* offer them.
{Wehainaphta othom tenoophath,} literlly, as in ver. 11, "and
thou shalt wave them for a wave-offering;" manifestly in
allusion to the ancient sacrificial rite of waving the
sacrifices before the Lord; and it is probable, that some
significant action, analogous to the waving of the sacrifice,
was employed on this occasion; for the Levites were
considered as an offering to the Lord, to whose service they
were wholly dedicated. To this the apostle Paul manifestly
alludes, when, in writing to the Romans, he says, (ch. 12:1,)
"I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
