Deuteronomy 33:10 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 33:10

They shall teach Jacob thy statutes, and Israel thy law
The priests and Levites, being dispersed among each of the tribes, having cities in them allotted to them, taught the people the laws, statutes, and ordinances of the Lord, moral, civil, and ceremonial, see ( Malachi 2:6 Malachi 2:7 ) ;

they shall put incense before thee;
upon the altar of incense, which none but a priest might do, as the case of Uzziah shows; and which, the Jews say ^F11, he might do but once: the same priest might not offer incense twice; a new priest was always employed: in this they, were typical of Christ, the only Intercessor who is always at the golden altar, to offer up the prayers of all saints with his much incense, ( Revelation 8:3 Revelation 8:4 ) ;

and whole burnt offerings upon thine altar;
the altar of burnt offering, typical of Christ, who is both altar, sacrifice, and priest.

Deuteronomy 33:10 In-Context

8 Of Levi he said, Your Tummim and your Urim are with your godly one, Whom you did prove at Massah, With whom you did strive at the waters of Merivah;

9 Who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him; Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, Nor knew he his own children: For they have observed your word, Keep your covenant.

10 They shall teach Ya`akov your ordinances, Yisra'el your law: They shall put incense before you, Whole burnt offering on your altar.

11 Bless, LORD, his substance, Accept the work of his hands: Smite through the loins of those who rise up against him, Of those who hate him, that they not rise again.

12 Of Binyamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; He covers him all the day long, He dwells between his shoulders.
