A memorial. In explanation of the preceding words, “they shall be a sign” (v. 38).

No stranger. For the transgression of this admonition by Uzziah see 2 Chron. 26:16—19.

As Korah. Lest he meet the same terrible fate.

By the hand of Moses. Moses was the mediator between Eleazar and God (see vs. 36, 37).
