And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, etc.] That is, the priests, Aaron and his sons; the high priest was to keep the charge of the most holy place particularly, and do what was to be done in that on the day of atonement; and the common priests to keep the charge of the holy place, and do everything relating to the altar of incense, the shewbread table, and candlestick: and the charge of the altar; of burnt offering, which stood in the court of the tabernacle: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel: as had been upon Korah and his company, (<041632>Numbers 16:32,33), and as afterwards came on Uzziah, (<142619>2 Chronicles 26:19-21).
