"Wehainaphta othom tenoophath, literlly, as in Num 8:11, ""and thou shalt wave them for a wave-offering;"" manifestly in allusion to the ancient sacrificial rite of waving the sacrifices before the LORD; and it is probable, that some significant action, analogous to the waving of the sacrifice, was employed on this occasion; for the Levites were considered as an offering to the LORD, to whose service they were wholly dedicated. To this the apostle Paul manifestly alludes, when, in writing to the Romans, he says, (Num 12:1,) ""I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."" Num 8:11,21; Num 18:6; Rom 12:1; Rom 15:16" |
