Leviticus 10
1. Aadab and Abihu, for offering strange fire, are burnt by fire

8. The priests are forbidden wine when they are to go into the tabernacle
12. The law of eating the holy things

(16) And Moses diligently sought the goat.--That is, the flesh of the goat of the sin offering which was offered by the nation on the eighth day. (See Leviticus 9:15.)

And, behold, it was burnt.--Being overwhelmed with grief at the loss of their brothers, Eleazar and Ithamar could not eat, and as none but priests were allowed to partake of the flesh of the sin offering, they burnt it on the altar, to prevent its corruption. They did this all the more readily since the flesh of Aaron's sin offering was just before burnt without the camp. (See Leviticus 9:11.)

And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar.--As it was Aaron's duty quite as much as his two sons to eat of the flesh, Moses probably omitted to mention his name, because he wished to spare the honour of the pontiff in the sight of the people.
