Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Unto the sons of Kohath he gave none - Because they had the charge of the ark, table, candlestick, altars, etc., Numbers 4:5-15, which were to be carried upon their shoulders; for those sacred things must not be drawn by beasts.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none,.... Being all disposed of to the sons of Gershon and Merari: the reason of which follows:

because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders; as the ark with the mercy seat, and cherubim, the shewbread table, the candlestick, and the two altars; though in later times we find the ark was sometimes not only carried by the priests, but upon a cart, Joshua 3:17.


Geneva Study Bible

But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: {d} because the service of the sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders.

(d) The holy thing of the sanctuary must be carried on their shoulders and not drawn with oxen, Nu 4:15.


Wesley's Notes

7:9 Upon their shoulders - Because of the greater worth and holiness of the things which they carried.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

7:1-9 The offering of the princes to the service of the tabernacle was not made till it was fully set up. Necessary observances must always take place of free-will offerings. The more any are advanced, the greater opportunity they have of serving God and their generation. No sooner was the tabernacle set up, than provision is made for the removal of it. Even when but just settled in the world, we must be preparing for changes and removes, especially for the great change.


Numbers 4:5 When the camp is to move, Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the shielding curtain and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.
1 Kings 8:3 When all the elders of Israel had arrived, the priests took up the ark,
1 Chronicles 23:26 the Levites no longer need to carry the tabernacle or any of the articles used in its service."
