Aaron's excuse for transgressing thereof But Aaron replied to Moses This phrase introduces Aaron's response to Moses, highlighting a moment of tension and explanation. The Hebrew root for "replied" (עָנָה, 'anah) suggests a thoughtful or considered response, indicating Aaron's need to justify his actions. Historically, Aaron, as the high priest, held a significant role in mediating between God and the Israelites, and his reply reflects the weight of his responsibilities and the gravity of the situation. Behold, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD and such things as these have happened to me If I had eaten the sin offering today would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD? They offered their sin offering.--Before proceeding to the transgression with which they are thus charged, Aaron adverts to the fact that all the other sacrificial duties in which he and his sons were engaged on the same day, prior to the great calamity, were performed in strict accordance with the prescribed ritual. His sons assisting him had offered "their"--i.e., the people's--sin and burnt offerings (see Leviticus 9:15-16) thus far in due compliance with the requirements of the law, and hence could never have meant to transgress intentionally. And such things have befallen me.--But whilst he, Eleazar, and Ithamar were thus duly performing the sacrificial rites, Nadab and Abihu, his other two sons, transgressed, and were suddenly struck down dead, thus overwhelming the survivors with sorrow, and rendering them unfit to partake of the sacrifices. And if I had eaten.--Aaron submits that, unfitted as they thus were by mourning and the sense of their own sinfulness, if they had partaken of this solemn meal it would not have been acceptable to the Lord. In consequence of this declaration, the rule obtained during the second Temple, that when an ordinary priest heard of the death of a relative whilst on duty in the sanctuary, he had to cease from service, though he could not leave the precincts of the Temple otherwise he defiled the sacrifice; whilst the high priest, who could continue his sacred ministrations, was not allowed to partake of the sacrificial meal.
