TUHAN berfirman kepada Harun: "Engkau ini dan anak-anakmu beserta seluruh sukumu haruslah menanggung akibat setiap kesalahan terhadap tempat kudus; sedang hanya engkau beserta anak-anakmulah yang harus menanggung akibat setiap kesalahan yang dilakukan dalam jabatanmu sebagai imam.
Sebermula, maka firman Tuhan kepada Harun: Bahwa engkau dan anak-anakmu dan isi rumah bapamupun sertamu akan menanggung kesalahan tempat suci, dan engkau dan anak-anakmupun sertamu akan menanggung kesalahan imamatmu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord spake unto Aaron,.... As the things spoken were such as concerned Aaron, he might be only and immediately spoken unto: thou,
and thy sons, and thy father's house with thee; meaning both priests and Levites, the priests by him and his sons, and the Levites by his father's house:
shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; the blame of any evil committed there, the punishment of it; the priests, Aaron and his sons, if they did not perform the duty of their office aright, he in the most holy place, and they in the holy place, and at the altar of burnt offering in the court; and the Levites, if they did not take care to watch in the tabernacle, and keep out strangers and polluted persons:
and thou, and thy sons with thee, shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood; be answerable for my sins, errors, and mistakes that should be committed by them in the discharge of their office, through their own remissness, or not taking care that the Levites did their duty; this shows that the office of priesthood, though honourable, was burdensome, and not to be envied; and that the people needed not to be under such terrible apprehensions as they were, lest they should come too near the sanctuary, as to be in danger of death, since it lay upon the priests and Levites especially to take care thereof, and who, if negligent, would suffer.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The iniquity of the sanctuary - i. e. the guilt of the offences which an erring people would be continually committing against the majesty of God, when brought into contact, through the ordinances, with the manifestations of His presence. Compare the marginal reference.
The iniquity of your priesthood - As the priests themselves were but men, they were strengthened to bear the iniquity of their own unintentional offences, by being entrusted with the ceremonial means of taking it away (compare Leviticus 16:0). The word “bear” has, in the Old Testament, this double sense of “enduring” and “removing;” but in the person of Christ, who atoned by His own endurance, the two axe in effect one.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible

NOTES ON CHAP. XVIII
Verse Numbers 18:1. Thou and thy sons - shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, c. — That is, They must be answerable for its legal pollutions, and must make the necessary atonements and expiations. By this they must feel that though they had got a high and important office confirmed to them by a miraculous interference, yet it was a place of the highest responsibility and that they must not be high-minded, but fear.
