Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - Therefore the Levites had the charge (see Leviticus 1, etc., which repeatedly affirms that the original directions of Moses were that the person who brought the victim to offer it was to slay it, and to bring the blood).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) There were many in the congregation that were not sanctified.--Comp. 2Chronicles 35:6; 2Chronicles 35:10-11, where the Levites are again represented as doing the same work, but not as an exception. The precedent of Hezekiah's Passover would seem to have become the rule. (Comp. also Ezra 6:20.)To sanctify them--i.e., the lambs, which would have been ceremonially unclean if slain by unclean hands. (Comp. 2Chronicles 2:4, "to dedicate it unto Him;" the same verb.)
