You don't want to give your life to God? Okay,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 27:1-34

Leviticus 27:2. A singular vow. When a man shall vow a vow; or as others contend, when a man shall vow to give the price of his life or labour to the Lord. The family of Aaron being appointed priests, and the whole tribe of Levi their assistants; persons desirous of aiding in the worship of the tabernacle, were but little encouraged.
