An. Ex. Is 2. Ijar. on.The Israelites had lain encamped in the wilderness of Sinai about eleven months and twenty days (comp. Ex 19:1); and they now received the order of God to decamp, and proceed to the promised land: the Samaritan, therefore, introduces at this place, nearly the words of De 1:6-8: "And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount; turn, and take your journey, etc." 1:1; 9:1,5,11; Ex 40:2the cloud.9:17-23Numbers 17:7-8
18:2; Ex 38:21; Ac 7:44 the rod of Aaron.This fact was so unquestionably miraculous, that no doubt could remain on the minds of the people, or the envious chiefs, of the divine appointment of Aaron: and as there were buds, blossoms, and fruit on the rod at the same time, which was never the case with branches in the natural and ordinary course, this evidently proved the miracle, and took away all suspicion of the fraud which has been impiously suggested, that Moses had taken away Aaron's rod in the night time, and put a living branch of an almond tree in the room of it. A sceptre or staff of office resuming its vegetative life, was considered an absolute impossibility among the ancients; and as they were accustomed to swear by their sceptres, this circumstance was added to confirm the oath. budded.5; Ge 40:10; Ps 110:2; 132:17,18; So 2:3; Isa 4:2; Eze 17:24Eze 19:12,14; Joh 15:1-6Numbers 18:2
joined unto thee.There is a fine paronomasia in the original. Levi is desired from {lawah,} to join, couple, associate; hence Moses says, the Levites {yillawoo,} "shall be joined," or associated, with the priests: they shall conjointly perform the sacred office, but the priests shall be principal, the Levites their associates or assistants. 4; Ge 29:34minister.3:6-9; 8:19,22but thou.3:10-13; 4:15; 16:40; 17:7; 1Ch 16:39,40; 2Ch 30:16; Eze 44:15Joshua 18:1
1 The tabernacle is set up at Shiloh.2 The remainder of the land is described, and divided into seven parts.10 Joshua distributes it by lot.11 The lot and border of Benjamin.21 Their cities. Shiloh.Shiloh was situated on a hill in the tribe of Ephraim, though near the borders of Benjamin, about fifteen miles north of Jerusalem, and, according to Eusebius, twelve, or according to Jerome, ten miles (south) from Shechem or Nablous. It was but a little north from Bethel or Ai, and near the road from Shechem to Jerusalem. (Jud 21:19.) In Jerome's time, Shiloh was ruined; and nothing remarkable was extant, but the foundations of the altar of burnt offerings which had been erected when the tabernacle stood there. 19:51; 21:2; 22:9set up.Jud 18:31; 1Sa 1:3,24; 4:3,4; 1Ki 2:27; 14:2,4; Ps 78:66Jer 7:12-14; 26:62 Chronicles 24:6
