And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God which is at Jerusalem, etc.] 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 <040306>Numbers 3:6 8:11,14,15), from hence it is plain the Pentateuch was not written by Ezra, as suspected by Spinosa f71, but by Moses; see the argument of the book of Genesis. (See Gill on “<010101>Genesis 1:1”).
