1 Chronicles 6:49
But Aaron and his sons offered upon the altar of the burnt offering, and on the altar of incense, and were appointed for all the work of the place most holy, and to make an atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.
The verse stands in the opening genealogical portion of the book, in the first nine chapters, which are lists and genealogies of the various tribes with interesting matters thrown in. It lies within the extended record of names and chronology in chapters 4-19 that is often regarded as long, tedious, dry, and uninteresting. Even in that record illuminating gems appear that show the preservation of the records of God's children and the integrity of the tribes, especially in the carefully preserved genealogy of the tribe of Judah through whom Christ came. That genealogical setting shows the book's special attention to the house of Judah and to the priesthood, greater than that found in Kings.
The book containing the verse originally formed one book in the third part of the Jewish canon called Words or Acts of Days, meaning minutes of events and lists of names and the like. In the Septuagint it is called Things omitted or passed over, its common name comes from the Latin Chronica, and it was compiled by Ezra. The verse states that Aaron and his sons offered upon both the altar of burnt offering and the altar of incense, were appointed to all the work of the most holy place, and made atonement for Israel according to all commanded through Moses the servant of God. The burnt offerings Aaron offered at the altar in the court were part of the priestly work that typified the work of Christ.
