Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Chronicles 23:14

14 Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the Tribe of Levi .

i. e. They were accounted onely as common Levites, and were not Priests: Which is mentioned partly to secure the Priesthood within the Bounds to which God had confined it, lest they should presume to [illegible: 1+ letters]nvade it upon a confidence in the Nobleness of their Extraction: and partly for the Honour of Moses and the demonstration of his Eminent Piety and Self-denial, who willingly left the Government to Ioshua, and the Priesthood to Aaron, and was content to have his Posterity reduced to a very private and mean Condition.
