Num_4:20 But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are covered, lest they die.

Ver. 20. But they shall not go in to see.] The men of Bethshemesh paid for their peeping. {1Sa_6:9} Search not into God’s secrets: hic oportet mirari, non rimari {Deu_29:29} Remember that saying of Xenocrates the philosopher: Nihil interesse, pedesne quisquam, an oculos in aliena domo ponat, {a} It is as great unmannerliness to pry into another man’s house as to press into it.

{a} Plutarch, De Curiosit.
