Numbers 4:4
"This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath, in the tabernacle of the congregation,.... What follows, Num 4:4 , about the most holy things; which Aben Ezra interprets

only of the ark, which was indeed a most holy thing, and stood in the most holy place; but there were other holy things, in the care of which the service of the Kohathites lay; as the shewbread table, the candlestick, and the altars of incense and burnt offering, and the vail, and the ministering: vessels, which Jarchi reckons with it, as more holy than all other things.
