1 Chronicles 23:31 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 23:31

And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the Lord
This was the work of the priests to offer such sacrifices, and not the Levites; but the meaning is, according to the Targum, and so Kimchi, that these not only sung the praises of God morning and evening, but at all times when burnt offerings were offered to the Lord; besides, some of them helped the priests at such times in slaying the sacrifices, and bringing them to the altar: and especially their service was requisite

in the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number;
because, besides the daily sacrifices, there were additional offerings at those times:

according to the order commanded unto them continually before the Lord;
see ( Numbers 28:1-29:40 ) .

1 Chronicles 23:31 In-Context

29 and for the loaves to be set in rows, and for the fine flour for the oblation, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [what is baked in] the pan, and for that which is saturated [with oil], and for all measure of capacity and size;

30 and to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise at even;

31 and for all burnt-offerings offered up to Jehovah on the sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the ordinance concerning them, continually, before Jehovah;

32 and they kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of Jehovah.
