This verse highlights the importance of order, reverence, and respect for the sacred space where God's presence dwells. The Levites' role as guardians of the tabernacle symbolizes the need for spiritual protection and purity in approaching God. It serves as a reminder of the holiness of God and the necessity of approaching Him with humility and obedience.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And the children of Israel did according to all the Lord commanded Moses,.... Pitched their tents by their own camps and standards; did not come near the tabernacle but kept at a proper distance from it, and did not meddle with things they had no concern, with, and which were peculiar to the Levites: so they did; which is repeated to show how readily, punctually, and perfectly they observed the command of God with respect to this affair.
