Lev. 10:1‑2• 1And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, took each of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and presented strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.
 2And there went out fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah. (Lev. 10:1‑2)
• In general, there are two great ideas; --first, that the atonement was made, so that the relationship of the people with God was maintained notwithstanding their sins; and then, --in the second place, in the difficulties which surrounded the entrance of Aaron into the holy place, there was the testimony (according to the Epistle to the Hebrews itself) that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest during that dispensation. (“Leviticus 16” by J.N. Darby)
• Israel had made the golden calf, and Moses put a veil over his face; Nadab and Abihu had offered strange fire upon the altar of God-fire which had not been taken from the altar of burnt offering. The way into the holiest is closed; Aaron is forbidden to enter there at all times. He never went in in his garments of glory and beauty. When he went in, it was not for communion, but for the cleansing of the sanctuary defiled by the iniquities of a people among whom God dwelt; {v.2} and the day of atonement is only introduced with a prohibition of entering at all times into the holy place, and is conspicuous as taking place after the death of the sons of Aaron. (“Leviticus 16” by J.N. Darby)
• The preliminary verses of Lev. 16 introduce the day of atonement.... It shows, in the light of the New Testament (that is, of Christ Himself and the mighty work He has accomplished), what the import of “atonement” truly is. (“Leviticus 16:1-4, The Principle, Part 1” by W. Kelly)
• Not only does the inspired text lie in the chapter before us, but we have also the inspired exegesis in that Epistle {Hebrews}. No believer can doubt this who reads Heb. 9. (“Leviticus 16:1-4, The Principle, Part 1” by W. Kelly)
• The day of atonement avowedly was to provide for all the sins, transgressions, and iniquities of the children of Israel. What had the work of Christ in view? Not only the entire, present, and everlasting removal before God of all our iniquities, but the glorifying Himself even about sin by virtue of Christ's atoning death. (“Leviticus 16:1-4, The Principle, Part 1” by W. Kelly)
