On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Both these considerations made them very zealous and forward in setting up the worship of God among them; so they began their worship of God at the right end. Instances hereof we have here. Before the house of the Lord was built they had the house of the tabernacle, a plain and movable tent, which they made use of in the mean time.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Able men - Hebrew. mighty men of valour: which is here noted as an excellent qualification for their place; because the priests might meet with great opposition in the discharge of their office, in the execution of the censures upon all impure persons without exception, and in preserving sacred things from violation by the touch of forbidden hands.
