The tribe of Levi was set apart for religious duties, and teaching was a significant part of their responsibilities (<a href="/deuteronomy/31-9.htm">Deuteronomy 31:9-13</a>). The term "Jacob" refers to the nation of Israel, emphasizing the covenant relationship between God and His people. Teaching the ordinances was crucial for maintaining the covenant and ensuring that the Israelites lived according to God's commands. This role of teaching is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus is often referred to as a teacher (Rabbi) who expounds on the law (<a href="/matthew/5-17.htm">Matthew 5:17-19</a>).<p><b>and Your law to Israel;</b><br>The law given to Israel was central to their identity as God's chosen people. It included moral, ceremonial, and civil laws that governed every aspect of life. The Levites were responsible for ensuring that the Israelites understood and adhered to these laws. This teaching function is seen as a precursor to the New Covenant, where the law is written on the hearts of believers (<a href="/jeremiah/31-33.htm">Jeremiah 31:33</a>, <a href="/hebrews/8-10.htm">Hebrews 8:10</a>). The emphasis on teaching the law underscores the importance of Scripture in guiding the lives of believers.<p><b>he will set incense before You</b><br>Incense in the Old Testament was symbolic of prayer and worship (<a href="/psalms/141-2.htm">Psalm 141:2</a>, <a href="/revelation/8-3.htm">Revelation 8:3-4</a>). The Levites, particularly the priests, were tasked with burning incense on the altar of incense in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple (<a href="/exodus/30-7.htm">Exodus 30:7-8</a>). This act represented the prayers of the people ascending to God. The use of incense is a type of Christ's intercessory work, as He continually intercedes for believers before the Father (<a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>).<p><b>and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.</b><br>Whole burnt offerings were a type of sacrifice where the entire animal was consumed by fire on the altar (<a href="/leviticus/1-3.htm">Leviticus 1:3-9</a>). This offering symbolized complete dedication and atonement for sin. The Levites facilitated these offerings, which were central to the sacrificial system. The whole burnt offering is a type of Christ's ultimate sacrifice, as He offered Himself completely for the atonement of humanity's sins (<a href="/ephesians/5-2.htm">Ephesians 5:2</a>, <a href="/hebrews/10-10.htm">Hebrews 10:10</a>). The altar, a place of sacrifice, points to the cross where Jesus was crucified, fulfilling the sacrificial system once and for all.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Deuteronomy, delivering blessings to the tribes of Israel before his death.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/l/levi.htm">Levi</a></b><br>The tribe being addressed in this verse, known for their priestly duties and responsibilities.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/j/jacob.htm">Jacob</a></b><br>Another name for Israel, representing the descendants of the patriarch Jacob.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation chosen by God, consisting of the twelve tribes, including Levi.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_altar.htm">The Altar</a></b><br>The sacred place where offerings and incense are presented to God, symbolizing worship and atonement.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/r/role_of_the_priesthood.htm">Role of the Priesthood</a></b><br>The Levites were set apart to teach God's law and facilitate worship.
