51<\/strong>. the stranger<\/em> ] Not a ‘foreigner,’ but one who does not belong to the particular class mentioned in the context here and in Num 18:4<\/span>, the Levites; in Num 3:10<\/span>; Num 3:38<\/span>, Num 18:7<\/span>, the priests.<\/p>\n The <\/P> stranger<\/B> elsewhere is one of another nation, here one of another tribe, one no Levite. That cometh nigh, so as to do the offices mentioned Num 1:50<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And when the tabernacle setteth forward<\/strong>,…. Or was about to set forward; that is, the congregation were about to journey, and take the tabernacle with them, as they always did, when and wherever they journeyed:<\/p>\n the Levites shall take it down<\/strong>; unpin it, take the boards and pillars out of their sockets, and the bars out of their places, and the whole into pieces, in order to be put into wagons prepared to carry them, of which mention is made in a following chapter;<\/p>\n and when the tabernacle is pitched, the Levites shall set it up<\/strong>; at whatsoever place the congregation encamped and took up their abode for any time: the tabernacle was pitched in the manner as tents are, when the Levites put the several parts together, laid the sockets, put in the boards and the bars, and also the pillars of the court and elsewhere, and hung the hangings upon them; and set the candlestick, tables, altars, ark, and all the vessels of the sanctuary in their proper places:<\/p>\n and the stranger that cometh nigh<\/strong>; to meddle with or touch the above things, to assist in taking down or setting up the tabernacle, or bearing any of the vessels of it: by a stranger is meant, not one of another nation, nor a proselyte, whether of the gate or of righteousness; but, as Aben Ezra interprets it, one that is a stranger from the sons of Levi, who is not of that tribe, even though an Israelite:<\/p>\n shall be put to death<\/strong>; either the sanhedrim or court of judicature shall condemn and put him to death, as the same writer observes; or he shall die by the hand of heaven, as Jarchi; that is, by the immediate hand of God, or with flaming fire from before the Lord, as the Targum of Jonathan; as Uzzah was smote, and died by the ark of God for touching it, 2Sa 5:6<\/span>.<\/p>\n (51) And the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.<\/strong>The word zar <\/em>(stranger) here denotes one who was not of the tribe of Levi (Lev. 22:10<\/span>; Lev. 22:12<\/span>).<\/p>\n 51<\/strong>. <\/strong> The stranger that cometh nigh <\/strong> Every non-Levite is prohibited from intrusion upon the sacred precincts. So, also, with respect to the priestly office, every Levite not an Aaronic priest is a stranger. The profaned censers used by Korah the Levite, and his host of princes, were made into plates for the covering of the altar, “to be a memorial (warning) unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, <\/em> which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the Lord.” Num 16:36-40<\/span>. <\/p>\n Shall be put to death <\/strong> We find no directions to the Hebrew judiciary in such a case, and no instance of the infliction of the death penalty for this sacrilege by the human magistrate, but a record of the special interposition of Jehovah in the case of Nadab and Abihu, (Lev 10:1-2<\/span>,) supposed to have been drunk, because of the prohibition of wine immediately subjoined, (Lev 10:8-10<\/span>,) and also of Uzzah, 1Ch 13:10<\/span>. Hence we infer that this crime was punished by the immediate stroke of the Divine hand only. To the objection that this punishment was too severe and too summary, we reply that it was designed to teach the holiness of God in an impressive manner. We know too little of the Divine government to criticise its acts.<\/p>\n put to death. Probably by Jehovah. Compare 1Ch 13:10. <\/p>\n the Levites: Num 4:5-33, Num 10:11, Num 10:17-21 <\/p>\n the stranger: Num 3:10, Num 3:38, Num 16:40, Num 18:22, Lev 22:10-13, 1Sa 6:19, 2Sa 6:7 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Exo 29:33 – a stranger Num 10:21 – the other did Num 17:13 – Whosoever Num 18:4 – a stranger 1Ki 13:33 – whosoever<\/p>\n 1:51 And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the {h} stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.<\/p>\n (h) Whoever is not of the tribe of Levi.<\/p>\n And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 51. the stranger ] Not a ‘foreigner,’ but one who does not belong to the particular class mentioned … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 1:51”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3664","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3664"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3664\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
