Leviticus 10

2. A divine worship, which we give to God, is his prerogative-royal (Nehemiah 8:6): They bowed their heads, and worshipped the Lord with their faces towards the ground. This divine worship God is very jealous of; this is the apple of his eye, this is the pearl of his crown which…

Where idolatry is forbidden, there is forbidden superstition, or bringing any innovation into God's worship which he has not appointed. As the sons of Aaron were forbidden to worship an idol, so to sacrifice to God with strange fire (Leviticus 10:1). Mixture in sacred things is…

This is very provoking to God, because it reflects much upon his honor, as if he were not wise enough to appoint the manner of his own worship. God hates all strange fire to be offered in his temple (Leviticus 10:1). A ceremony may in time bring to a crucifix.

Though they have God in their mouths, they have the Devil in their hearts. It is a wonder that fire does not come out from the Lord and consume them, as it did Nadab and Abihu (Leviticus 10:2). 4. We take God's name in vain, when we worship him with our lips, but not our hearts;…

6. We hallow and sanctify God's name when we give him a holy and spiritual worship. 1. We give him the same kind of worship that he has appointed (Leviticus 10:3): I will be sanctified of all that come near to me; that is, I will be sanctified with that very worship I have appoi…

If Moses had left out anything in the pattern, or added anything to it, it would have been very provoking; to mix anything of our own devising in God's worship, is to go beside, indeed, contrary to the pattern: God's worship is the apple of his eye, that which he is most tender…

Q. 1. What does God require of us in our dependance on him, that he may be glorified by us, and we accepted with him? Answ. That we (a) worship him (b) in and by the ways of his own appointment. (a) Matthew 4:10. Revelation 14:7. Deuteronomy 6:13. chap. 10:20. (b) Leviticus 10:1…

(5) Exodus 20:5; Deuteronomy 4:23, 24; Joshua 24:19; Ezekiel 16. (6) Leviticus 10:1, 2; Numbers 16:3, 8, 9, 32, 35; 1 Samuel 2:28, 29; 2 Samuel 6:6, 7; 2 Chronicles 26:16, 19; 1 Corinthians 11:30. Explication.

And 4. To testify and confirm our mutual love, as we are believers. (1.) Leviticus 10:3; Hebrews 12:28, 29. (2.) Deuteronomy 26:17; Joshua 24:22; 2 Corinthians 8:5.

Qu. 8. How many we sanctify the name of God in the use of Gospel institutions? Answ. 1. By a holy reverence of his sovereign authority appointing of them. 2. A holy regard to his special presence in them. 3. Faith in his promises annexed to them. 4. Delight in his will, wisdom,…

The high priest was to take fire from the altar whenever he offered incense (Leviticus 16:12). And therefore when Nadab and Abihu offered common fire of their own kindling (Leviticus 10:1), they were consumed for thinking to please God with it. Now all these things fell out in t…

It quencheth the gifts of the holy Spirit; because it has no spiritual employment for prayer nor praise in his spiritual house (1 Peter 2:5). God is so jealous of his glory, that he cannot endure his worship should be corrupted with the least mixture of man: Nadab and Abihu, for…

So dealt in this matter the holy men and prophets of old (1 Peter 1:10, 11). And as for want hereof, the whole church of the Jews perished at this season; so in all ages sundry particular persons did wofully miscarry; see Leviticus 10:1, 2, 3; 2 Samuel 6:6, 7; 1 Chronicles 14:11…

With reference thereunto does the Apostle reflect on the Levitical institutions, in those words, Touch not, Taste not, Handle not, which all are to perish with their using (Colossians 2:21, 22), are all carnal things. (2) The portion of the priests out of the sacrifices, especia…

Moreover, where-ever in the Old Testament [⟨ in non-Latin alphabet ⟩] is translated by [⟨ in non-Latin alphabet ⟩] in the LXX, as Numbers 14:33, Isaiah 53:12, or by [⟨ in non-Latin alphabet ⟩] with reference to sin, it constantly signifies to bear the punishment of it. Yes, it d…

