Leviticus 10:7

“And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die, etc.] That is, they were not to relinquish the service of the sanctuary, on the account of the death of these relations of theirs, and through grief for it, but go on in it; not Aaron on account of his children, nor his sons on account of their brethren: from hence, says Ben Gersom, we learn, that whatsoever priest leaves his service, and goes out of the sanctuary, is guilty of death: some think the seven days of consecration were not quite over, during which time Aaron and his sons were obliged to continue there, on pain of death, (<030833>Leviticus 8:33,35) but it is pretty plain those days were over,…”

“Aaron and his two surviving sons are forbidden to show the accustomed signs of mourning, or to leave the court of the tabernacle in order to attend the funeral, because, from their office, they were especially concerned as consecrated priests in outwardly maintaining the honor of Yahweh. They were to bear visible testimony to the righteousness of the punishment of Nadab and Abihu. The people, on the other hand, as not formally standing so near to Yahweh, were permitted to “bewail” as an acknowledgment that the nation had a share in the sin of its priests. (Compare 1 Corinthians 12:26.) Leviticus 10:6 Uncover not your heads - Or, “set free ... let go loose.” It was a custom to let the hair…”

“Ye shall not go from the tabernacle - Where at this time they were, because this happened within seven days of their consecration. The oil of the Lord is upon you - You are persons consecrated peculiarly to God's service, which therefore it is just you should prefer before all funeral solemnities. Leviticus 10:9”

“10:7 must not leave: Eleazar and Ithamar were not to attend the funeral. • the Lord’s anointing oil: Because they had recently been anointed as priests (see 7:36), they were to avoid any association with the dead.”

“ye shall: Lev 21:12; Mat 8:21, Mat 8:22; Luk 9:60 the anointing: Lev 8:12, Lev 8:30; Exo 28:41, Exo 30:30, Exo 40:13-15; Act 10:38; Co2 1:21 Leviticus 10:9”

“The latter were not to go away from the door (the entrance or court of the tabernacle), sc., to take part in the burial of the dead, lest they should die, for the anointing oil of Jehovah was upon them. The anointing oil was the symbol of the Spirit of God, which is a Spirit of life, and therefore has nothing in common with death, but rather conquers death, and sin, which is the source of death (cf. Lev 21:12). Leviticus 10:8”
