Commentary

Commentary

And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed,.... That were redeemed this way, and not by Levites, as in Num 3:49 , but by money, paying five sheke ls a head: unto Aaron and his sons; to whom the Levites were given; and this money, as a recompence for the deficiency of the number of them, to answer to the firstborn exchanged for them: according to the word of the Lord; Num 3:48 , as the Lord commanded Moses; so did he, being a faithful servant in all things in the house of God; he did not convert it to his own use, or to any other use than to what God had appointed it.