And all that believe in Christ are sanctified, that is, set apart from sin to serve God. In like manner God's name is hallowed, when it is put apart from oblivion, contempt, profanation, pollution, blasphemy, and all abuses to a holy, reverent, and honorable use, whether we thin…

Partly in malice and spite to men, God is a jealous God; Satan knows that corruptions of worship do not go unrevenged (Psalm 16:4). Sorrows shall be multiplied on them that hasten after another God, of all sinners they shall not escape; the severest revenges of God have been occ…

Labor also to get up your heart due apprehensions of the greatness of God, such as Abraham had (Genesis 18:27): 'I, who am but dust and ashes, have taken upon me to speak to God.' And lastly, remember the jealousy of God, how tender he is over his worship (Leviticus 10:3): 'And…

Is any wrong done to them or to us by this? Aaron's two sons were cut off in an act of sin by the Lord's immediate hand, and yet he held his peace (Leviticus 10:3). God told Abraham plainly that the covenant would not be established with Ishmael, for whom he so earnestly prayed:…

With many Additions in every Page, marked with the letter A. Five Books of Mr Jer. Burroughs lately published: As also the Texts of Scripture upon which they are grounded, namely: - 1. The rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, on Philippians 4:11. Wherein is shewed: 1 What Conten…

Thirdly, it was to note this, That God would have cheerfulness in his service, and therefore the bread of mourners is accounted polluted. In (Leviticus 10:19) we read of Aaron when there was such an occasion of mourning as ever was almost for a man, for the death of his children…

(Psalm 37:7): be silent to Jehovah. Consider the example of Aaron (Leviticus 10:3), of David (Psalm 39:9), of the Jews (Acts 11:18). The sixth: in all things we do or suffer, we must depend on the goodness, providence, and mercy of God, for the success of our labors, and for eas…

What follows immediately afterwards, he shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, must not be understood to mean that John's abstemiousness was a singular virtue, but that God was pleased to distinguish his servant by this visible token, by which the world would acknowledge him…

The law did not, indeed, forbid a priest to enter his house, but, as it did not permit those who ate the show-bread to come near their wives, (1 Samuel 21:4,) and as many persons were disposed to treat sacred things in an irreverent manner, this was probably discovered to be a r…

This belongs to the keeping of our foot when we go to the house of God (Ecclesiastes 5:1), namely, to consider what we are to do, whither we are going, to whom we make our approaches, in the solemn worship of God. The rule which he gives (Leviticus 10:3) is moral, perpetual or e…

Numbers 15:23, 26. And still God is respected as he who is offended, and is to be reconciled; as it is expressed, Leviticus 10:17. [⟨in non-Latin alphabet⟩], shall make atonement for them before the Lord.

20. That we love our neighbor (Leviticus 19:18). 21. That we love a Stranger (Leviticus 10:19). 22. That weights and measures, and scales be exact (Leviticus 19:36).

Deuteronomy of the first sort 34, of the latter 379, in all 669. Besides they observe the number of the verses at the end of every book: as also that [in non-Latin alphabet] in [in non-Latin alphabet] Leviticus 11:42 is the middle letter of the Law; [in non-Latin alphabet], Levi…

Why is it here called the fire of God? Some conceive it is called the fire of God, because sent from God: that is ascribed to God, which comes from God, as that (Genesis 19:24) where it is said, that the Lord did rain fire and brimstone upon Sodom out of Heaven from the Lord, or…

And unto this end is all worship designed, namely to give glory unto God. For as God has said, that he will be sanctified in all that draw nigh unto him, that is in his worship, and that therein he will be glorified, Leviticus 10:3. and that he that offers him praise, that is pe…

God has opened his mouth, and spoken terribly, but let London shut her mouth, because God has spoken righteously; God has spoken with a loud voice, let London be in deep silence; I was dumb, I opened not my mouth, says David, because you did it (Psalm 39:9). When Nadab and Abihu…

