Numbers 8:19

Study

       

19 And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 19. Because charity in the Spiritual Church is the expression of celestial love and its truths, not only for the performance of uses in life and worship with man, but also in the removal of evil, and thus in the reconciliation of the natural with the spiritual man in every individual, in order that spiritual life may not be destroyed, and that external worship separated from internal may no longer prevail, through the destruction of remains.
