SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:3
Y tendrán tú guarda, y la guarda de todo el tabernáculo; mas no llegarán a los vasos santos ni al altar, para que no mueran ellos y vosotros.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle , etc.] That is, the Levites, whatever Aaron and his sons, the priests, should charge them to do, or commit to their care and charge, that they should observe; as to watch and keep out all unfit persons, to take down and set up the tabernacle when needful, etc. only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary ; as the ark and mercy seat in the holy of holies, the shewbread table, and candlestick in the holy place; wherefore when these were removed from place to place in journeying, they were covered, that they might not touch them as they carried them: and the altar ; both of incense and burnt offering, on neither of which might they offer: that neither they nor you also die : the priests for suffering them to meddle with things that did not belong to them, and the Levites for intruding themselves.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - The people complained of their difficulty and peril in drawing near to God. God here gives them to understand, that the priests should com near for them. Aaron would see reason not to be proud of his preferment, when he considered the great care and charge upon him. Be not high-minded, but fear. The greater the trust of work and power tha is committed to us, the greater danger there is of betraying tha trust. This is a good reason why we should neither envy others honours, nor desire high places.
