Hi Paul. That phrase you quoted, that appears in verse 22 also, indicates what the LORD would do to anyone (whether priest or another), if they should overstep the bounds that He set for them. Only Moses & Aaron were entitled to approach God, at which time God would converse with Moses (Aaron might have been at the base of Mt. Sinai). That is why the people trembled, for it meant instant judgement & death for any disobedience.
