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

CHAPTER XVIII

The priests are to bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, 1.

The Levites to minister to the priests, and have charge of the

tabernacle, 2-4.

The priests alone to have the charge of the sanctuary, c., no

stranger to come nigh on pain of death, 5-7

The portion allowed for their maintenance, 8.

They shall have every meat-offering and they shall eat them in

the holy place, 9, 10.

The first-fruits of the oil, wine, and wheat, and whatever is

first ripe, and every devoted thing, 12-14;

also, all the first-born of men and beasts, 15-18;

and heave-offerings, 19.

The priests shall have no inheritance, 20.

The Levites shall have no inheritance, but shall have the tenth

of the produce in Israel, 21-24,

of which they are to give a tenth to the priests, taken from the

best parts, 25-30.

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.
