Contextual Overview

3 Moshe said to Aharon, "This is what Adonai said: ‘Through those who are near me I will be consecrated, and before all the people I will be glorified.'" Aharon kept silent. 4 Moshe called Misha'el and Eltzafan, sons of ‘Uzi'el Aharon's uncle, and told them, "Come here, and carry your cousins away from in front of the sanctuary to a place outside the camp." 5 They approached and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moshe had said. 6 Then Moshe told Aharon and his sons El‘azar and Itamar, "Don't unbind your hair or tear your clothes in mourning, so that you won't die and so that Adonai won't be angry with the entire community. Rather, let your kinsmen — the whole house of Isra'el — mourn, because of the destruction Adonai brought about with his fire. 7 Moreover, don't leave the entrance to the tent of meeting, or you will die, because Adonai 's anointing oil is on you."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So they went near,.... To the place where the bodies lay, having an order from Moses so to do, let them have been where they will;

and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said; or bid them do; they took them up in their clothes as they found them, and carried them in them; not that these men carried them in their own coats, but in the coats of the dead, as Jarchi expresses it; and had them without the camp, and there buried them, probably in their coats in which they had sinned, and in which they died: the Targum of Jonathan says, they carried them on iron hooks in their coats, and buried them without the camp.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Coats - See Exodus 28:39. Life had been extinguished as if by a flash of lightning, but neither the bodies nor the dresses were destroyed.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Leviticus 10:5. Carried them in their coats out of the camp — The modern impropriety of burying the dead within towns, cities, or places inhabited, had not yet been introduced; much less that abomination, at which both piety and common sense shudder, burying the dead about and even within places dedicated to the worship of God!
