SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:50
mas tú pondrás a los levitas en el tabernáculo del testimonio, y sobre todos sus vasos, y sobre todas las cosas que les pertenecen; ellos llevarán el tabernáculo y todos sus vasos, y ellos servirán en él, y asentarán sus tiendas alrededor del tabernáculo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 50. But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony , etc.] So called from the ark in it, in which was the law of God, which was a testimony of the will of God to his people: and over all the vessels thereof ; the candlestick, table: and altars, as Aben Ezra notes: and over all things that [belong] to it ; the vessels of vessels, as the same writer calls them; for the candlestick, shewbread table, and the two altars of incense and burnt offering had vessels appertaining to them: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels thereof ; carry them from place to place when needful: and they shall minister unto it ; by taking care of the instruments of it and the vessels in it, but not by doing any part of the priestly office in it, as offering sacrifice, burning incense, and the like: and shall encamp round about the tabernacle ; they were a sort of camp or army of themselves, and their station was around the tabernacle, which was a kind of royal palace to God the King of kings; so that as they were the king’s legion, and to be numbered alone, as Jarchi observes, in ( Numbers 1:49), so they were a guard about his palace, and were placed between that and the camp of Israel.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 47-54 - Care is here taken to distinguish the tribe of Levi, which, in the matter of the golden calf, had distinguished itself. Singular service shall be recompensed by singular honours. It was to the honour of the Levites, that to them was committed the care of the tabernacle and it treasures, in their camps and in their marches. It was for the honou of the holy things that none should see them, or touch them, but thos who were called of God to the service. We all are unfit and unworthy to have fellowship with God, till called by his grace into the fellowshi of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and so, being the spiritual seed of that great High Priest, we are made priests to our God. Great care mus be taken to prevent sin, for preventing sin is preventing wrath. Being a holy tribe, they were not reckoned among other Israelites. They tha minister about holy things, should neither entangle themselves, nor be entangled, in worldly affairs. And let every believer seek to do what the Lord has commanded __________________________________________________________________
