the sons of Levi: Num 10:17, Num 10:21 after the house: Num 1:4, Num 2:32, Num 3:15, Num 3:20, 4:34-49 by their polls: Num 1:2, Num 1:18, Num 1:22, Num 3:47 from the age: At first David appointed the Levites to serve from thirty years old and upwards; but considering, probably, that the temple which was about to be built, with its courts, chambers, etc., would require a more numerous ministry, he fixed this period, by this subsequent regulation, at twenty years and upwards. In the time of Moses, the age was from thirty years to fifty. here this latter period is not mentioned, probably because the service was not so laborious now; for the ark being fixed, they had no longer any burdens to carry; and therefore even an old man might continue to serve. See note on Num 8:24. twenty: Ch1 23:3, Ch1 23:27; Num 1:3, Num 4:3, Num 8:24; Ezr 3:8 1 Chronicles 23:25
