Commentary for Leviticus 10:5

1. **Themes:**
- **Holiness and Reverence:** The verse emphasizes the need to treat the sacred with utmost respect. The bodies of Nadab and Abihu, who were priests and sons of Aaron, are handled with care, removed from the holy area in a dignified manner.
- **Divine Justice:** This event follows the narrative where Nadab and Abihu offer "strange fire" before the Lord, which He had not commanded, leading to their immediate deaths. This serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of not adhering strictly to divine instructions.
- **Obedience to Moses:** The obedience of Aaron's family to Moses' directive underscores the importance of following the leadership appointed by God, as well as adhering to the laws and rituals prescribed by Him.

2. **Historical Context:**
- **The Tabernacle:** The event occurs shortly after the completion of the Tabernacle, the portable dwelling place for God among the Israelites during their journey in the wilderness.
- **Establishment of Priesthood:** Aaron and his sons had been recently consecrated as priests, and this incident is part of the early establishment of the priesthood and its responsibilities.
- **Exodus Period:** This takes place during the time of the Exodus, after the Israelites' liberation from Egypt and before their entry into the Promised Land. It is a formative period for the religious and social laws that will govern the Israelite community.
- **Revelation of God's Laws:** The book of Leviticus is focused on the revelation of God's laws to Moses, including the proper conduct of worship and the responsibilities of the priesthood, which are crucial for maintaining the covenant relationship between God and His people.

In summary, Leviticus 10:5 reflects themes of holiness, divine justice, and obedience within the context of the early establishment of the Israelite priesthood and religious laws during the Exodus period.
