Numbers 17

Numbers 17:13

Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?

We do well see, how deadly a thing it is, for us to offer to meddle with any of the sacred businesses of the tabernacle; but, O Lord, what shall become of us? Some of us are swallowed up of the earth; others of us are consumed by fire; others, by the sudden stroke of thy hand: O God, wilt thou not be entreated to take off thy revenging hand from us, till we be all utterly consumed?
