Commentary on Numbers 1:51
The Levites' responsibility to dismantle and transport the tabernacle emphasizes their mediating role between God's holiness and Israel's camp. The warning that 'the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death' underscores the seriousness of approaching God improperly. Only those consecrated for this service could handle holy things without incurring judgment. This foreshadows Christ's exclusive mediation—He alone provides safe access to God's presence, and attempts to approach God apart from Christ result in judgment.
