Leviticus 10:4

"Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke of, saying, ‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” Aaron held his peace."

Key Reflection

Moses' words in Leviticus 10:4 emphasize God's demand for holiness and reverence, particularly within the presence of His people. Aaron's silence (וַאֲרִיָּה נֶחְמַד) after hearing this declaration underscores his awareness of the gravity and solemnity of their religious duties, recognizing that divine holiness requires strict adherence to ritual purity and worship protocols.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The first cousins of AaronExodus 6:22are selected by Moses to convey the bodies of Nadab and Abihu out of the camp and bury them, probably because they were the nearest relations who were not priests. SeeNumbers 9:6.
