Aaron’s oldest two sons were consumed by fire and died before the Lord (10:1-2). “…Aaron remained silent” (10:3b).
When I read those words I felt Aaron’s pain. Consecrated before the people, no doubt his sons felt proud; dad probably smiled as his sons were honored. Days later they are taken from him and “Aaron remained silent.” Lord whatever I may do, may your name be glorified above all others, above all things. Remove any unholy pride, boasting or arrogance from me. You alone are to be praised.
