Barnes' Notes on the Bible

enter in to perform the service - literally, as in the margin, "to war the warfare," or, as the same phrase in part is rendered, Numbers 4:3, "enter into the host to do the work." The language is military. The service of God is a sacred warfare (Numbers 8:24-25 marginal reading).


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

From thirty years old and upward, until fifty years old,

shalt thou number them,.... Take an account how many there are of that age, and so fit for service (a); See Gill on Numbers 4:3,

to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation; as the rest of the Levites; see Numbers 4:3;

(a) "ad militandum militiam", Montanus, Drusius.


Geneva Study Bible

From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old shalt thou number them; all that {n} enter in to perform the service, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation.

(n) Which were received into the company of those who ministered in the tabernacle of the congregation.


King James Translators' Notes

to perform...: Heb. to war the warfare


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

4:21-33 We have here the charge of the other two families of the Levites, which, though not so honourable as the first, yet was necessary, and to be done regularly. All the things were delivered them by name. It intimates the care God takes of his church and every member of it. The death of the saints is represented as the taking down of the tabernacle, 2Co 5:1, and the putting it off, 2Pe 1:14. All shall be raised up in the great day, when these vile bodies shall be made like the glorious body of Jesus Christ, and so shall be for ever with the Lord.


Numbers 4:3 Count all the men from thirty to fifty years of age who come to serve in the work in the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 4:22 "Take a census also of the Gershonites by their families and clans.
Numbers 4:24 "This is the service of the Gershonite clans as they work and carry burdens:
1 Chronicles 23:3 The Levites thirty years old or more were counted, and the total number of men was thirty-eight thousand.
1 Chronicles 23:24 These were the descendants of Levi by their families--the heads of families as they were registered under their names and counted individually, that is, the workers twenty years old or more who served in the temple of the LORD.
