24These are the sons of Levi in their kindreds and families, princes by their courses, and the number of every head that did the works of the ministry of the house of the Lord from twenty years old and upward.Questi sono i figliuoli di Levi capi delle loro famiglie, e consorterie, noverati testa per testa, i quali esercitavano a turno le incumbenze del ministero della casa del Signore dai venti anni in poi.These be the children of Leui in their kinredes and families, princes by courses, and number of euerie head, that did the workes of ministerie of the house of our Lord from twentie yeares, and vpward.Hi filii Levi in cognationibus et familiis suis, principes per vices, et numerum capitum singulorum qui faciebant opera ministerii domus Domini, a viginti annis et supra. 25For David said: The Lord the God of Israel hath given rest to his people, and a habitation in Jerusalem for ever.Perocché disse Davidde: Il Signore Dio d'Israele ha dato requie al suo popolo, e ferma stanza in Gerusalemme in perpetuo.For Dauid sayd: Our Lord the God of Israel hath geuen rest to his people, and the habitation of Ierusalem for euer.Dixit enim David: Requiem dedit Dominus Deus Israël populo suo, et habitationem Jerusalem usque in æternum. 26And it shall not be the office of the Levites to carry any more the tabernacle, and all the vessels for the service thereof.E non avran più i Leviti l'ufficio di portare il tabernacolo, e tutti i vasi di servigio del medesimo.Neither shal it be the office of the Leuites to carie any more the tabernacle, and al the vessels therof to minister.Nec erit officii Levitarum ut ultra portent tabernaculum et omnia vasa ejus ad ministrandum. 27So according to the last precepts of David, the sons of Levi are to be numbered from twenty years old and upward.Or secondo le ultime disposizioni di David, il numero de' figliuoli di Levi dee contarsi dai venti anni in poi.According to the last preceptes also of Dauid the number of the children of Leui shalbe numbred from twentie yeares and vpward.Juxta præcepta quoque David novissima, supputabitur numerus filiorum Levi a viginti annis et supra. 28And they are to be under the hand of the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the Lord, in the porches, and in the chambers, and in the place of purification, and in the sanctuary, and in all the works of the ministry of the temple of the Lord.E saranno subordinati ai figliuoli d'Aaronne riguardo al culto della casa del Signore, sia nei vestiboli, sia nelle camere, e nel luogo della purificazione, e nel Santuario, e in tutte le funzioni del ministero del tempio del Signore.And they shal be vnder the hand of the sonnes of Aaron for the seruice of the house of our Lord, in the entrances, and in the chambers, and in the place of purification, and in the Sanctuarie, and in al the workes of the ministerie of the temple of our Lord.Et erunt sub manu filiorum Aaron in cultum domus Domini, in vestibulis, et in exedris, et in loco purificationis, et in sanctuario, et in universis operibus ministerii templi Domini.
29And the priests have the charge of the loaves of proposition, and of the sacrifice of fine flour, and of the unleavened cakes, and of the fryingpan, and of the roasting, and of every weight and measure.I sacerdoti poi hanno la soprintendenza dei pani della proposizione, de' sagrifizj di fior di farina, e delle offelle azzime, e de' frittumi, e di quello, che si arrostisce, e di tutti i pesi, e misure.And the Priestes, ouer the loaues of proposition, and for the sacrifice of floure, and for cakes and azimes, and the frying panne, and to rost, and ouer al weight and measure.Sacerdotes autem, super panes propositionis, et ad similæ sacrificium, et ad lagana azyma, et sartaginem, et ad torrendum, et super omne pondus atque mensuram. 30And the Levites are to stand in the morning to give thanks, and to sing praises to the Lord: and in like manner in the evening,E i Leviti si trovino la mattina a cantare le lodi del Signore: e parimente la sera,But the Leuites to stand in the morning to confesse, and sing to our Lord: and in like maner at euening,Levitæ vero ut stent mane ad confitendum et canendum Domino: similiterque ad vesperam, 31As well in the oblation of the holocausts of the Lord, as in the sabbaths and in the new moons, and the rest of the solemnities, according to the number and ceremonies prescribed for every thing, continually before the Lord.Tanto alle oblazioni degli olocausti del Signore, come ne' giorni di sabato, e delle calende, e nelle altre solennità nel numero prescritto, e osservando costantemente le cerimonie, che a ciascuna cosa convengono dinanzi al Signore.as wel in the oblation of the holocaustes of our Lord, as in the Sabbathes and Calendes, and the rest of the solemnities, according to the number, and ceremonies of euerie thing, continually before our Lord.tam in oblatione holocaustorum Domini, quam in sabbatis et calendis et solemnitatibus reliquis juxta numerum et cæremonias uniuscujusque rei, jugiter coram Domino. 32And let them keep the observances of the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ceremonies of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, that they may minister in the house of the Lord.E manterranno le regole del tabernacolo del testamento, e i riti del Santuario, e gli ordini de' figliuoli d'Aaronne loro fratelli, per fare le loro funzioni nella casa del Signore.And let them keepe the obseruations of the tabernacle of couenant, and the rite of the Sanctuarie, and the obseruance of the children of Aaron their brethren, that they minister in the house of our Lord.Et custodiant observationes tabernaculi fœderis, et ritum sanctuarii, et observationem filiorum Aaron fratrum suorum, ut ministrent in domo Domini.
