19 `And I give the Levites gifts to Aaron and to his sons, from the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, and there is no plague among the sons of Israel in the sons of Israel's drawing 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.
