1 Cronache 9:31 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 9:31

And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of
Shallum the Korahite
Of whom see ( 1 Chronicles 9:19 ) ,

had the set office over the things that were made in the pans;
the meat offerings that were made in pans; and so had the care of the fine flour, oil, and frankincense used in them, which he delivered to the priests when necessary, see ( Leviticus 2:5 ) , the Septuagint version is,

``over the works of the sacrifice of the pan of the high priest;''

as if it respected peculiarly his meat offering, ( Leviticus 6:20 Leviticus 6:21 ) , we read in the Misnah ^F25 of the offerings of the high priest, as expressed by this word, which it signifies, and not pans, but what was fried in them {z}; and Ben Melech on the place says, this man was an high priest who offered every day the tenth part of an ephah in a pan, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening, according to ( Leviticus 6:20 ) , but that cannot be, for certain it is he was a Levite, as the text expresses it.

29 Altri aveano l’incarico di custodire gli utensili, tutti i vasi sacri, il fior di farina, il vino, l’olio, l’incenso e gli aromi.

30 Quelli che preparavano i profumi aromatici erano figliuoli di sacerdoti.

31 Mattithia, uno dei Leviti, primogenito di Shallum il Korahita, avea l’ufficio di badare alle cose che si dovean cuocere sulla gratella.

32 E alcuni dei loro fratelli, tra i Kehathiti, erano incaricati di preparare per ogni sabato i pani della presentazione.

33 Tali sono i cantori, capi delle famiglie levitiche che dimoravano nelle camere del tempio ed erano esenti da ogni altro servizio, perché l’ufficio loro li teneva occupati giorno e notte.
