SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:8
En aquel tiempo apartó el SEÑOR la tribu de Leví, para que llevase el arca del pacto del SEÑOR, para que estuviese delante del SEÑOR para servirle, y para bendecir en su nombre, hasta hoy.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi , etc.] Not at the time that Moses came down from the mount with the tables of the law, but some considerable time after, even after the tabernacle was erected; nor at the time that Aaron died, and Eleazar succeeded him, but many years before that; unless there was a fresh separation of them, or a renewal of it when Eleazar became high priest in his father’s stead; and so that being mentioned is the reason of its being repeated here; to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord ; even that into which the law, sometimes called the covenant, was put, and therefore here called the ark of the covenant: when this was carried from place to place, as it was especially in the wilderness, it was the business of the Levites to bear it, particularly the Kohathites; ( Numbers 3:31 10:21 1 Chronicles 6:1), to stand before the Lord to minister unto him ; that is, to his priests, in the tabernacle, and to keep and guard that: and to bless in his name unto this day ; not to bless the people, which was the work of the priest, but to sing praise in the name of the Lord, to give thanks unto him, and bless and praise him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Moses reminded the Israelites of God's great mercy to them notwithstanding their provocations. There were four things in and by which the Lord showed himself reconciled to Israel. God gave them his law. Thus God has intrusted us with Bibles, sabbaths, and sacraments as tokens of his presence and favour. God led them forward towar Canaan. He appointed a standing ministry among them for holy things And now, under the gospel, when the pouring forth of the Spirit is mor plentiful and powerful, the succession is kept up by the Spirit's wor on men's hearts, qualifying and making some willing for that work in every age. God accepted Moses as an advocate or intercessor for them and therefore appointed him to be their prince and leader. Moses was type of Christ, who ever lives, pleading for us, and has all power in heaven and in earth.
