num 4:19But thus do unto them,.... As after directed:
that they may live and not die; live long, and not die a sudden and violent death:
when they approach unto the most holy things; the ark, the shewbread table, &c. to take them up and carry them:
Aaron and his sons shall go in; into the holy and most holy places:
and appoint them in everyone to his service, and to his burden; what everyone shall do, and how they shall take them up, and bear them.

Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites, &c.--a solemn admonition to Moses and Aaron to beware, lest, by any negligence on their part, disorder and improprieties should creep in, and to take the greatest care that all the parts of this important service be apportioned to the proper parties, lest the Kohathites should be disqualified for their high and honorable duties. The guilt of their death would be incurred by the superintending priest, if he failed to give proper directions or allowed any irreverent familiarity with sacred things.
