Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 29:34

34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them till the work was ended, and untill the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart, to sanctifie themselves, than the priests.

To wit, such as were sanctified and fit for their Work, as the following words shew: for otherwise the Number of the Priests was more than sufficient for this Employment.

And much less all the other Sacrifices, which were more numerous; the flaying whereof was the Priests proper Work, Levit. 1. 5, 6.

Necessity excusing their deviation from the Rule, as it hath excused others in like Cases.

Marginal references: Heb. strengthened them.
