Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And all the congregation worshipped,.... Bowed their heads as a token of divine adoration:
and the singers sang; both with vocal and instrumental music, who were the Levites:
and the trumpeters sounded; their silver trumpets; these were the priests: and all this continued
until the burnt offering was finished; with all appertaining to it, the meat and drink offerings.

During the offering of the burnt-offering, until it was ended, the whole congregation stood worshipping; and the song of the Levites, accompanied by the music of the stringed instruments and the trumpet-blowing of the priests, continued. משׁורר השּׁיר, "the song was singing," stands for "the body of singers sang;" and the trumpets also stand for the trumpeters.
