Context of Leviticus 10:3
1And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, took each of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and presented strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them. 2And there went out fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.

And Aaron was silent. 4And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. 5And they went near, and carried them in their vests out of the camp, as Moses had said.

Commentaries on Leviticus 10:3
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3And Aaron held his peace - אהרן וידם vaiyiddom Aharon, and Aaron was dumb. How elegantly expressive is this of his parental affection, his deep sense of the presumption of his sons, and his own submission to the justice of God! The flower and hope of his family was nipped in the bud and blasted; and while he exquisitely feels as a father, he submits without murmuring to this awful dispensation of Divine justice. It is an awful thing to introduce…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3Rather, I will sanctify myself in them that come near to me (i. e. the priests), and I will glorify myself before all the people. The words used by Moses on this occasion are not found elsewhere in the Pentateuch. But the sense is implied in such passages as Exodus 19:22; Exodus 28:41; Exodus 29:1, Exodus 29:44. Aaron‘s silence (compare Psalm 39:9) on this occasion may be compared with his reasonable and natural expostulation with Moses when his surviving…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 3-7Verses 3-7 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 or ours 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…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3God's holiness is central to his character, different from the world of creatures. By acting recklessly, Nadab and Abihu ignored God's holiness and did not honor him.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 33. Moses said ... This is it that the Lord spoke ... I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me--"They that come nigh me," points, in this passage, directly to the priests; and they had received repeated and solemn warnings as to the cautious and reverent manner of their approach into the divine presence (Ex 19:22; 29:44; Le 8:35). Aaron held his peace--The loss of two sons in so sudden and awful a manner was a calamity overwhelming to parental…Read the comment
