Commentary on Leviticus 10:9
Theological / DevotionalDo not drink. This prohibition suggests the cause of the transgression. It seems hardly reasonable to believe that God would issue such an edict at this time and under these circumstances except to clarify the true cause of the tragedy.
Lest ye die. Death was the most severe penalty that could be meted out, and stressed God’s attitude toward the use of strong drink. The sin of the young men was not a light matter that could be erased by the offering of a sacrifice. It was deliberate, and reflected scorn for sacred things. It was a major sin and deserved drastic punishment.
