And they set the priests in their divisions, and the
Levites
in their courses, for the service of God which is at
Jerusalem
All in their proper classes and courses, to do the work of the
temple at Jerusalem in their turns:
as it is written in the book of Moses;
see ( Numbers
3:6 ) ( Numbers 8:11
Numbers
8:14 Numbers 8:15
) , from hence it is plain the Pentateuch was not written by
Ezra, as suspected by Spinosa F13, but by Moses; see the
argument of the book of Genesis. (See Gill on Genesis
1:1).
