Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(9) Do not drink wine.--As the command that the priests are to abstain from any intoxicating liquors when performing their sacred functions follows so closely upon the death of Nadab and Abihu, the opinion obtained as early at least as the time of Christ that there is a connection between the specific sin and the general law, that the two sons of Aaron drank wine to excess when they offered strange fire, and that the present prohibition is based upon that circumstance. Accordingly, the Apostle enjoins that a bishop "must not be given to wine," that "deacons must not be given to much wine" (1Timothy 3:2-3). A similar law existed among the ancient Greeks and Persians, enjoining the priests to abstain from wine.Nor strong drink.--The word (sh?ch?r) here rendered strong drink, is the general name of intoxicating drinks, whether made of wheat, barley, millet, apples, dates, honey, or other fruits. One of the four intoxicating drinks which are prohibited among the Mahommedans in India is called "Sachar."When ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation.--Better, when ye go into the tent of meeting. The Palestinian Chaldee adds here, "as thy sons did who died by the burning fire." The same precept is repeated in Ezekiel 44:21, "Neither shall any priest drink wine when they enter into the inner court." The injunction that on these particular occasions the priests are to abstain from taking it clearly implies that, ordinarily, when not going into the tent of meeting--that is, when not performing their sacred functions in the sanctuary--they were not forbidden to use it if required.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrew“Youאַתָּ֣ה ׀ (’at·tāh)Pronoun - second person masculine singularStrong's 859: Thou and thee, ye and youand your sonsוּבָנֶ֣יךָ (ū·ḇā·ne·ḵā)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 1121: A sonare notאַל־ (’al-)AdverbStrong's 408: Notto drinkתֵּ֣שְׁתְּ ׀ (tê·šət)Verb - Qal - Imperfect Jussive - second person masculine singularStrong's 8354: To imbibewineיַ֣יִן (ya·yin)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 3196: Wine, intoxicationor strong drinkוְשֵׁכָ֞ר (wə·šê·ḵār)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 7941: An intoxicant, intensely alcoholic liquorwhen you enterבְּבֹאֲכֶ֛ם (bə·ḇō·’ă·ḵem)Preposition-b | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct | second person masculine pluralStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, gothe Tentאֹ֥הֶל (’ō·hel)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 168: A tentof Meeting,מוֹעֵ֖ד (mō·w·‘êḏ)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4150: Appointed time, place, or meetingor elseוְלֹ֣א (wə·lō)Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noyou will die;תָמֻ֑תוּ (ṯā·mu·ṯū)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine pluralStrong's 4191: To die, to killthis is a perpetualעוֹלָ֖ם (‘ō·w·lām)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 5769: Concealed, eternity, frequentatively, alwaysstatuteחֻקַּ֥ת (ḥuq·qaṯ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 2708: Something prescribed, an enactment, statutefor the generations to come.לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶֽם׃ (lə·ḏō·rō·ṯê·ḵem)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine pluralStrong's 1755: A revolution of time, an age, generation, a dwellingJump to PreviousAge-During Cause Congregation Death Die Drink Everlasting Fermented Forever Generations Meeting Order Ordinance Perpetual Statute Strong Tabernacle Tent Throughout Whenever Wine
