Commentary on the Old Testament
C. F. Keil & F. Delitzsch · 19th-century historical commentary
Source: BibleWord.ai's local reference edition of this named work.
The oversight of the oil for the candlestick ( Exo 27:20), the incense ( Exo 30:34), the continual meat-offering ( Exo 29:40), and the anointing oil ( Exo 30:23), belonged to Eleazar as the head of all the Levites ( Num 3:32). He had also the oversight of the dwelling and all the holy things and furniture belonging to it; and, as a comparison of Num 4:28 and Num 4:33 clearly shows, of the services of the Kohathites also. Numbers 4:17
