Theological / Devotional

Outward business. This external work of the Levites consisted of carrying responsibilities as “officers and judges.” According to ch. 23:4, 6,000 Levites were set apart for these duties. Already in the days of Moses priests were assigned duties as judges (Deut. 17:9–12; 19:17; 21:5).
