Leviticus 10:6,7 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Observe the workings of grace. Nature dared not complain: the deed was the LORD'S, and that was enough to prove the rectitude of it. This stopped the mouth of Eli, 1 Samuel 3:18. The same consideration was urged to Job. Job 8:4. Reader! the best way to ascertain the real regard we have to the LORD, is not only to acquiesce in things when all is smooth and even, but when the LORD'S will thwarts our will. Then to desire GOD'S glory, though in the accomplishment of it everything looks black around us; this is grace, and grace in blessed exercise. That was a precious frame of mind in Nehemiah 9:32-33.

Leviticus 10:6-7

6 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.

7 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.
