Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

Leviticus 10:17

God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation It was given them as an encouragement to, and a reward of the careful performance of that part of their duty, whereby they expiated, bore, and took away the sins of the people by offering those sacrifices, by which, as being typical of the sacrifice of the Messiah, God was reconciled to the penitent and believing offerers.
