Contextual Overview

3 Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what the Lord meant when He said, ‘I will show Myself holy among those who are near Me. I will be honored in front of all the people.'" And Aaron said nothing. 4 Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron's father. He said to them, "Come, carry your brothers away from the holy place and away from the tents." 5 So they came and carried them in their coats away from the tents, as Moses had said. 6 Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not take the covering off your heads and do not tear your clothes, so you will not die and God will not be angry with all the people. But your brothers, the whole house of Israel, will cry in sorrow because of the burning the Lord has done. 7 Do not even go out the door of the meeting tent, so you will not die. For the holy oil of the Lord is upon you." And they did what Moses said.

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!
