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 ) .

29 They were responsible for the stacks of bread, the fine flour for grain offerings, the wafers of unleavened bread, the cakes made on the griddle, the offering mixed with oil, as well as all the measuring.

30 They were to be present every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and to do the same every evening.

31 Whenever entirely burned offerings were offered to the LORD for the sabbaths, the new moons, and festivals, a designated number were to serve in the LORD's presence continuously.

32 In this way they were to observe the instructions for the meeting tent, the instructions for the sanctuary, and the instructions for Aaron's family and relatives about serving in the LORD's temple.
