But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, etc.] They were not to be present while they were packing up, test they should see any of them with their eyes; they were not to go in until they were quite covered out of sight; which may signify the hiding of the mysteries of grace in those things under the former dispensation, when even the Levites themselves were not admitted to a sight of them; (see <490304> Ephesians 3:4,5); lest they die; by the immediate hand of God.
