UNto the Levites] By Levites here must be understood the whole Tribe of Levi, as comprehending also the Priests; because they had none inheritance assigned them in the Land of Canaan; and they had none inheritance distinct and apart from the rest of the Tribes, because they were to be dispersed throughout the Land for instruction of the people, and exhortation to obedience to the Law of God: and herein that malediction, Genesis 49:7. is turned into an honourable blessing.
