Study note
Setting — God addresses Aaron and his remaining sons to establish their duty to instruct the Israelites following the judgment on Nadab and Abihu.
The words — The Hebrew term וּלְהוֹרֹת (ule-hōrōt) means "to teach" or "to give instruction," paired with חֻקִּים (ḥuqqîm), "statutes," indicating the transmission of fixed divine ordinances.
The thread — This instructional mandate echoes in Malachi 2:7 regarding priestly preservation of knowledge, Nehemiah 8:2 where Ezra reads the Law to the assembly, and Matthew 28:20 where Jesus commands teaching obedience to his commands.
Why it lands — The text requires readers to recognize that priestly authority carries a non-negotiable obligation to transmit precise divine statutes without alteration.
