“And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:”
Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, take the grain offering left over from the food offerings presented to the Lord and eat it beside the altar, for it is most holy. The practical administration of the offering system continues immediately after the deaths of Nadab and Abihu: Moses instructs Aaron and his remaining sons on the handling of the grain offering portions. The most holy grain offering must be eaten beside the altar — within the sacred precinct where the most holy food belongs. The ministry does not pause for grief; the offerings that have been brought must be properly handled. The continuity of the priestly service through personal loss communicates the nature of the vocation: the priest serves God continuously, not only when circumstances are favorable.
