the holy things: Hakkodesh, "the holy," or "sanctuary," i.e., the ark, as the Jews generally understand it; and with good reason, as any one may be convinced, who compares 1 Kings 8:8, with 2 Chronicles 5:9, where that which is called the holy in the former, is called the ark in the latter.

Reciprocal: Numbers 4:18 - General Numbers 18:3 - only they 2 Samuel 6:6 - put forth 1 Chronicles 15:2 - None ought to Ezra 8:28 - the vessels

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered,.... 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 Ephesians 3:4;

lest they die; by the immediate hand of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

to see when the holy things are covered - Render: to see the holy things for an instant. The expression means Iiterally” as a gulp,” i. e. for the instant it takes to swallow.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 4:20. When the holy things are covered — Literally, כבלע keballa, when they are swallowed down; which shows the promptitude with which every thing belonging to the holy of holies was put out of sight, for these mysteries must ever be treated with the deepest reverence; and indeed without this they could not have been to them the representatives of heavenly realities. See the concluding note.
