Numbers 3:16-39

I do not detain the Reader, through this whole account of the numbering of the Levites, with any observation, in order to avoid the unnecessarily swelling the extent of our Commentary. But I cannot suffer the relation of the sum total to be closed, without calling upon the Reader to remark with me, that from this calculation, it appears the tribe of Levi was the smallest of ail the tribes of Israel. And yet this was peculiarly the LORD'S. And are they, indeed, what JESUS called them, a little flock? Luke 12:32. LORD! grant, however few, that I may be found among the number, whom JESUS will own for his own, when he cometh to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe. 2 Thessalonians 1:10.