23:1
Year of the World 2988.
Du Hamel
Full, satisfied, in the last year of his reign, and the 70th of his age. (Du Hamel)
Lucretius iii
Cur non ut plenus vitae conviva recedit? (Lucretius iii.)
Haydock
Yet this is controverted. (Houbigant) (Haydock)
23:2
Menochius
Princes, heads of families, or officers of the army, 1 Paralipomenon 25:1. (Menochius)
23:3
Numbered at the same time, when David caused his son to be crowned, and made these fresh regulations, ver. 27., and 1 Paralipomenon 26:31.
Upwards, according to the plan given by Moses. David afterwards ordered people of twenty years of age, to begin to serve in the tabernacle, as it was now fixed, and consequently the labours were diminished. This tended to augment the splendour of the religious worship, and to edify the people, who could not attend so constantly, in person.
23:4
Grotius
Overseers. Hebrew shoterim. Septuagint, "scribes." Others suppose "lictors and executioners," who attended the judges. (Grotius)
Menochius
These were functions from which the priests were exempted; (Calmet) so that the Levites alone are meant. (Menochius)
Du Hamel
Judges. They had to decide the causes of the people, 2 Paralipomenon xxix. (Du Hamel)
23:5
Haydock
David. Literally, "he." Septuagint, "they." Protestants, "which I made (said David) to praise therewith." (Haydock)
23:6
Tirinus
Into 24 courses, like the priests, that each class might serve twice a year for a whole week, 1 Paralipomenon 24:31. (Tirinus)
23:7
Menochius
Leedan, or Lebni, Numbers 3:18. (Menochius)
23:8
Chief, head of the rest; (Haydock) or all these three were chiefs, (Junius) no less than the sons of Semei, ver. 9.
23:9
Du Hamel
Semei; perhaps (Calmet) sons of Joel. (Du Hamel)
Menochius
The brother of Leedan had four sons, ver. 10. (Menochius)
23:10
Calmet
Ziza. Hebrew has "Zina," but reads "Ziza," ver. 11. (Calmet)
23:11
Tirinus
Children. All together were not more than the children of each of the preceding, so that they only formed one class. (Tirinus)
It would have been too burdensome for them to have performed the same service with those who were far more numerous: (Haydock) therefore the sons of Semei were joined with the family of Leedan: (Calmet) or rather Jaus and Baria went together, as one family.
Haydock
Counted. Hebrew, "in one class, according to their father's house." (Haydock)
23:13
Minister. Hebrew, "to sanctify the holy of holies."
His. Hebrew, "in his name," with solemnity, Numbers 6:23. The Levites might bless the name of the Lord.
23:14
23:15
Menochius
Eliezer. His being uncircumcised, had almost proved fatal to his father, Exodus 4:24. (Menochius)
Menochius
First. He might have other brothers, (Calmet) though the title may be given to an only son, ver. 17., and Matthew 1:25. Subuel was perhaps (Haydock) chief of a family, (Calmet) and was appointed over the treasury, 1 Paralipomenon 26:24. (Menochius)
23:24
Old. See ver. 3., and Numbers 4:3.
Menochius
And upwards; as long as they were able to serve. They were excused from carrying the tabernacle, etc., at fifty years of age, Numbers 8:25. (Abulensis) (Menochius)
Tirinus
To those who were turned of thirty, the higher offices were entrusted; while the Levites began at twenty, to exercise themselves in things of less consequence, under the direction of their elder brethren. (Tirinus)
Du Hamel
The kings might declare, by the advice of the Sanhedrim, what laws were of a temporary nature. (Grotius) (Du Hamel)
23:25
Haydock
Ever. They will not have to carry, the sacred vessels about, as formerly. (Haydock)
Tirinus
In order that they may not be idle, we must therefore provide them some other employment, ver. 28, etc. (Tirinus)
23:28
Calmet
Place. Hebrew, "purifying all that is holy;" (Haydock) keeping clean all that is used about the sacred ministry. (Calmet)
23:29
And the priests, etc. This is not found in Hebrew or Septuagint. The Levites might prepare these things; though the priests alone were to offer them in sacrifice. (Tirinus) (Chap. 9:32., and Leviticus 24:8.)
Menochius
Others think that (Calmet) the priests received flour from the people, and baked it. (Menochius)
But St. Jerome follows the tradition of the Jews, intimating that the priests sowed the corn, and did every thing about the loaves of proposition, Malachias 1:6.
