Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 10:3-7

We may well think that when Nadab and Abihu were struck with death all about them were struck with horror, and every face, as well as theirs, gathered blackness. Great consternation, no doubt, seized them, and they were all full of confusion; but, whatever the rest were, Moses was composed, and knew what he said and did, not being displeased, as David was in a like case, 2 Sam. 6:8. But though it touched him in a very tender part, and was a dreadful damp to one of the greatest joys he ever... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 10:10-11

Aaron having been very observant of what God said to him by Moses, now God does him the honour to speak to him immediately (Lev. 10:8): The Lord spoke unto Aaron, and the rather because what was now to be said Aaron might perhaps have taken amiss from Moses, as if he had suspected him to have been a gluttonous man and a wine-bibber, so apt are we to resent cautions as accusations; therefore God saith it himself to him, Do not drink wine, nor strong drink, when you go into the tabernacle, and... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 10:12-20

Moses is here directing Aaron to go on with his service after this interruption. Afflictions should rather quicken us to our duty than take us off from it. Observe (Lev. 10:12), He spoke unto Aaron and to his sons that were left. The notice taken of their survivorship intimates, 1. That Aaron should take comfort under the loss of two of his sons, from this consideration, that God had graciously spared him the other two, and that he had reason to be thankful for the remnant that was left, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 10:6

And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar, and unto Ithamar, his sons ,.... His two younger sons, which yet remained; and so the Septuagint version adds, as in Leviticus 10:12 . uncover not your heads ; that is, do not take off your mitre, as the Septuagint version; or the bonnets which they wore in the time of their ministry; for the Jewish priests always had their mitres and bonnets on when they sacrificed; in imitation of which, the Heathens had their heads covered when they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 10:7

And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die ,.... That is, they were not to relinquish the service of the sanctuary, on the account of the death of these relations of theirs, and through grief for it, but go on in it; not Aaron on account of his children, nor his sons on account of their brethren: from hence, says Ben Gersom, we learn, that whatsoever priest leaves his service, and goes out of the sanctuary, is guilty of death: some think the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 10:8

And the Lord spake unto Aaron ,.... Because he was a prophet, Aben Ezra says; but the reason rather seems to be, because be was the high priest, and now invested with his office, and in the execution of it, and therefore the following law respecting the priest's drinking of wine was given: some say, as the same writer observes, that God spake to him by Moses; but it rather seems that he spoke to Aaron immediately: according to Jarchi, this order was delivered to him as a reward for his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 10:9

Do not drink wine or strong drink ,.... This law following upon the affair of Nadab and Abihu has caused some to think, and not without some reason, that they were drunk with wine or strong drink, when they offered strange fire; and indeed it is hardly to be accounted for upon any other foot that they should do it; but having feasted that day upon the peace offerings, and drank freely, it being the first day of their entrance on their office, they were, it may be supposed, elated and merry,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 10:10

And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy ,.... That being sober they might be able to distinguish between the one and the other; which a drunken man, having his mind and senses disturbed, is not capable of; as between holy and unholy persons, and between holy and unholy things; particularly, as Aben Ezra interprets it, between a sacred place and one that is common, and between a holy day and a common week day; the knowledge and memory of which may be lost through intemperance;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 10:11

And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes ,.... Laws, precepts, ordinances, moral, ceremonial, and judicial, which was the business of the priests to do, Malachi 2:7 but one inebriated with liquor would be incapable of giving instructions about any of those things: which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses : particularly those delivered and recorded in Exodus 20:1 and as not the priests, so neither any other Israelite might instruct F19 Maimon.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 10:12

And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar, and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left ,.... Of the burning, as the Targum of Jonathan; who survived his other two sons that were burnt, who remained alive, not being concerned with them in their sin, and so shared not in their punishment: take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the Lord made by fire ; for all but the handful that was burnt of that kind of offerings belonged to the priests, see Leviticus 6:14 this meat... read more
