Numbers 1:53 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

No wrath, to wit, from God, who is very tender of his worship, and will not suffer the profaners of it to go unpunished; whose wrath is called simply wrath by way of eminency, as the most terrible kind of wrath. Shall keep the charge, i.e. shall suffer no stranger to approach through curiosity, or any other motive.

Numbers 1:53

53 But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.
