And Moses and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel<\/strong>,…. The several parties concerned in the consecration of the Levites: these<\/p>\n did to the Levites according unto all that the Lord commanded Moses<\/strong>,<\/p>\n so did the children of Israel unto them<\/strong>: which, as Jarchi notes, is said to the praise of them that did it, and of what was done by them; everything was done that was ordered, and in the manner in which it was prescribed; Moses sprinkled, or ordered to be sprinkled, the water of purification on them, and set them before the tabernacle, and before the Lord; the children of Israel laid their hands on them, and Aaron waved them, offered the sacrifices for them.<\/p>\n Num 8:20-22<\/span> contain an account of the execution of the divine command.<\/p>\n Verses 20-22:<\/strong><\/p>\n Moses, Aaron, and all Israel carried out Jehovah’s instructions regarding the Levites precisely as He gave them.<\/p>\n “Were purified,” is literally, “purified themselves.” This does not refer to the ceremonial sprinkling of consecration. It refers to personal purification as God commanded, see Ps 24:3-5.<\/p>\n 20. And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation The Levites also are now inaugurated for the performance of their duties, but in their proper order, because their condition was inferior. Here it must be noted that the sons of Moses and their descendants were placed in this lower rank, and excluded from all expectation of the priesthood. Hence the ingratitude of the whole people, and especially of the tribe of Levi, was all the more base, when they presumptuously sought the honor from which Moses had shut out his children for ever. It was then no ordinary act of obedience in him to execute what God had appointed respecting the Levites. Aaron is here mentioned, because he consecrated the Levites in right of his priesthood. As regards the people, their consent is merely commended, because they agreed to what was the pleasure of God. But this virtue in them only increased their ignominy afterwards, when they sought to overthrow that divine decree of which they had approved. <\/p>\n Moses, Aaron and All the Congregation Do The Will of Yahweh ( Num 8:20<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> ).<\/strong> <\/p>\n Num 8:20<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n ‘Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the Levites. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children of Israel to them.’ <\/p>\n It is now stressed that both Moses and Aaron, and the whole people, obeyed Yahweh fully. They did to the Levites what Yahweh had commanded. From now on the Levites would see to the Dwellingplace, acting on behalf of the people and instead of their sons, and in return the people would ensure the liberal support of the Levites. <\/p>\n In Num 8:8<\/span> the whole congregation had been assembled for this purpose. Now they saw to its fulfilment. <\/p>\n All this was to be done with sacrifice. Yes! in everything, and by every service, JESUS, the great sacrifice both for sin, and for our acceptance is held forth. That sweet scripture of the apostle to the Hebrews, is a gracious instruction to us upon many occasions.
