Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 23:14

"But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi." — 1 Chronicles 23:14 (ASV)

Now concerning Moses the man of God. —Rather, Now Moses, the man of God.

His sons were named (or should be named) of the tribe of Levi. —See Genesis 48:6 for the phrase “to be called after” (niqrâ’ ‘al). Aaron’s sons were priests; but the sons of Moses, his brother, were reckoned as simple Levites, and therefore their houses are here enumerated (1 Chronicles 23:15–17).

The man of God. —See Deuteronomy 33:1;Psalms 90:0; Joshua 14:6. David is so called (2 Chronicles 8:14; Nehemiah 12:24). The meaning of the title is one charged with a Divine mission. Hence the prophets were so called in the times of the kings; and St. Paul applies the title to Timothy (1 Timothy 6:11).
