We have an
account of Levi in this chapter.
The priests and Levites were more concerned than any other
Israelites, to preserve their descent clear, and to be able to
prove it; because all the honors and privileges of their
office depended upon their descent. Now, the Spirit of
God calls ministers to their work, without any limit as to the
families they came from; and then, as now, though believers
and ministers may be very useful to the church, none but our
great High Priest can make atonement for sin, nor can any be
accepted but through his atonement. |
