Clarke's Leviticus 10:10 Bible Commentary
That we may put difference between holy and unholy - This is a strong reason why they should drink no inebriating liquor, that their understanding being clear, and their judgment correct, they might be always able to discern between the clean and the unclean, and ever pronounce righteous judgment. Injunctions similar to this were found among the Egyptians, Carthaginians, and Greeks. Indeed, common sense itself shows that neither a drunkard nor a sot should ever be suffered to minister in holy things.
Barnes's Leviticus 10:10 Bible Commentary
Unholy ... unclean - Common, as not consecrated; and what would occasion defilement by being touched or eaten. Compare Acts 10:14.
Wesley's Leviticus 10:10 Bible Commentary
10:10 Between holy and unholy - Persons and things, which Nadab and Abihu did not.
