Commentary on Numbers 4:17
God's concern that the Kohathite tribe 'be not cut off from among the Levites' reveals His desire to preserve those set apart for sacred service, despite the mortal danger involved. The Hebrew karat (cut off) often indicates judgment, but here God provides protective instructions to prevent it. This demonstrates divine mercy within judgment—God establishes both the threat and the means of escape. He preserves His servants through obedience to prescribed order, foreshadowing how Christ keeps us from spiritual death through His mediatorial work.
