   The words, {kol âdath,} which are rendered "the whole
   assembly," often signify all the elders, or principal persons
   in the several tribes.  (ch. 15:4; 25:7; 35:12.)  And they
   cannot well have any other sense here; for it would be
   impossible for all the children of Israel to put their hands
   on the Levites, as stated in the next verse.

   Not that they were actually waved, but they were presented to
   God, as the God of heaven, and the Lord of the whole earth,
   as the wave offerings were; and in calling them
   wave-offerings, it was intimated to them that they must move
   to and fro with readiness in the business of their
   profession.

   {Wehainaphta othom tenoophath,} literlly, as in ver. 11, "and
   thou shalt wave them for a wave-offering;" manifestly in
   allusion to the ancient sacrificial rite of waving the
   sacrifices before the Lord; and it is probable, that some
   significant action, analogous to the waving of the sacrifice,
   was employed on this occasion; for the Levites were
   considered as an offering to the Lord, to whose service they
   were wholly dedicated.  To this the apostle Paul manifestly
   alludes, when, in writing to the Romans, he says, (ch. 12:1,)
   "I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
   that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
   acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."

   {Nethunim, nethunim,} "given; given;" The word being
   repeated, "because," says Bp.  Patrick, "the children of
   Israel had devoted them to him, by laying their hands upon
   them, (ver. 10,) and Aaron had waved them as a wave-offering
   to the Lord."  (ver. 11.)

   Houbigant, on the authority of the Samaritan, reads, "instead

   In ch. 4:3, the Levites are appointed to the service of the
   tabernacle at the age of 30 years; and in 1 Ch 23:24, they
   are ordered to commence their work at 20 years of age.  In
   order to reconcile this apparent discrepancy, it is to be
   observed, 1.  At the time of which Moses speaks in ch. 4:3,
   the Levitical service was exceedingly severe, and
   consequently required full grown, robust men, to perform it;
   the age of 30 was therefore appointed as the period for
   commencing this service, the weightier part of which was
   probably there intended.  2.  In this place God seems to
   speak of the service in a general way:  hence the age of 25
   is fixed.  3.  In David's time, and afterwards, in the fixed
   tabernacle and temple, the laboriousness of the service no
   longer existed, and hence 20 years was the age appointed.

 # 4:3,23 1Ch 23:3,24-27 28:12,13
 * wait upon.  Heb. war the warfare of, etc.
 # 1Co 9:7 2Co 10:4 1Ti 1:18 6:12 2Ti 2:3-5
11922
 * cease waiting upon the service thereof.  Heb. return from the
   warfare of the service.
 # 4:23 2Ti 4:7
   The Levites, above fifty years of age, might superintend and
   assist their junior brethren in the ordinary offices, and
   give them and the people counsel and instruction; but they
   were exempted from carrying the tabernacle and from other
   laborious services.  It is remarkable, that no law was made
   concerning the age at which the priests should begin to
   officiate, and though various blemishes disqualified them for
   the service of the sanctuary, yet they continued their
   ministrations till death, if capable.  On the other hand,
   nothing is said concerning any bodily defects or blemishes
   disqualifying the Levites; but the time of their service is
   expressly settled.  Their work was far more laborious than
   that of the priests; it is therefore likely that the priests
   would not begin very early to officiate; and the wisdom and
   experience of age would increase, rather than diminish, their
   fitness for the sacred duties of their office.

   The fourteen first verses of this chapter evidently refer to
   a time previous to the commencement of this book; but as
   there is no evidence of a transposition, it is better to
   conclude with Houbigant, that "it is enough to know, that
   these books contain an account of things transacted in the
   days of Moses, though not in their regular or chronological
   order."

   This cloud not only enlightened the Israelites, but also
   protected them, and was a continual pledge of God's presence
   and protection.  To this manifestation of the Divine glory,
   the prophet Isaiah alludes, when he says, (Isa 4:5,) "The
   Lord will create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and
   upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the
   shining of a flaming fire by night."  God is the director,
   protector, and glory of his church.

   Some of the Levites may have been appointed to watch the
   moving of the pillar, and to give timely notice to the camp
   of its beginning to stir; and this is called "keeping the
   charge of the Lord." It is uncomfortable staying when God is
   departed, but very safe and pleasant going, when we see God
   go before us, and resting where he appoints us to rest.

   The necessity of such instruments will at once appear, when
   the amazing extent of this army is considered.  There were
   various kinds of trumpets among the ancients, of different
   forms and materials, as Eustathius shews on Homer, where he
   mentions six; the second of which was [stroggule,] turned
   up round, like a ram's horn; which he says the Egyptians used
   (from being invented by Osiris) when they assembled the
   people to their sacrifices.  But in opposition to that form,
   Moses commands these to be made long, in the shape of those
   used at present.  So Josephus informs us, who says they were
   near a cubit long; the tube of the thickness of a common pipe
   or flute; the mouth no wider than just to admit blowing into
   them; and their ends wide like those of a modern trumpet.
