Verse Takeaways

1

God is a God of Order

Matthew Henry highlights that the specific assignment given to Mattithiah is part of a larger principle: God values order and diligence. When everyone knows their specific role and carries it out faithfully, work is done well. This earthly temple service, with its designated duties, serves as a model for our own service to God and a foreshadowing of the perfect worship in heaven.
