He gives him patterns, gold and silver, etc for the divisions of the priests and the Levites This phrase highlights the organized structure within the religious community of Israel. The "divisions" refer to the systematic arrangement of duties among the priests and Levites, as established by King David. The Hebrew word for "divisions" (מַחְלְקוֹת, machleqot) implies a sense of order and purpose. Historically, this organization ensured that the worship and sacrifices in the temple were conducted with reverence and efficiency. The priests, descendants of Aaron, and the Levites, from the tribe of Levi, were set apart for sacred duties, emphasizing the importance of holiness and dedication in serving God. for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD and for all the articles of service in the house of the LORD For all the work of the service.--Such as cooking the flesh which fell to the priests from the sacrifices, and baking the shewbread. "The vessels of service," that is, the utensils used by the Levites in the work just specified, would naturally be kept in the cells. The Syriac version paraphrases 1Chronicles 28:11-13 as follows:--"And David gave to Solomon his son the likeness of the porch, and the measure of the house and of the colonnade (k?sost?ron = ??????), and of the upper chambers; and of the inner cloisters ('est?we=?????), and of the outer cloisters, and of the upper and of the lower (storeys); and of the treasury (beth gazz?), and of the house of service of the Lord's house, and of the kitchens, and of the house of the water-carriers (or cupbearers), and of the house of lampmen." The last words are interesting, as explaining the nature of "the work of the service" (1Chronicles 28:13). Verse 13. - This verse either continues the subject of the giving of the patterns, which will read rather harshly, as preceding the courses of the priests and the Levites, and could only mean directions or instructions for their interchange, etc.; or it may continue the subject of the "chambers round about" "for the treasures of the house of God," etc., also for the convenience "of the courses of the priests," etc., and "for all the work," etc., and for keeping "all the vessels of service," etc. Bertheau and Keil somewhat scout the former supposition, and adhere to the latter.Parallel Commentaries ...
