In going without orders. 2. In taking their own censers, instead of using the utensils of the sanctuary. 3. In doin* what none but the high prieat was allowad to do. 4.

Aaron was not permitted to die in his priestly garments, in order that they might be worn by Eleaxar.

0 “Uncover not your head*.” They were to use no sign of grief or mourning. 1. Because those who wren emploved in the service of the sanctuary should avoid everything that might unfit tham for that service. 2. Because the crime of their brethren was so highly provoking to God, and so fnlly merited the punishment which He had inflicted, that their mourning might be considered as a ceasing the Divine Justice of undue severity. It was the law that the priest should never leave the alter or go to burials, or interrupt his sac ted ministry bv shedding tears. "Whole house of Israel.’' All the people were to bewail the burning, not onlv on account of the loas of their priests, but especially because God bad been displeased. "They must bewail the burning kindled, that it might burn no further.
