Lev 10:4 | MHM | STEP | v. 4-5 : Moses gave instructions for the bodies of Nadab and Abihu. Their own family, cousins from the tribe of Levi, carried them out of the camp for burial. The priests themselves did not touch the bodies, because they had to continue God’s work without being distracted. The people saw the priests’ special clothes used as burial clothes, which showed that even being a priest could not protect someone from God’s anger if they disobeyed (Leviticus 10:4-5; Exodus 24:1 ; 1 Samuel 6:20 ).
