1 Chronicles 23:26

26 And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.

1 Chr. 23:26. Thus the Ceremonial Law was in part altered before Christ's time. The service of the Levites by the Law of Moses consisted much in carrying the tabernacle, and vessels and instruments of it (Num. 3 and 4); but when the Temple was built this service ceased, and was abrogated by David, there then ceasing to be occasion any longer for that work, and therefore David gave them new ordinances, and appointed them new work, which shows that the Ceremonial Law was alterable. If it may be altered in part, it may be altered in the whole; if David might abrogate some ordinances, Christ, the true David, might abrogate all (Jeremiah 3:16; Jeremiah 3:17, and Isaiah 56:3; Isaiah 56:4). In 2 Chronicles 23:18, the ordinances of David are mentioned as of parallel validity with those of Moses, as a rule for their public worship. See note on Isaiah 51:4.
