Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - They shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation. Septuagint, "shall keep his watches, and the watches of the children of Israel." The Levites were to be the servants of Aaron on the one side, and of the whole congregation on the other, in the performance of their religious duties. The complicated ceremonial now prescribed and set in use could not possibly be carried out by priests or people without the assistance of a large number of persons trained and devoted to the work. Compare St. Paul's words to the Corinthians (2 Corinthians 4:5), "Ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) And they shall keep his charge.--The word rendered charge may mean the directions which the Levites should receive from Aaron (comp. Genesis 26:5); or--as seems more probable from the use of the same word in this and the following verse with reference to the congregation--it may refer to the charge which was laid upon Aaron and upon the whole congregation in matters pertaining to the public worship of God.
