    Brief Summary: Non-Priests/Levites serving in the Temple will die, the same way Korach's followers died (Nu16-35,Nu18-03)

Verse Nu01-51c discussing that non-priests/levites inappropriately coming near Temple will die states And when the tabernacle is to set forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death Rashi clarifies the underlined words death by referencing verse(s) Nu16-35, Nu18-03 which states ###### Hence the Rashi comment: As the underlined words show, the statement in Nu01-51c that the stranger who comes near shall be put to death cross references the death penalty mentioned in Nu18-03 for improper coming near which is consistent with the death at the hands of God that befell the followers of Korach who improperly came near to God.

Text of Target verse Nu01-15c Text of Reference Verse Nu16-35, Nu18-03
And when the tabernacle is to set forward, the Levites shall take it down; and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up; and the stranger who comes near shall be put to death ######
Rashi comments: As the underlined words show, the statement in Nu01-51c that the stranger who comes near shall be put to death cross references the death penalty mentioned in Nu18-03 for improper coming near which is consistent with the death at the hands of God that befell the followers of Korach who improperly came near to God.
