Hawker's Poor man's commentary

1 Chronicles 23:26

The employment of the Levite, probably before the temple was built, had been accompanied with bodily exercise and labour: but now they are henceforth to minister only in holy things. Is not this a beautiful type of the gospel church? When Jesus, whom this temple represented, came in the fulness of grace and truth, his spiritual worship forever did away the shadow of service. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availed anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. Galatians 6:15.
