Bp. Hall says, "It is a dangerous thing, in the service of God, to decline from his institutions; we have to do with a God, who is wise to prescribe his own worship - just to require what he has prescribed - and powerful to avenge what he has not prescribed.ReciprocalExodus 8:27 - as he shall; 19:22 - the priests; 30:20 - die not; Leviticus 1:7 - fire; 8:35 - keep; Numbers 4:18 - General; 20:11 - smote; 1 Samuel 6:19 - he smote; 2 Samuel 6:7 - God smote; 1 Chronicles 6:3 - Nadab; 13:10 - there he died; 23:13 - to burn incense; 24:1 - The sons; Job 36:14 - They die; Psalm 119:120 - My flesh; Ezekiel 22:26 - put no; Acts 5:1 - General; 1 Corinthians 11:27 - whosoever; Habakkuk 2:2 - every

This fire, which destroyed the sacrificers, came from the same source with that which had consumed the sacrifices. See note on Leviticus 9:24.

They died.

The wages of sin is death.

They died suddenly.

They died before the Lord; that is, before the vail that covered the mercy-seat.

They died by fire, as by fire they sinned.

The fire did not burn them to ashes, as it had done the sacrifices, nor so much as singe their coats - 10:5 but struck them dead in an instant. By these different effects of the same fire, we learn that it was no common fire, but kindled by the breath of the Almighty.

So St. Jerome informs us, that sicera in Hebrew denotes any inebriating liquor, whether made of corn, the juice of apples, honey, dates, or any other fruit. These different kinds of liquors are described by Pliny, who calls then vina factitia. One of the four prohibited drinks among the Mohammedans in India is called sakar, which denotes inebriating liquor in general, but especially date wine.it shall beLeviticus 3:17ReciprocalGenesis 40:11 - pressed; Luke 21:34 - your hearts Verse 10Leviticus 11:47, 20:25, 20:26; Jeremiah 15:19; Ezekiel 22:26, 44:23; Titus 1:15; 1 Peter 1:14-16ReciprocalGenesis 7:2 - not; Leviticus 13:3 - shall look; 14:57 - teach; 1 Chronicles 23:13 - sanctify; Proverbs 31:4 - General; Isaiah 28:7 - erred; Ezekiel 42:20 - a separation; Haggai 2:11 - General; Acts 11:8 - unclean Verse 11Deuteronomy 24:8, 33:10; 2 Chronicles 17:9, 30:22; Nehemiah 8:2, 8:8, 9:13, 9:14; Jeremiah 2:8, 18:18; Malachi 2:7; Matthew 28:20; Acts 20:27; 1 Thessalonians 4:2ReciprocalLeviticus 23:14 - it shall be; 2 Chronicles 15:3 - a teaching; 33:8 - by the hand; 34:14 - Moses; Nehemiah 8:7 - caused; Ezekiel 44:23 - General; Haggai 2:11 - General Verse 12TakeLeviticus 2:1-16, 6:15-18, 7:9, 21:22; Exodus 29:2; Numbers 18:9, 18:10; Ezekiel 44:29 for it is mostLeviticus 21:22ReciprocalExodus 28:1 - Nadab; 29:32 - Aaron; Leviticus 2:3 - the remnant; 2:4 - the oven; 6:16 - shall it; 1 Chronicles 6:3 - Nadab; 24:2 - Eleazar; 2 Chronicles 31:14 - the most; Ezra 7:5 - Eleazar Verse 13ye shallNumbers 18:10 for so ILeviticus 2:3, 6:16ReciprocalExodus 29:25 - offering; 29:33 - eat those; Numbers 5:9 - offering; 15:3 - will make; 18:9 - every meat; 2 Chronicles 31:14 - the most; Ezekiel 42:13 - they be holy Verse 14Leviticus 7:29-34, 9:21; Exodus 29:24-28; Numbers 18:11; John 4:34ReciprocalExodus 29:22 - right shoulder; 29:28 - Aaron's; Leviticus 7:32 - General; 7:34 - the wave; 22:13 - as in her; 23:11 - General; 23:20 - holy to; Numbers 18:8 - the charge; 1 Samuel 2:28 - did I give; Ezekiel 42:13 - they be holy Verse 15heave shoulderLeviticus 7:29, 7:30, 7:34 for ever7:34; Genesis 13:15, 17:8, 17:13, 17:17; 1 Corinthians 9:13, 9:14ReciprocalExodus 29:27 - the breast; 29:28 - Aaron's; Leviticus 23:20 - holy to; Numbers 6:20 - the priest shall; 18:8 - the charge; 1 Samuel 2:28 - did I give Verse 16the goatLeviticus 6:26, 6:30, 9:3, 9:15 angryExodus 32:19-22; Numbers 12:3; Matthew 5:22; Mark 3:5, 10:14; Ephesians 4:26ReciprocalExodus 29:34 - burn; Leviticus 3:12 - a goat; 7:17 - burnt; Numbers 31:14 - wroth; 2 Kings 13:19 - was wroth; 1 Chronicles 6:3 - Nadab; 6:50 - Eleazar; Ezra 7:5 - Eleazar Verse 17WhereforeLeviticus 6:26, 6:29, 7:6, 7:7 to bear16:22, 22:16; Exodus 28:38, 28:43; Numbers 18:1; Isaiah 53:6-11; Ezekiel 4:4-6; 18:19, 18:20; John 1:29; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Habakkuk 3:1; 1 Peter 2:24ReciprocalLeviticus 5:15 - in the; 7:18 - bear; 8:31 - eat it; 14:13 - as the sin; 24:9 - they shall; Numbers 18:9 - every sin; 18:10 - In the; 1 Chronicles 23:13 - sanctify; Ezra 2:63 - should not; Nehemiah 7:65 - that they should; Ezekiel 42:13 - they be holy Verse 18the bloodLeviticus 6:30 as I commanded6:26, 6:30Reciprocal5:15 - in the; 1 Chronicles 23:13 - sanctify; Ezra 2:63 - should not; Nehemiah 7:65 - that they should Verse 19this dayLeviticus 9:8, 9:12; Habakkuk 3:1, 3:1 shouldDeuteronomy 12:7, 26:14; 1 Samuel 1:7, 1:8; Isaiah 1:11, 1:15; Jeremiah 6:20, 14:12; Hosea 9:4; Malachi 1:10, 1:13, 2:13; Philippians 4:4ReciprocalLeviticus 7:18 - it shall; Acts 11:18 - they held Verse 20he was content2 Chronicles 30:18-20; Zechariah 7:8, 7:9; Matthew 12:3-7, 12:20Reciprocal1 Chronicles 6:49 - Aaron; Acts 11:18 - they held
