Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 10:4

4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan the sons of Uzziel, the uncle of Aaron , and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the Sanctuary, out of the camp .

For Aaron and his sons had scarce finished their consecration-work, and were employed in their holy ministrations, from which they were not to be called for funeral solemnities. See Lev. [illegible: 1+ letters]1. 1, &c.

See Exod. 6. 18. Numb. 3. 19.

(i. e.) Kinsmen, as that word is oft used, as Gen. 13. 8. and 24. 27.

Where the burying places of the Iews were, that the living might neither be annoyed by the unwholsome sent of the dead, nor defiled by the touch of their graves.
