Definitions for Leviticus 10:7
Clarke's Leviticus 10:7 Bible Commentary
The anointing oil of the Lord is upon you - They were consecrated to the Divine service, and this required their constant attendance, and most willing and cheerful service.
Barnes's Leviticus 10:7 Bible Commentary
The anointing oil ... is upon you - See Leviticus 8:12, Leviticus 8:30. The holy oil, as the symbol of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Life and immortality and joy, was the sign of the priests being brought near to Yahweh. It was therefore by its meaning connected both with the general law which forbade the high priest ever to put on signs of mourning on account of death Leviticus 21:10-12, and with the special reason for the prohibition on this occasion.
Wesley's Leviticus 10:7 Bible Commentary
10:7 Ye shall not go from the tabernacle — Where at this time they were, because this happened within seven days of their consecration.
The oil of the Lord is upon you — You are persons consecrated peculiarly to God's service, which therefore it is just you should prefer before all funeral solemnities.
