Deuteronomy 33 9 Reflects on the Levitical Priestly Responsibility

Moses enlists these Levites to execute judgment on the idolaters. And I think what we have pictured here is an enactment of the Levitical priestly responsibility to guard the purity of the temple. We remember that Adam was commanded to guard the Garden of Eden when the serpent entered. Well, that same command is going to be given to the priests in numbers.
