   {Wehainaphta othom tenoophath,} literlly, as in ver. 11, "and
   thou shalt wave them for a wave-offering;" manifestly in
   allusion to the ancient sacrificial rite of waving the
   sacrifices before the Lord; and it is probable, that some
   significant action, analogous to the waving of the sacrifice,
   was employed on this occasion; for the Levites were
   considered as an offering to the Lord, to whose service they
   were wholly dedicated.  To this the apostle Paul manifestly
   alludes, when, in writing to the Romans, he says, (ch. 12:1,)
   "I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
   that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
   acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."
