And they cannot well have any other sense here; for it would be impossible for all the children of Israel to put their hands on the Levites, as stated in the next verse. Lev 8:3 Num 3:45; Lev 1:4; Acts 6:6, Acts 13:2-3; 1Tim 4:14, 1Tim 5:22 offer Heb. wave offering Heb. wave-offering, Not that they were actually waved, but they were presented to God, as the God of heaven, and the Lord of the whole earth, as the wave offerings were; and in calling them wave-offerings, it was intimated to them that they must move to and fro with readiness in the business of their profession.

To this the apostle Paul manifestly alludes, when, in writing to the Romans, he says (Rom 12:1), "I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
