Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
back to:
1 Chronicles
Book: 1 Chronicles
Chapter: 6
Overview:
Genealogies.
- We have an account of
Levi in this
Chapter. The priests and
Levites were more concerned than any other Israelites, to
preserve their descent clear, and to be able to prove it;
because all the honours and privileges of their office depended
upon their descent. Now, the
Spirit of
God calls ministers to
their work, without any limit as to the families they came from;
and then, as now, though believers and ministers may be very
useful to the
Church, none but our great High
Priest can make
Atonement for
Sin, nor can any be accepted but through his
Atonement.
