Commentary on Numbers 18:4
The Levites 'shall be joined unto thee' for service, but 'a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.' This exclusivity protected God's ordained order. While the gospel eventually opens access to all believers as 'royal priesthood' (1 Peter 2:9), Old Covenant structures taught that approaching God requires proper authorization. New Testament access came through Christ's priestly work, not human presumption.
