to be paid to Aaron and his sons, Nu 3:48<\/span>, it was decent that he, whose advantage it was that the number of the first-born of Israel should exceed<\/I>, should not be authorized to take that number himself.” – Dodd<\/I>, from Bishop Kidder<\/I>.<\/P><\/p>\n And Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord<\/strong>,…. Took the account of all of a month old in the several houses and families of the tribe of Levi; though Moses is only here mentioned, yet it seems from Nu 3:39<\/span>; that Aaron was concerned with him in it; yea, in an after numbering of the Levites who were fit for business from thirty to fifty years of age, the chief of the children of Israel were assisting to him and Aaron, Nu 4:46<\/span>;<\/p>\n as he commanded<\/strong>; he was obedient to the divine will in all things, and so in this, though it was his own tribe and his own posterity, which in all successive ages were to be no other than ministering servants to the priests, and to have no inheritance in the land of Israel.<\/p>\n I do not detain the Reader, through this whole account of the numbering of the Levites, with any observation, in order to avoid the unnecessarily swelling the extent of our Commentary. But I cannot suffer the relation of the sum total to be closed, without calling upon the Reader to remark with me, that from this calculation, it appears the tribe of Levi was the smallest of ail the tribes of Israel. And yet this was peculiarly the LORD’S. And are they, indeed, what JESUS called them, a little flock? Luk 12:32<\/span> . LORD! grant, however few, that I may be found among the number, whom JESUS will own for his own, when he cometh to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe. 2Th 1:10<\/span> .<\/p>\n word.
