Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Lord spake unto Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron,.... That is, either immediately after their death, and so this chapter would have stood in its natural order next to the tenth; or else after the above laws concerning uncleanness on various accounts were delivered out, designed to prevent the people entering into the tabernacle defiled, whereby they would have incurred the penalty of death; wherefore, as Aben Ezra observes, after the Lord had given cautions to the Israelites, that they might not die, he bid Moses to caution Aaron also, that he might not die as his sons died; these were Nadab and Abihu:
when they offered before the Lord, and died; offered strange fire, and died by flaming fire, as the Targum of Jonathan; or fire sent down from heaven, as Gersom, by lightning; see Leviticus 10:1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The reference to the death of Nadab and Abihu is a notice of the occasion on which the instructions were given, well calculated to add point and emphasis to the solemn admonition to the high priest in the second verse. The death of his sons Leviticus 10:2, for drawing near to Yahweh in an unauthorized manner, was to serve as a warning to Aaron himself never to transgress in this respect.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVI
The solemn yearly expiation for the high priest, who must not
come at all times into the holy place, 1, 2.
He must take a bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a
burnt-offering, bathe himself, and be dressed in his sacerdotal
robes, 3, 4.
He shall take two goats, one of which is to be determined by
lot to be a sacrifice; the other to be a scapegoat, 5-10.
He shall offer a bullock for himself and for his family, 11-14.
And shall kill the goat as a sin-offering for the people, and
sprinkle its blood upon the mercy-seat, and hallow the altar of
burnt-offerings, 15-19.
The scapegoat shall be then brought, on the head of which he
shall lay his hands, and confess the iniquities of the children
of Israel; after which the goat shall be permitted to escape to
the wilderness, 20-22.
After this Aaron shall bathe himself, and make a burnt-offering
for himself and for the people, 23-28.
This is to be an everlasting statute, and the day on which the
atonement is to be made shall be a Sabbath, or day of rest,
through all their generations, 29-34.
NOTES ON CHAP. XVI
Verse Leviticus 16:1. After the death of the two sons of Aaron — It appears from this verse that the natural place of this chapter is immediately after the tenth, where probably it originally stood; but the transposition, if it did take place, must be very ancient, as all the versions acknowledge this chapter in the place in which it now stands.
