Context of Leviticus 10:4
2And there went out fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah. 3And Moses said to Aaron, This is what Jehovah spoke, saying, I will be hallowed in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron was silent. And 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. 6And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons, Your heads shall ye not uncover, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come on all the assembly; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.

- 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?
