1 Cronache 23:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 23:4

Of which twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work
of the house of the Lord
To prepare for the work of the priests by slaying the sacrifices, flaying them, cutting them in pieces, and washing them, and bringing them to the altar; 1000 of these served weekly in their turns:

and six thousand were officers and judges:
that acted as justices of the peace in the several parts of the country, heard causes and administered justice to the people, being trained up in and acquainted with the laws of God, civil as well as ecclesiastic; some were more properly judges, and others executioners of their sentence; see ( Deuteronomy 16:18 ) ( 17:9 ) .

2 E adunò tutti i capi d’Israele, e i sacerdoti, e i Leviti.

4 D’infra essi ventiquattromila doveano vacare all’opera della Casa del Signore; e seimila doveano esser giudici ed ufficiali

5 e quattromila, portinai; ed altri quattromila doveano lodare il Signore con gli strumenti che io ho fatti, disse Davide, per lodarlo.

6 E Davide li distribuì in ispartimenti, secondo i figliuoli di Levi: Gherson, Chehat, e Merari.
