Destroy not the people of Caath from the midst of the Levites:

'Ye do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathite from the midst of the Levites;

Do not let the family of the Kohathites be cut off from among the Levites;

"Do not be willing to lose the people of Kohath from the midst of the Levites.

Ne excidatis tribum familiarum Cehath e medio Levitarum.

(l) Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites:
(l) Committing by your negligence that the holy things are not well wrapped, causing them to perish by touching it.

Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites. Or give no occasion, as the Targum of Jonathan; or be not the cause of their cutting off, as Jarchi, through negligence or inadvertency of theirs, in packing up the above things, and delivering them to them.

Cut not off - Do not by your neglect provoke God to cut them off for touching the holy things.
