SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:53
mas los levitas asentarán las suyas alrededor del tabernáculo del testimonio, para que no haya ira sobre la congregación de los hijos de Israel; y los levitas tendrán la guarda del tabernáculo del testimonio.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 53. But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony , etc.] Between the tabernacle and the camps of Israel, to guard the tabernacle and preserve the things in it, and to keep persons from going into it that should not, to pollute or plunder it: these were placed in like manner as the four living creatures round the throne, ( Revelation 4:6); where the allusion seems to be to this situation of the Levites: that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel ; that is, from the Lord, should any of them approach too near, or meddle with and touch what they had nothing to do with, or go where they should not; such wrath as came upon Uzzah for his error and transgression before observed: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony ; the several things in it committed to their charge; (see Numbers 3:8).
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 __________________________________________________________________
