SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:17
Y el tabernáculo era ya desarmado, y se movieron los hijos de Gersón y los hijos de Merari, que lo llevaban.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. And the tabernacle was taken down , etc.] By the Levites, as Aben Ezra, and which appears to be their work, from ( Numbers 1:51); this began to be done by them as soon as the cloud was perceived to move upwards, and the camp of Judah was preparing to march; and after Aaron and his sons had taken the holy vessels out of the holy and most holy place, and had packed up and covered them as directed, ( Numbers 4:5-15); this was an emblem of the taking down of the Jewish church state, the abolition of the service of the sanctuary, as well as of the changeable condition of the Gospel church in the wilderness, which is not always in one and the same place, but is moved from place to place, and that by the ministers of the word, signified by the Levites, who are sent and carry the Gospel here and there: and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle ; the former, the hangings and vail, and the latter the boards, pillars, sockets, etc. each of them having wagons for their assistance: these followed immediately after the camp of Judah.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-28 - After the Israelites had continued nearly a year at mount Sinai, an all was settled respecting their future worship, they began their marc to Canaan. True religion begins with the knowledge of the holy law of God, and humiliation for sin, but we must go on towards perfection, i acquaintance with Christ and his gospel, and those effectua encouragements, motives, and assistances to holiness, which i proposes. They took their journey according to the commandment of the Lord, De 1:6-8, and as the cloud led them. Those who give themselves to the direction of God's word and Spirit, steer a steady course, eve when they seem bewildered. While they are sure they cannot lose their God and Guide, they need not fear losing their way. They went out of the wilderness of Sinai, and rested in the wilderness of Paran. All ou removes in this world are but from one wilderness to another. The changes we think will be for the better do not always prove so. We shall never be at rest, never at home, till we come to heaven, but all will be well there.
