Leviticus 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 10:11

And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the
statutes
Laws, precepts, ordinances, moral, ceremonial, and judicial, which was the business of the priests to do, ( Malachi 2:7 ) but one inebriated with liquor would be incapable of giving instructions about any of those things:

which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses:
particularly those delivered and recorded in ( Exodus 20:1-26 ) ( 22:1-23:33 ) and as not the priests, so neither any other Israelite might instruct {s}, nor indeed would be capable of instructing others when in liquor; and therefore excessive drinking, as it should be carefully avoided by all men, so more especially by those who by their office are teachers of others; see ( Proverbs 31:4 Proverbs 31:5 ) .

Leviticus 10:11 In-Context

9 “You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the tent of meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come,
10 so that you can distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean,
11 and so you can teach the Israelites all the decrees the LORD has given them through Moses.”
12 Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering left over from the food offerings prepared without yeast and presented to the LORD and eat it beside the altar, for it is most holy.
13 Eat it in the sanctuary area, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the food offerings presented to the LORD; for so I have been commanded.
