You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink
This command is directed to Aaron and his sons, the priests, emphasizing the importance of maintaining holiness and clarity of mind while performing sacred duties. The prohibition against wine or strong drink highlights the need for sobriety in worship and service to God. In the ancient Near East, intoxicating beverages were common, but the priests were to set themselves apart, reflecting God's holiness. This command underscores the principle of being set apart for God's service, a theme that runs throughout Leviticus.

when you enter the Tent of Meeting
The Tent of Meeting, also known as the Tabernacle, was the central place of worship for the Israelites during their wilderness journey. It was where God's presence dwelt among His people, and where the priests performed their duties. Entering the Tent of Meeting required a state of ritual purity and reverence, as it was a place of divine encounter. This phrase emphasizes the sacredness of the space and the need for the priests to approach it with utmost respect and preparedness.

or else you will die
This severe consequence underscores the seriousness of the command. The holiness of God and the sanctity of the Tabernacle required strict adherence to His instructions. The death of Nadab and Abihu, Aaron's sons, earlier inLeviticus 10 serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of disobedience and irreverence. This warning reflects the broader biblical principle that sin leads to death, as seen inRomans 6:23, and highlights the need for obedience to God's commands.

this is a permanent statute
The term "permanent statute" indicates that this command was not temporary but was to be observed continually by the priestly line. It reflects the enduring nature of God's requirements for holiness and the ongoing need for the priests to maintain a standard of conduct that honors God. This concept of a lasting ordinance is seen throughout the Old Testament, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people.

for the generations to come
This phrase extends the command beyond Aaron and his immediate sons to all future generations of priests. It highlights the importance of passing down God's instructions and maintaining the integrity of worship practices. This continuity is crucial for preserving the faith and ensuring that each generation understands and upholds the standards set by God. The idea of generational faithfulness is echoed inDeuteronomy 6:6-7, where parents are instructed to teach God's commands to their children.

Teaching Points
Sobriety in Service
The command inLeviticus 10:9 emphasizes the need for sobriety when serving God. Just as priests were to be clear-minded in their duties, Christians today are called to be sober-minded in their spiritual walk.

Reverence for God's Presence
Entering the Tent of Meeting required a state of holiness and reverence. Believers are reminded to approach God with respect and purity, recognizing the seriousness of His presence.

Generational Obedience
The statute was to be observed by future generations, highlighting the importance of teaching and maintaining God's standards across time. Christians are encouraged to pass down godly principles to their children.

Consequences of Disobedience
The severe consequence of death for disobedience underscores the seriousness of God's commands. It serves as a reminder of the spiritual consequences of disregarding God's instructions.

Spiritual Readiness
Just as priests needed to be ready to serve, Christians are called to be spiritually prepared at all times, avoiding anything that might impair their ability to discern and act according to God's will.

What Does Leviticus 10:9 Mean
You and your sons

Moses speaks directly to Aaron, the high priest, and to his surviving sons, Eleazar and Ithamar (seeLeviticus 10:8;Exodus 28:1). The mandate is priestly in scope: those set apart to draw near to God must observe a higher standard. By extension,1 Peter 2:9 reminds every believer, “you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood,” underscoring that God’s call to holiness did not end with Aaron’s family.

are not to drink wine or strong drink

Sobriety is required so that spiritual service remains undiluted.

•Proverbs 20:1 warns, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler…”.

•Ephesians 5:18 echoes the principle: “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit”.

Impaired judgment would profane sacred duties—exactly what Nadab and Abihu had just done (Leviticus 10:1–2).

when you enter the Tent of Meeting

The command is tied to sacred space and sacred moments.Exodus 33:7 notes that the Tent of Meeting was where “the LORD would speak with Moses.” Approaching God demanded clear minds and reverent hearts (Hebrews 10:19–22).

or else you will die

The warning is literal. God had just demonstrated the seriousness of unauthorized worship by striking down Nadab and Abihu (Numbers 3:4). Similar New Testament examples—Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1–5) and the Corinthian abuses of the Lord’s Supper (1 Corinthians 11:30)—confirm that divine holiness remains unchanged.

this is a permanent statute

Like the Day of Atonement regulations (Leviticus 16:29), this rule was not temporary or negotiable. God’s moral character anchors His statutes (Malachi 3:6).

for the generations to come

Each generation of priests—and, in Christ, every believer-priest—must guard sobriety and reverence.Deuteronomy 6:6–7 calls parents to pass God’s commands to their children, ensuring continuity. Our New Covenant priesthood (1 Peter 2:9) still represents God before the watching world.

summary

Leviticus 10:9 forbids priests from entering God’s presence under the influence of alcohol, stressing undistracted devotion and reverent clarity. The command is perpetual, rooted in God’s unchanging holiness, and finds application today in the believer’s call to sober, Spirit-filled service.

(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 inEzekiel 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.
