Commentary on Deuteronomy 18:6

Theological / Devotional

If a Levite come. The priests and Levites received 48 cities in Israel (Num. 35:7). Many would live at a distance from the sanctuary, but whenever they came they were to be granted the privilege of ministering according to their assigned family duty. The priesthood had not as yet been divided into courses (see 1 Chron. 23:6; 24:1; 2 Chron. 8:14).

Come. That is, intending to minister in the sanctuary.

The place. The sanctuary, His dwelling place (see ch. 12:5).
