Commentary on Leviticus 10:6

Theological / Devotional

Neither rend your clothes. It was the custom to rend one’s garments in case of great sorrow. This was done by tearing the upper front of the garments, to expose, as it were, the sorrow of the heart. This Aaron and his remaining sons must not do, as it would appear to show displeasure at God’s judgment. Neither were they to bare their heads and present a disheveled appearance, a common Oriental demonstration of sorrow.