Flour, Leviticus 2:1.
Cakes, Exodus 29:2.
Menochius
Roasting the first-fruits, Leviticus 2:14. (Menochius)
Tirinus
Measure. A standard was kept in the temple, (Exodus 30:13.; Calmet) to prevent any fraud. The Ediles at Rome performed the same office. (Tirinus)
Du Hamel
There were not two measures in the country, as that would have caused confusion. (Du Hamel)
23:30
And the Levites. This also is omitted in Hebrew, "and to stand," etc., as all the preceding offices pertained to the Levites, (Haydock) and priests were bound equally with them to praise the Lord.
23:31
Calmet
Lord. Music accompanied this service twice a day, as it did the sacrifices which were offered for the prince, or for the nation, Numbers 10:10. (Calmet)
Haydock
Rest. Hebrew, "the set festivals, by number, according to the order prescribed unto them continually," etc. (Haydock)
23:32
Menochius
Brethren. Let them follow the directions of the high priests, who are of the same tribe. (Menochius)
23:6
Aarons sonnes being consecrated Pricstes according to Gods ordinance. Leuit. 8 & the Le uites to do other offices about the tabernacle. Num. 3. &. 4 king Dauid (with Sadoc the high priest, and other chief men. ch. 24. •. 6.) disposed them by lottes which should serue by courses, to sing and play on instrumentes, as wel in the tabernacle now resting in Ierusalem, v. 26. as in the Temple when it should be built.
23:11
11. Jaus et Baria non habuerunt plurimos filios, q. d. Hi duo simul non habuerunt plures filios quam unus solus ex jam recensitis; quare hi duo unam tantum classem constituerunt, cum alii singuli singulas constituerint.
23:13
13. Separatusque est Aaron, q. d. A Deo per Moysen electus est Aaron, ut ipse ejusque posteri primogeniti essent summi Sacerdotes sive Pontifices; cæteri vero non primogeniti essent minores sacerdotes. Unde Pontifices soli ingrediebantur Sanctum sanctorum; cæteri vero sacerdotes adolebant thymiama in altari thymiamatis, quod erat in Sancto ante Sanctum sanctorum.
23:14
14. Moysi quoque hominis (amici) Dei, filii annumerati sunt in tribu Levi. — Mira fuit Moysis resignatio et humilitas, qua se submisit ordinationi Dei statuentis, ut principatum populi transferret in Josue, filios vero suos non sacerdotibus sed Levitis annumeraret. Nam sacerdotium a Deo addictum erat posteris Aaronis, qui erat frater senior Moysis.
23:24
24. Filii Levi a viginti annis et supra. — David bis numeravit Levitas, scilicet primo, vers. 3: «a triginta annis et supra;» secundo, hic «a viginti annis et supra.» Ratio fuit, quia primitus a Deo per Moysen statutum erat, ut Levitæ a trigesimo ætatis anno et deinceps servirent tabernaculo, eo quod eorum officium esset portare supellectilem Tabernaculi per desertum, in quo continue peregrinabantur, ad quod ætas valida et robusta, qualis est triginta annorum, requirebatur. David vero cessante hoc onere, ædificato jam templo, et Israele quiescente in terra sancta, statuit hoc versu ut a vigesimo anno numerentur, et servire incipiant; nimirum ut prioribus senioribus jam recensitis, et in suas ministrantium, janitorum, præpositorum, judicum, cantorum, classes distributis in rebus minoribus subserviant. Hanc rationem dat hic David vers. 26.
23:29
29. Sacerdotes autem. — Hæc verba non sunt in Hebræo nec in Græco; quare officia quæ hic subnectuntur, competunt tam Levitis quam sacerdotibus, quia scilicet Levitarum erat illa parare, sacerdotum vero parata jam Deo offerre in sacrificium. Et super omne pondus et mensuram, tum quia Sacerdotum et Levitarum erat omnia Deo offerenda mensurare, an scilicet justum pondus et mensuram haberent, tum quia eorum erat asservare justas rerum mensuras et pondera in templo, ut si per fraudem aliquorum in populo illa vitiarentur et minuerentur, vel augerentur, ad mensuras et pondera templi restituerentur et corrigerentur.

Nel trasporto dell'Arca al padiglione davidico (ibid. 15, 2) i L., che attendevano pure alla musica, erano vestiti come il re di un « manto di basso » (ibid. 15, 27). David organizzò i servizi delle varie sottotribù (ibid. 23, 6-23), sempre in subordinazione ai « figli di Arone » (ibid. 28; cf. 27), abbassando l'entrata in servizio ai 20 anni (ibid. 27).

David nella generale riforma delle istituzioni religiose precisò anche le funzioni dei L., che nel frattempo erano molto cresciuti di numero: nel censimento che il re fece da vecchio i L. risultarono 30.000 (I Par. 23, 28-31).