'Tis to kiss the rod, and even to accept of the punishment of our iniquity; taking all in good part that God does: Not daring to strive with our Maker, no, nor desiring to prescribe to him, but dumb and not opening the mouth because God does it. How meek was Aaron under the seve…

And indeed the purity of his nature, if it be everywhere contrary to all sinful impurity, it cannot but most appear in his peculiar dwelling house, that he will have neat and clean. If he hate sin all the world over, where its nearest him he hates it most, and testifies his hatr…

But much more is this tendency of grace to reveal itself in our solemn sequestration of ourselves, when we make our nearer approaches to him. (Leviticus 10:3) I will be sanctified in them that come near me, and before all the people will I be glorified. What is it to sanctify Go…

1. Duties of religion will not reverently and seriously be performed unless there be a deep awe of God upon our souls. God will be sanctified in all that draw near to him (Leviticus 10:3). Now what is it to sanctify God in our hearts, but to fear his majesty, and greatness, and…

It is a zeal that makes the glory of God its chief end, which swallows up all by-ends, The zeal of your house, has eaten me up (John 2:17). But now all zeal is not this kind of zeal, there is a false zeal, as well as a true, every grace has its counterfeit, as there is fire, whi…

(4.) There is a word that notes to be silent, not to speak, not to move (Joshua 10:12-13): the Sun was silent, it moved not. It notes a godly submission that the soul dare not speak against God (Psalm 37:7): rest in the Lord — [reconstructed: be subject to] JEHOVAH; LXX: sub dit…

God foretold the death of Eli's sons, 1 Samuel 2. 34. In one day they shall die both of them; but how patiently did he take this sad news, 1 Samuel 3. 18. It is the Lord, let him do what seemeth him good: See the difference between Eli and Pharaoh, Pharaoh says, who is the Lord?…

But though all, with this Simon, are not thus kept out, yet God shows his dislike of them some other ways, either cashiering them with great disgrace, or else making both them and their ministry vile and contemptible. For the Lord will be sanctified in them that come near him, i…

The Apostle cautions us, that in dealing with God, we should use reverence and godly fear, because of his purity, holiness, and majesty (Hebrews 12:28, 29). And this is that which the Lord himself spake in the destruction of Nadab and Abihu, I will be sanctified in them that com…

4. Christ was a ransom or a price of redemption for us (Matthew 20:28; 1 Timothy 2:6; 1 Corinthians 6:20), and this does imply that the punishment of our sins was laid upon him. 5. Christ was a sacrifice for us, or for our sins (Hebrews 9:26, 28; Hebrews 10:12; John 1:29; Matthe…

So, (Exodus 28:38) a miter shall be on Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, Hebrew: [in non-Latin alphabet], Venasa signifies to carry, or as the 70 translate it, [in non-Latin alphabet], Aaron shall take away, or, bear the punishment of the vio…

It's a sign of conformity with Christ, when we have a will so mortified, as it does lie level with God's providence. Aaron's sons are killed, and that by God immediately from heaven with fire, a judgment very hell-like (Leviticus 10:3). And Aaron held his peace, a will lying in…

Secondly, in all events that come to pass, evermore in patience and silence he must submit himself, to the good will and pleasure of God. Thus it is said of Aaron, that when God had destroyed his sons, for offering up strange fire before him, he held his peace (Leviticus 10:3).…

So soon as the Prophet Isaiah was sanctified by God to his office, then he addressed himself and not before, and said, Lord, I am here (Isaiah 6:8), and so we ourselves, before we can perform any acceptable duty to God, must be purged and cleansed. The sons of Aaron would not do…

(5) Because, God commanded believers under the law to offer typical sacrifices for making a propitiation for such sins, and Christ did really by his own precious blood purge them away — for by no less price could they be purged, he being made a curse for them, that he might libe…
