Leviticus 10:11 Summary

This verse is saying that the priests were to teach the Israelites all the rules and commands that God gave them through Moses, so that they could live a holy life and follow God's ways, as also mentioned in Deuteronomy 30:16. The priests had an important role in teaching the people about what is holy and what is not, as seen in Ezekiel 22:26. We can apply this to our own lives by reading and obeying God's commands in the Bible, and also by seeking guidance from spiritual leaders and teachers, as encouraged in Hebrews 13:17. By doing so, we can live a life that is pleasing to God and honor Him in all we do, as stated in 1 Corinthians 10:31.

Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 10:11

Leviticus 10:11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.Ver. 11. And that ye may teach.] The priest’ s lips should both preserve knowledge and present it to the people; even all the counsel of God. "To give the knowledge of salvation by the remission of sins."

Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 10:11

(11) And that ye may teach.—The priests were not only to keep sober to be able to decide the questions of ritual, but they were to teach the people, since the ceremonial law affected domestic life and social intercourse (Deuteronomy 33:10; Malachi 2:7). For neglecting these duties, the prophet charges them :—“Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and the profane, neither have they showed difference [i.e., taught the people the difference] between the unclean and the clean” (Ezekiel 22:26).

Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 10:11

10, 11. This passage may well have an immediate relation to the preceding context, as meaning that perfect sobriety was required in order to enable them to discriminate between ‘holy’ and ‘common’ and to give right Torah. Others have thought that the words in the last clause of Lev 10:11 ‘the Lord hath spoken’ shew that it is not connected with Leviticus 10:8, and that Leviticus 10:9 seems marked off by its last clause from what follows. Leviticus 10:10 would form an appropriate introduction to chs. 11–15. Driver and White (Haupt’s SBOT., ad loc.) think that something may have fallen out here. (5) The law of eating the holy things (12–15) The reference is to the Meal-Offering and Peace-Offering of Lev 9:17-18. The remainder of the Meal-Offering, after the handful therefrom had been burnt, belonged to the priests, Leviticus 2:2-3, Leviticus 6:16-18. Being most holy, it was eaten only by priests in a holy place here specified as ‘beside the altar.’ Cp. Leviticus 6:16; Leviticus 6:26; ‘in the court of the tent of meeting.’ The priestly portions of the Peace-Offering might be eaten by the families of the priests in a clean place, of course only by those who were ritually clean (Leviticus 7:20-21). The Sin-Offering when eaten, being most holy, was treated as the Meal-Offering. See Leviticus 6:24-29.

Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 10:11

11. That ye may teach — The priest was the earliest religious teacher of the Levitical law, “for the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth.” Malachi 2:7.
