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 Levi: "Let your Thummim and Urim belong to your loyal saint; The one you tested at Massah, whom you fought with at the Waters of Meribah,

9 Who said of his father and mother, 'I no longer recognize them.' He turned his back on his brothers and neglected his children, Because he was guarding your sayings and watching over your Covenant.

10 Let him teach your rules to Jacob and your Revelation to Israel, Let him keep the incense rising to your nostrils and the Whole-Burnt-Offerings on your Altar.

11 God bless his commitment, stamp your seal of approval on what he does; Disable the loins of those who defy him, make sure we've heard the last from those who hate him."

12 Benjamin: "God's beloved; God's permanent residence. Encircled by God all day long, within whom God is at home."
