'He slew also the bullock and the ram 
.. for a sacrifice of peace offerings, 
.... which was for the people: 
and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, 
.. which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, 
.. and that which covereth the inwards, 
.... and the kidneys, 
...... and the caul above the liver:
And they put the fat upon the breasts, 
.. and he burnt the fat upon the altar:'
(Leviticus 9:18-20)  

Praise God!

 'And the breasts and the right shoulder 
.. Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; 
.... as Moses commanded.
And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, 
.. and blessed them, 
.... and came down from offering of the sin offering, 
...... and the burnt offering, 
........ and peace offerings.
And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, 
.. and came out, and blessed the people: 
.... and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
And there came a fire out from before the LORD, 
... and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: 
.... which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.'
(Leviticus 9:21-24) 

Praise God!

The Death of Nadab and Abihu

And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer,

and put fire therein,

and put incense thereon,

and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.

And there went out fire from the LORD,

and devoured them,

and they died before the LORD.

Leviticus 10:1-2

Next to Moses and Aaron, none were more likely to be honourable in Israel than Nadab and Abihu. There is reason to think that they were puffed up with pride, and that they were heated with wine.

While the people were prostrate before the Lord, adoring his presence and glory, they rushed into the tabernacle to burn incense, though not at the appointed time; both together, instead of one alone, and with fire not taken from the altar.

If it had been done through ignorance, they had been allowed to bring a sin-offering. But the soul that doeth presumptuously, and in contempt of God's majesty and justice, that soul shall be cut off.

The wages of sin is death. They died in the very act of their sin.

Matthew Henry Bible Commentary

 

[Guest In Him]

Then Moses said unto Aaron,

This is it that the LORD spake, saying,

I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me,

and before all the people I will be glorified.

And Aaron held his peace.

Leviticus 10:3

 

The most quieting considerations under affliction are fetched from the word of God. What was it that God spake?

Though Aaron's heart must have been filled with anguish and dismay, yet with silent submission he revered the justice of the stroke.

When God corrects us for sin, it is our duty to accept the punishment, and say, It is the Lord, let him do what seemeth him good.

Whenever we worship God, we come nigh unto him, as spiritual priests. This ought to make us very serious in all acts of devotion.

It concerns us all, when we come nigh to God, to do every religious exercise, as those who believe that the God with whom we have to do, is a holy God.

He will take vengeance on those that profane his sacred name by trifling with him.

[Guest In Him]

And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan,

the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them,

     Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

So they went near and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.

And Moses said unto Aaron,

and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons,

     Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes;

     lest ye die,

     and lest wrath come upon all the people:

     but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel,

     bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled,

     And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

     lest ye die:

     for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you.

And they did according to the word of Moses.

Leviticus 10:5-7

[Guest In Him]

And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,

Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee,

when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation,

lest ye die:

it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy,

and between unclean and clean;

And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

Leviticus 10:9-11

And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:

And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire: for so I am commanded.

(Leviticus 10:12-13)

[turtletwo]

And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.

 

The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the Lord hath commanded.

(Leviticus 10:14-15)

[turtletwo]

And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,

Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and *God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?

 

(Leviticus 10:16-17)

 

*God  hath given it to you, to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord? for by eating the sin offering, or sin itself, as it is in the original text, see Hosea 4:8 they made the sins of the people, for whom the offering was, in some sense their own; and they bore them, and made a typical atonement for them; in which they were types of Christ, who was made sin for his people, took their sins upon him, and by imputation they were made his own, and he bore them in his own body on the tree, and made full satisfaction and atonement for them. Now since the eating of the sin offering of the people was of so great importance and consequence, the neglect of it by the priests was very blameworthy.

[turtletwo]

Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.

 

And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?

 

And when Moses heard that, he was content.

 

(Leviticus 10: 18-20)

 

 

 

 

Verse 18 

Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place,.... When that was the case, indeed, the flesh of the sin offering was not to be eaten, but burnt, see Leviticus 6:30 but this was not the case now, and therefore its flesh should have been eaten, and not burnt:

ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded, Leviticus 6:26.
