Wesley's Notes

3:4 In the sight of Aaron - Under his inspection and direction, and as their father's servants or ministers in the priest's office.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:1-13 There was much work belonging to the priests' office, and there were now only Aaron and his two sons to do it; God appoints the Levites to attend them. Those whom God finds work for, he will find help for. The Levites were taken instead of the first-born. When He that made us, saves us, as the first-born of Israel were saved, we are laid under further obligations to serve him faithfully. God's right to us by redemption, confirms the right he has to us by creation.


Leviticus 10:1 Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans, and after putting fire in them, placed incense on it and offered strange fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them.
Leviticus 10:2 And fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.
Numbers 26:61 But Nadab and Abihu died when they offered strange fire before the LORD. (NASB ©1995)
