• {v.6-9} The reader must not allow his mind to be disturbed by any question of historical sequence in the foregoing passage. It is simply a parenthesis in which the lawgiver groups together, in a very striking and forcible manner, circumstances culled, with holy skill, from the history of the people, illustrative, at once, of the government and grace of God. The death of Aaron exhibits the former; the election and elevation of Levi, presents the latter. (“Deuteronomy 10” by C.H. Mackintosh)

• {v.6-9} But why does Moses bring in, in this parenthetical and apparently abrupt manner, those two special events in Israel’s history? Simply to move the heart of the people toward the one grand point of obedience. To this end he culls and groups according to the wisdom given unto him. (“Deuteronomy 10” by C.H. Mackintosh)

• They were to remember that, notwithstanding Aaron’s high position as the high priest of Israel, yet he was stripped of his robes and deprived of his life for disobedience to the word of Jehovah. How important, then, that they should take heed to themselves! The government of God was not to be trifled with, and the very fact of Aaron’s elevation only rendered it all the more needful that his sin should be dealt with, in order that others might fear. (“Deuteronomy 10” by C.H. Mackintosh)

• Why was Aaron judged? Because of his rebellion at the waters of Meribah (Num. 20:24). (“Deuteronomy 10” by C.H. Mackintosh)
