Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

9 And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the L ORD made by fire by a perpetual statute. Care is here taken, and orders are given, for the decent furnishing of the candlestick and table in God's house.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death--These verses contain a repetition of some other laws, relating to offenses of a social nature, the penalties for which were to be inflicted, not by the hand of private parties, but through the medium of the judges before whom the cause was brought.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

He that killeth - This law is repeated here, to prevent the mischievous effects of men's striving together, which as here it caused blasphemy, so it might in others lead to murder.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
