  1  The charge of the priests and Levites.
 8  The priests' portion.
21  The Levites' portion.
25  The heave offering to the priests out of the Levites'
    portion.


VERSE 1
- Aaron, Thou.
   * Nu 17:3,7,13 Heb 4:15
- shall bear.
  To counterbalance the high honor conferred on Aaron and his
  family, and to allay the fears and abate the envy of the
  people, it is here declared, that the priest must bear the
  blame of everything which was not properly conducted in the
  sanctuary.

   * :22; 14:34 Ex 28:38 Le 22:9 Isa 53:6,11 Eze 3:18,19
   * Ac 20:26,27 Heb 13:17 1Pe 2:24


VERSE 2 
 - joined unto thee.
  There is a fine paronomasia in the original.  Levi is desired
  from {lawah,} to join, couple, associate; hence Moses says,
  the Levites {yillawoo,} "shall be joined," or associated, with
  the priests:  they shall conjointly perform the sacred office,
  but the priests shall be principal, the Levites their
  associates or assistants.

- the firstborn.
   * Ex 13:13; 34:20 Le 27:27


VERSE 16 
 - shalt thou redeem.
  Redemption of the firstborn is one of the rites which are
  still practised among the Jews.  According to Leo of Modena,
  it is performed in the following manner:--When the child is
  thirty days old, the father sends for one of the descendants
  of Aaron:  several persons being assembled on the occasion,
  the father brings a cup, containing several pieces of gold and
  silver coin.  The priest then takes the child into his arms,
  and addressing himself to the mother, he says, "Is this thy
  son?"  Mother.  "Yes."  Priest.  "Hast thou never had another
  child, male or female, a miscarriage, or untimely birth?"
  Mother.  "No."  Priest.  "This being the case, this child, as
  firstborn, belongs to me."  Then turning to the father, he
  says, "If it be thy desire to have this child, thou must
  redeem it."  Father.  "I present thee with this gold and
  silver for this purpose."  Priest.  "Thou dost wish,
  therefore, to redeem this child?"  Father.  "I do wish so to
  do."  The priest then turning himself to the assembly, says,
  "Very well:  this child, as first-born, is mine; as it is
  written in Bemidbar, (ch. 16 18:16,) Thou shalt redeem the
  first-born of a month old for five shekels; but I shall
  content myself with this in exchange."  He then takes two gold
  crowns, or thereabouts, and returns the child to his parents.

VERSE 20 
 - Thou shalt have.
  The principal part of what was offered to God was the portion
  of the priests; who had no inheritance of land in Israel.  The
  Rabbins say, 24 gifts were given to the priests; all of which
  are expressed in the law.  Eight were only eaten in the
  sanctuary:  1.  The flesh of the sin-offering.  (Le 6:25, 26.)
  2.  The flesh of the trespass-offering.  (Le 7:1, 6.) 3.  The
  peace-offering of the congregation.  (Le 23:19, 20.) 4.  The
  remainder of the sheaf.  ( Le 23:10.)  5.  The remnants of the
  meat-offerings.  (Le 6:16.)  6.  The two loaves.  (Le 23:17.)
  7.  The shew-bread.  (Le 24:9.)  8.  The log of oil offered by
  the leper.  (Le 14:10.)  Five they ate only at Jerusalem:  1.
  The breast and shoulder of the peace-offerings.  (Le 7:31-34.)
  2.  The heave-offering of confession.  (Le 7:12-14.)  3.  The
  heave-offering of the Nazarite's ram.  (Le 6:17-20.)  4.  The
  firstling.  (ch.  15 18:15.)  5.  The first-fruits.  (13 18:13.)
  Five were due to them only in the land of Israel:  1.  The
  heave-offering of first-fruits.  (ver. 12.)  2.  Of the tithe.
  (ver. 28.)  3.  The cake.  (ch. 20 15:20.)  4.  The first of the
  fleece.  (De 18:4.)  5.  The field of possession.  (ch. 35.)
  Five were due both within and without the land:  1.  The gifts
  of slain beasts.  (De 18:3.)  2.  The redemption of the
  first-born.  (ver. 15.)  3.  The lamb for a firstling ass.
  (Ex 4:20.)  4.  That taken by violence from a stranger.  (ch.
  8 5:8.)  5.  All devoted things.  One was from the sanctuary,
  the skins, etc.  (Le 7:8.)
