Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

4:4-20 The Kohathites were to carry the holy things of the tabernacle. All the holy things were to be covered; not only for security and respect, but to keep them from being seen.

But now, through Christ, the case is altered, and we are encouraged to come boldly to the throne of grace.
