7 וְאַתָּה וּבָנֶיךָ אִתְּךָ תִּשְׁמְרוּ אֶת־כְּהֻנַּתְכֶם לְכָל־דְּבַר הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וּלְמִבֵּית לַפָּרֹכֶת וַעֲבַדְתֶּם עֲבֹדַת מַתָּנָה אֶתֵּן אֶת־כְּהֻנַּתְכֶם וְהַזָּר הַקָּרֵב יוּמָת׃ ס


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 7. And it is the function of the celestial and spiritual kingdoms conjoined to minister from good in all worship, and in everything celestial which is not perceived by the inferior heavens; for it is the delight of good to serve; this delight is wholly from the Lord; and it is perfectly free; but he who worships the Lord from selfish motives only has no spiritual life.
