EXPLANATION

Verse 11. A gift. Hebrew “he shall heave them as a heave-offering before the Lord.” Some assert, that Aaron lifted each of them towards the four quarters of the world; (verse 21,) or he made them go up towards the altar, and on each side. This ceremony was performed whenever a Levite was taken into the ministry. 2 Chronicles 29:34.
