Definitions for Deuteronomy 31:25
Barnes's Deuteronomy 31:25 Bible Commentary
The Levites, which bare the ark - i. e., as in Deuteronomy 31:9, "the priests the sons of Levi." The non-priestly Levites could not so much as enter the sanctuary or touch the ark (compare Numbers 4:15). Though in the journeys through the wilderness the ark was borne by the non-priestly Kohathites, yet on occasions of a more solemn and public character it was carried by the priests themselves (Joshua 3:3 ff, Joshua 4:9-10; Joshua 6:6, Joshua 6:12; Joshua 8:33; 1 Kings 8:3).
Wesley's Deuteronomy 31:25 Bible Commentary
31:25 The Levites - The priests, Deuteronomy 31:9 , who also were Levites.
