Others were put in charge
This phrase indicates a delegation of responsibility, a common practice in the organization of the Levitical duties. The Hebrew root for "put in charge" is "paqad," which implies oversight and careful management. This reflects the importance of stewardship in God's service, emphasizing that every task, no matter how seemingly mundane, is significant in the eyes of the Lord. It reminds us of the New Testament principle found in 1 Corinthians 4:2, where stewards are required to be faithful.

the furnishings
The furnishings of the sanctuary were not merely utilitarian objects but were imbued with spiritual significance. The Hebrew word "keli" can refer to vessels or implements, indicating items used in worship and sacrifice. These furnishings were crafted according to divine specifications given to Moses, symbolizing God's order and holiness. Their care was a sacred duty, reflecting the reverence due to God's dwelling place.

and all the other articles of the sanctuary
This phrase encompasses a wide range of items used in the temple service. The sanctuary, or "miqdash" in Hebrew, was the holy place where God's presence dwelt among His people. The articles within were consecrated for worship, and their maintenance was crucial for the proper conduct of religious rites. This highlights the meticulous nature of worship and the need for purity and preparation in approaching God.

as well as the fine flour
Fine flour, or "solet" in Hebrew, was a key ingredient in grain offerings, symbolizing the fruit of human labor offered to God. It represents the best of what we have, given in gratitude and devotion. The use of fine flour in offerings underscores the principle of giving God our first and finest, a theme echoed throughout Scripture.

wine
Wine, or "yayin" in Hebrew, was used in drink offerings and symbolized joy and celebration in the presence of God. It also prefigures the New Testament sacrament of communion, where wine represents the blood of Christ. The inclusion of wine in temple service points to the joy and fellowship found in a relationship with God.

oil
Oil, or "shemen" in Hebrew, was used for anointing and as a component in offerings. It symbolizes the Holy Spirit's presence and empowerment. Anointing with oil was a sign of consecration and blessing, setting apart individuals and objects for God's purposes. This reflects the anointing of believers by the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant.

frankincense
Frankincense, or "lebonah" in Hebrew, was a fragrant resin used in incense offerings. It represents prayer and worship ascending to God, as seen in Psalm 141:2. The use of frankincense in the sanctuary signifies the importance of a pleasing aroma in worship, symbolizing the purity and sincerity of our prayers.

and spices
Spices, or "besamim" in Hebrew, were used in the preparation of incense and anointing oils. They added fragrance and were part of the sacred formulae given by God. The inclusion of spices in temple service highlights the sensory aspect of worship, engaging the whole person in the act of devotion. It reminds us that worship is not only a spiritual act but also involves our physical senses, drawing us into a deeper experience of God's presence.

(29) Care of the ordinary vessels; that is, all those which were used in the daily service of the sanctuary ("vessels . . . instruments:" the same Hebrew term, kelim, vasa, ?????); as also supervision of the stores of flour, wine, oil, incense, and spicery, which were adjuncts of meat offerings and libations, and the holy unguents (Exodus 25:6).

Verses 29, 30. - The vessels and other things required for the daily sacrificial service are here spoken of; the verses receive abundant illustration from various Old Testament passages (Exodus 25:6; Exodus 30:23-38; Leviticus 2:1-7, etc.).
