| Exodus 32:29
| And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be given to you.
| To you. Thus they merited the priesthood, and a blessing; (Deuteronomy 33:9.; Menochius) having been the ministers of God's just indignation, without sparing any of the most guilty. With these they could not be unacquainted. No external signs on their bodies were requisite to make the delinquents known. They had appeared too publicly. (Haydock) --- The Levites acted with due authority and order, which their father, Levi, had neglected, Genesis 34. (Worthington)
