The law of eating the holy things 16. Aaron's excuse for transgressing thereof And when Moses heard this explanation Moses, as the leader and mediator between God and the Israelites, often had to make judgments and decisions based on the law given to him. In the context of Leviticus 10, Moses is dealing with the aftermath of the deaths of Nadab and Abihu, who offered unauthorized fire before the Lord. The explanation he hears comes from Aaron, who is justifying why he and his remaining sons did not eat the sin offering. This moment highlights Moses' role as a listener and judge, emphasizing the importance of understanding and applying God's law correctly. It also reflects the tension between strict adherence to ritual and the compassionate understanding of human circumstances. he was satisfied Persons / Places / Events 1. MosesThe leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to deliver His people from Egypt and to guide them through the wilderness. In this context, Moses is the mediator between God and the people, ensuring that God's commands are followed. 2. Aaron The brother of Moses and the first high priest of Israel. He is responsible for the priestly duties and rituals as commanded by God. 3. Nadab and Abihu The sons of Aaron who offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, resulting in their death as a divine judgment for their disobedience. 4. Eleazar and Ithamar The remaining sons of Aaron who are instructed to continue the priestly duties after the death of their brothers. 5. Tabernacle The portable dwelling place for the divine presence of God among the Israelites, where the priests performed their duties. Teaching Points The Importance of ObedienceThe incident with Nadab and Abihu highlights the necessity of following God's commands precisely. Disobedience, especially in worship, can have severe consequences. God's Holiness The event underscores the holiness of God and the need for His people to approach Him with reverence and respect. Leadership and Accountability Moses' role as a leader shows the importance of accountability and discernment in leadership, especially in spiritual matters. Grace and Understanding Moses' acceptance of Aaron's explanation demonstrates the need for grace and understanding in leadership, recognizing human limitations and the heart behind actions. The Role of Intercession Moses acts as an intercessor, a role that points forward to Christ as our ultimate intercessor before God.(20) And . . . he was content.--He acknowledged Aaron's plea to be just, and that he had himself spoken hastily. This is a remarkable instance of Moses' humility, and of the human side of his nature as a lawgiver. (See also Numbers 32:6, &c.) Hence Jewish tradition from time immemorial ascribes the mistake to Moses, and not to Aaron. The paraphrase of this verse in the Palestine Chaldee Version, which embodies the ancient opinions, is very instructive. It is as follows: "And when Moses heard it, he approved of this explanation. Whereupon he sent a herald through the whole camp of Israel, saying, It is I from whom the law had been hid, and my brother Aaron brought it to my remembrance."
