Бамидбар 18:4 Комментарий: Rashi, Sforno, Rabbeinu Bahya & Siftei Chakhamim

וְנִלְו֣וּ עָלֶ֔יךָ וְשָֽׁמְר֗וּ אֶת־מִשְׁמֶ֙רֶת֙ אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד לְכֹ֖ל עֲבֹדַ֣ת הָאֹ֑הֶל וְזָ֖ר לֹא־יִקְרַ֥ב אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃

И они будут присоединены к тебе и будут отвечать за скинию собрания, какой бы ни была служба в скинии; но обычный человек не приблизится к вам.

Rashi on Numbers

וזר לא יקרב אליכם AND A LAYMAN SHALL NOT APPROACH UNTO YOU — It is you whom I admonish concerning this.

Sforno on Numbers

ושמרו את משמרת אהל מועד, within the curtained off area of the courtyard.

Rabbeinu Bahya

ושמרו את משמרת אהל מועד, “and they are to safeguard the duties pertaining to the Tent of Meeting.” The purpose of this שמירה, supervision, is to enhance the reputation of the Tabernacle as it is a well known fact that any building surrounded by guards of honour is considered as of greater importance by people seeing the guards than even a palace not surrounded by guards.
