Overview
Additional Levitical representatives, including descendants of the worship-leader Asaph, join the consecration effort. The inclusion of the Asaphite singers signals that music and praise will accompany the restored worship. This widening circle of willing servants anticipates the gathered people of God who, in Christ, join in worship and praise before His throne.
