Leviticus 10:4 - John Wesley's Notes

Leviticus 10:4

2 So ^afire went out from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

3 And Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke, saying:
‘By those ^awho come near Me
I must be regarded as holy;
And before all the people
I must be glorified.’ ” So Aaron held his peace.

4 Then Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Come near, ^acarry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”

5 So they went near and carried them by their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.

6 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, “Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, lest you die, and ^awrath come upon all the people. But let your brethren, the whole house of Israel,² bewail the burning which the Lord has kindled.

Leviticus 10:4

Moses called Mishael - For Aaron and his sons were employed in their holy ministrations, from which they were not called for funeral solemnities. Brethren - That is, kinsmen, as that word is oft used. Out of the camp - Where the burying - places of the Jews were, that the living might neither be annoyed by the unwholesome scent of the dead, nor defiled by the touch of their graves.
