Heritage and Legacy The priestly duties were passed down through generations, emphasizing the importance of spiritual heritage and the responsibility to pass on faith to future generations. Role of Leadership in Worship Aaron's leadership set a precedent for the priestly service. Spiritual leaders today are called to guide worship and service according to biblical principles. God's Sovereignty in Worship The phrase "as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded" underscores God's ultimate authority over worship practices, reminding us to seek His will in all aspects of our spiritual lives.(19) These were the orderings of them in their service.--Better, These were their classes for their service. According to their manner, under Aaron.--Better, according to their rule (or order; Vulg., ritum), ordained through Aaron, &c. (See Numbers 2:1; Numbers 4:1; Numbers 4:17.) All the sacerdotal functions were fixed, and each of the twenty-four classes undertook the weekly discharge of them in rotation with the rest, beginning on the Sabbath (2Kings 11:9; 2Chronicles 23:8). Josephus (Ant. vii. 14, 7) declares that the arrangements of David lasted down to his own day. . . . Verse 19. - The order has been thus given of the twenty-four classes or courses of the priests. Each course served a week from the seventh day to the seventh (2 Kings 11:9; 2 Chronicles 23:8). An interesting allusion to this order of courses is tacitly made in Ezekiel 8:16-18, where the twenty-fifth idolater may be supposed to be the high priest. Some have, on very insufficient grounds, supposed that this "ordering" of courses was not really the institution of David, but attributed to him after the Exile for the sake of the authority of his name. In Nehemiah 12:1-7, moreover, the names do not appear as even twenty-four, but twenty-two - deficient by two! - a thing most easily to be accounted for. In addition to the direct scriptural witness on this subject, Josephus's ('Ant.,' 7:14) testimony confirms the account of our present chapter, while Movers (in 'Chronik.,' 279) and Dehler (in Herzog's 'R.E.,' 12:185) effectively combat the positions of De Wette and Gramberg, and of Herzberg, in his 'History of the People of Israel.'Parallel Commentaries ...
