Core Text
לֹא תֵצְאוּ. יָכוֹל אֲפִלּוּ שֶׁלֹּא בִּשְׁעַת עֲבוֹדָה? תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר (פ' אֱמוֹר) וּמִן הַמִּקְדָּשׁ לֹא יֵצֵא וְלֹא יְחַלֵּל, אֵימָתַי אֵינוֹ יוֹצֵא וְלֹא יְחַלֵּל? הֱוֵי אוֹמֵר בִּשְׁעַת עֲבוֹדָה.

English: The command not to leave the entrance of the Tent of Meeting applies because the anointing oil of Hashem is upon them; Moshe’s instruction was carried out.
