Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
29:9 forever: The fulfillment of this promise, as with the one to David, clearly leads beyond the merely human. Aaron’s own behavior was less than sterling (e.g., ch 32; Num 11), and the behavior of his sons and descendants was no better (1 Sam 2:12-17; Isa 28:7; Ezek 8:15-16; Mal 2:1-9). The promise could only find its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ (see Heb 7:26; 9:11). • To ordain (literally to fill the hands) means to give a person a task to perform.
