| Numbers 3:28
| All of the male sex from one month and upward, eight thousand six hundred: they shall have the guard of the sanctuary,
| Sanctuary, with respect to the things mentioned, ver. 31. (Menochius) --- The Samaritan copy observes, that they also carried the brazen laver, as we find they did, (Numbers 4:14.) All these things were folded up in the violet curtains of the sanctuary, while the ark was covered with the veil which hung before it, (Numbers 4:5.) Some pretend that the number here specified ought to be 830, to obviate a difficulty [in] ver. 39. But this amendment has no solid foundation. (Calmet)
