Commentary on Leviticus 10:3

Theological / Devotional

Then Moses said. The statement to which Moses refers is probably that of Ex. 19:22: “Let the priests . . . sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them.” Apparently the sons of Aaron had not sanctified themselves. Consecration to the priesthood had wrought no change in their hearts; they themselves were still “common.”

Aaron’s pliant and indulgent disposition had been at the root of the difficulty. Qualms of conscience must have overwhelmed him as he thought of his own weakness a few months previously. True, God had forgiven him; God had accepted his sin offering; but the results of his weakness had not been warded off by repentance. He held his peace.
