Commentary on Numbers 4:5
The command for Aaron and his sons to cover the ark before the Kohathites approached demonstrates the extreme holiness of God's presence. Even the Levites consecrated to tabernacle service could not look upon the ark uncovered without dying. The priests' mediatorial role in preparing the holy things for transport illustrates that approaching God requires proper mediation—a principle fulfilled in Christ who grants believers access to God's presence through His blood (Hebrews 10:19-22).
