利未记 10:1-3 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 10:1-2

The sinfulness of man mars the full effect of the good purposes of God on the very day of the consecration of the priests. I. THE SIN OF NADAB AND ABIHU . Presumption. They chose their own method of returning thanks and giving praise to God, a method unsanctioned by God's command, unauthorized by their official superiors. II. THEIR PUNISHMENT . Death. We might have thought that a lesser penalty would have sufficed for such a sin, if we had not had their example... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 10:1-2

Disobedience swiftly punished. What a contrast between the two scenes! Aaron and Moses entering the tabernacle and returning to bless the people and to participate in the rejoicing caused by the appearance of God's glory, and Nadab and Abihu approaching the same sacred place only to be consumed by the fire of judgment, their offerings rejected, themselves destroyed! The judgments of God are not pleasing to contemplate, but they are necessary to completeness of view, and to the begetting in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 10:1-3

Sin and penalty in sacred things. The story of the guilt and doom of the sons of Aaron constitutes a sad episode in the recital of the sacred precepts of the Law. We look at— 1. THE CHARACTER OF THE TRANSGRESSION . It appears (from Leviticus 10:16 , compared with Le Leviticus 9:15 ) that this forbidden act was done very soon indeed after the solemnities described in the preceding chapter (9). Otherwise we should have inferred that it was familiarity with sacred rites... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 10:1-3

Strange fire. "I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me." Great and small things in the worship of God. Doubtless it seemed to Nadab and Abihu a matter of no consequence at all that they should take fire from one altar rather than from another. To us it may seem a comparatively small thing, when viewed in connection with the terrible doom that immediately ensued. Obviously, however, it was a great thing in the sight of God. The act of punishment by which he showed his high... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 10:1-7

Nadab and Abihu, When the fire of God came upon the sacrifices, "the people shouted, and fell on their faces." While thus in an attitude of prayer, Nadab and Abihu snatched their censers, put fire into them, and put incense upon the fire, as though to send up the prayers of the people to God. In this they sinned, and in consequence paid a fearful penalty. Let us consider— I. THE NATURE OF THEIR SIN . We are told: 1 . That they offered strange fire to God. 2 . That... read more
