Commentary on Numbers 7:9
The Kohathites receiving no wagons appears surprising until we remember their unique calling—they carried the most sacred objects (ark, table, lampstand, altars) on their shoulders. These items were too holy to be placed on wagons pulled by animals. Physical proximity and direct human contact emphasized their sanctity. This teaches that the most precious things require the most careful handling. The Reformed understanding of the means of grace is relevant—some things are too sacred for casual treatment and require reverent, personal attention.
