申命记 18:2 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:1-8

Magistracy and ministry are two divine institutions of admirable use for the support and advancement of the kingdom of God among men. Laws concerning the former we had in the close of the foregoing chapter, directions are in this given concerning the latter. Land-marks are here set between the estates of the priests and those of the people. I. Care is taken that the priests entangle not themselves with the affairs of this life, nor enrich themselves with the wealth of this world; they have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:2

Therefore shall they have none inheritance among their brethren ,.... Neither of the field, nor of the vineyard, as the above Targum, because provision was made for them otherwise, and especially because the Lord is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them ; see Gill on Numbers 18:20 , which as it may be understood in a spiritual sense of their interest in God, as their covenant God, and of their enjoyment of him, and communion with him; so chiefly in a temporal sense of all those... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 18:2

The Lord is their inheritance - He is the portion of their souls; and as to their bodies, they shall live by the offerings of the Lord made by fire, i. e., the meat-offering, the sin-offering, and the trespass-offering; and whatever was the Lord's right, in these or other offerings, he gave to the priests. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:1-2

The Lord our inheritance. True of the priests and Levites, it is true also of each believer, that "the Lord is his inheritance" ( Psalms 16:5 , Psalms 16:6 ). He is in this respect a "priest unto God" ( 1 Peter 2:9 ; Revelation 1:6 ). I. THE MEANING OF THE EXPRESSION . Inheritance—equal to lot, part, share. Inheritance in families—the share which each receives of the patrimony. In the partition of Canaan, each tribe had its lot, its portion, its share. God's portion... read more

EXPOSITION RIGHTS OF THE PRIESTS AND THE LEVITES . THE ARTS OF DIVINATION OF THE HEATHEN TO BE AVOIDED . PROPHETS PROMISED WHOM ISRAEL MUST HEAR . THE FALSE AND PRESUMPTUOUS PROPHET TO BE PUT TO DEATH . After the ruling powers, the judges and the king, come the priests and the Levites. In regard to them Moses repeats here the law as before laid down (cf. Numbers 18:20 , Numbers 18:23 , Numbers 18:24 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:1-8

The support of the ministry the duty of God's people. In a note on a corresponding passage in Numbers 18:21 , Numbers 18:22 , Dr. Jameson remarks, "Neither the priests nor the Levites were to possess any allotments of land, but to depend entirely upon him who liberally provided for them out of his own portion; and this law was subservient to many important purposes, such as that, being exempted from the cares and labors of worldly business, they might be exclusively devoted to his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:1-8

God's provision for the priests and Levites. From the limitations of the monarchy, Moses next turns to the provision for the " priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi." They were not to receive any estate in Canaan beyond the suburbs of certain cities. They were to take " the Lord as their inheritance." We have already seen that Palestine was a good land for training up a spiritual people; it was a land where dependence upon God was constantly enforced. Bat among this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:1-8

The true priest is the highest type of man. God here lays down the lines along which men may rise to the dignity of the true priesthood. The ordinance did not secure the ideal reality. "The Law was weak through the flesh." Human choice and endeavor were requisite to attain to God's ideal priest. It is his privilege to receive from God, and to reveal to men. I. DIVINE CHOICE AND HUMAN DESIRE MUST COMBINE TO MAKE A REAL PRIEST . The man, though born a Levite, must... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:2-3

As he hath said unto them (cf. Numbers 18:20 ). The shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw ; i . e . the front leg, the two jaw-bones, and the rough stomach of ruminants, in which the digestion is completed. These were regarded as the choice parts of the animal, and were to be given to the priests in addition to the wave breast and heave leg of the peace offerings (Le 7:32, etc.; Numbers 18:11 ), which belonged to the firings of Jehovah, mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:1 .

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:1-22

Spiritual guides, good and bad (18:1-22)Further information is given concerning the support of priests (18:1-5; see notes on Numbers 18:8-20). If a Levite from the country sold his local possessions to move to the central place of worship, he could retain the money from the sale of his goods and still be financially supported by the people, the same as other Levites (6-8; see notes on Numbers 18:21-32).Israel’s law prohibited all forms of witchcraft and magic, whether cruel practices in which... read more
