Deuteronomy 18:7 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 18:7

And he shall minister in the name of the Lord his God
The Targum of Jonathan is,

``he shall minister in the name of the Word of the Lord his God;''

in the name of Christ, as a type of him, as every priest and every sacrifice were: he was to be allowed to officiate, though it was not his course or turn:

as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the Lord;
daily offering the same sacrifices, and whatsoever are brought unto them; who might be said to stand before the Lord, because they stood at the altar of the Lord, and offered the sacrifices of the people to him; and a country Levite or priest was to be admitted to do the same thing at Jerusalem, and in the temple there, as they did; and this shows that a priest is meant by the Levite.

6 A Levite from any of your cities in Israel may come from where he has been living to the place the LORD will choose. He may come as often as he wants

7 and may serve in the name of the LORD his God like all the other Levites who do their work in the LORD's presence.

8 If he does, he'll get the same amount of food as they do, in addition to what he gets from selling his family's goods.

9 When you come to the land that the LORD your God is giving you, never learn the disgusting practices of those nations.
