Au. Ver.—89 And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him [that is, God], then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims and he spake unto him.

Ged., Booth. Now whenever Moses went into the congregation-tabernacle [Ged., convention tent; see notes on Exod. xxvii. 21] to speak with Jehovah, then he heard the voice of one speaking to him from off the mercy-seat [Ged., lid; see notes on Exod. xxv. 17] which was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubs; for there he spoke with him.

So the candlestick is here put for the bulk or shaft of the candlestick, as Exod. xxv. 34, 35, and the lamps, when they were lighted, were put into the branches of the candlestick, and taken out upon occasion. Thus the meaning is, that all the lamps were to be lighted on that part which was towards the middle, looking that way whence they had their light; for the middle lamp was lighted with the fire of the altar, and from that the other lamps received light. But against this sense it is objected, that the lamps could not be otherwise ordered, but that they must give light round about the candlestick, and therefore that sense seems to make this direction idle and frivolous. Or, 2. On that part which is before the Rosen.-89 in 7, Ad loquendum cum co, candlestick, Heb., over against the face of ut consuleret eum, sc. Jovam.

And thus this verse may be translated exactly out of the Hebrew, "When thou settest up the lamps, the seven lamps shall shine before the face of the candlestick," i. e., enlighten all the room that is opposite to it; for there were no windows in the sanctuary, and therefore these lamps were lighted.

Bishop Patrick.-Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord.] The Hebrew words are more significant; Aaron shall wave the Levites before the Lord, for a waveoffering," &c. I have often observed before, that this waving or agitation to and fro before the altar (of which, see Exodus xxix. 21), was a solemn consecration of a thing to God, as a sacrifice: and therefore Au.

That they may execute the service of the Lord.] Or, as it is more significantly in the margin, "that they may be to execute," &c. Which expresses the intention of this "waving them before the Lord," that, being wholly given up to him, they might become meet to execute that service to which he appointed them at his house.

Bp. Patrick.-Aaron offered them as an offering.] Or rather, "waved them a waveoffering," &c., as I observed, ver. 11. To which may be added, that it is likely some of the Levites were thus waved in the name of all the rest for there being two-andtwenty thousand of them (ch. iii. 39), one cannot well conceive how they should be every one thus offered.
