Leviticus 10:12

EATING THE MOST HOLY THINGS, Leviticus 10:12-20.

12. Take the meat offering The appalling stroke of Jehovah’s wrath had disconcerted Aaron so that he had forgotten the prescribed order of the sacrifices. Moses reminds him that the meat offering follows the burnt offering consumed by celestial fire. Leviticus 9:24. See Introduction, (5.)

And eat it The eating by the priest symbolizes the full acceptance of the oblation. See Leviticus 6:16, note, and Concluding Note (1) of the same chapter.

Beside the altar This was the altar of incense in the priests’ apartment, called the holy place, within the first veil. See chap.

Leviticus 4:7.
