1; How the lamps are to be lighted.
5; The consecration of the Levites.
23; The age and time of their service.
When this was spoken, says Bp. Patrick, is not certain. If
Moses went into the tabernacle immediately after the princes
had offered, (ch. 7:89,) it may be thought he then spake
these things unto him; but both this and what follows,
concerning the Levites, seem rather to have been delivered
after the order for giving them to the priests, and
appointing their several charges. (ch. 3; 4.) But some
other things intervening, which depended upon what had been
ordered respecting their camp, and that of the Israelites,
Moses omits this until he had stated them, and some other
matters which he had received from God. (See ch. 7:11.)
