Summary

But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

Their brethren

They slaughtered the Passover animals, and while the priests sprinkled the blood received from their hand, the Levites skinned them.

Then after that the Levites may go in to serve the tent of meeting. But you shall cleanse them and present them as a wave offering;

And they shall thus attend to your obligation and the obligation of all the tent, but they shall not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary and the altar, or both they and you will die.

For the levites

since they could not celebrate it at that time, because the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient numbers, nor had the people been gathered to Jerusalem.

Upright

Since I know, O my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You.

My shield is with God,
Who saves the upright in heart.

I shall wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

For

judgment will again be righteous,

And all the upright in heart will follow it.
