Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 15. - Eden... Shemaiah (see 2 Chronicles 29:12, 14). In the cities (see Joshua 21:19). In their set office; i.e. in their appointed duty. The word (בֶּךאמוּנָה) here used bespeaks the important and trustworthy nature of the duty committed to those spoken of, and probably betrays the fact that the duty had not always in the past been honestly discharged (see same word in ver. 12).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) Next him.--By his hand ('al y?do). (Comp. 1Chronicles 25:2-3.) The meaning is, "subordinate to him."The six Levites here named as under the direction of Kore had the duty of distributing a proper share of the firstfruits, tithes, and dedicated things to their brethren residing in the sacerdotal cities, where they themselves were stationed.In their set office.--It seems better to connect the phrase so rendered with the following verb: "honestly to give" (comp. 2Chronicles 31:12). So Vulg.: "ut fideliter distribuerent fratribus suis partes," &c. Others render be'em-nah, "in trust."Their brethren by courses.--Rather, their brethren in the courses--i.e., those members of the Levitical classes who, not being on duty at the Temple, were dwelling in their towns; and those who were past service, and young children.Great . . . small.--Older . . . younger.
