9 הַמְעַט םִכֶּם כִּי־הִבְדִּיל אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶתְכֶם מֵעֲדַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְהַקְרִיב אֶתְכֶם אֵלָיו לַעֲבֹד אֶת־עֲבֹדַת מִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה וְלַעֲמֹד לִפְנֵי הָעֵדָה לְשָׁרְתָם׃


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 9. ...That it is of the greatest importance to understand that charity, and not faith alone, is that which particularly distinguishes the man of the Spiritual Church, who from Divine Truth engages in conflict against evil; and that gives conjunction with the Lord. For it is the function of the spiritual man to minister to the celestial, and at the same time to the natural man, as a medium of conjunction.
