Commentary
5 notes on this verseThe meat-offerings, being annexed to the burnt-offerings, were intended only and wholly for the glory of God; but the peace-offerings were ordained for the furtherance of men's joy and comfort; the former therefore were the more sacred, and to be had more in veneration.
This site's exposition
Take the meat offering that remaineth
on Leviticus 10:12-13
On the day of the funeral Moses goes back over the priests' portions that Leviticus 6 and 7 had already laid down. Four priests were consecrated a week ago and two are left, so the work does not stop and the survivors carry it. Eating the offering is put to them as an order rather than a privilege, since verse 13 ends for so I am commanded.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
Now the law of the sin-offerings was that if the blood of them was brought into the holy place, as that of the sin-offerings for the priest was, then the flesh was to be burnt without the camp; otherwise it was to be eaten by the priest in the holy place, ch. vi.
And ye shall eat it in the holy place,....

Moses spake unto Aaron, &c.--This was a timely and considerate rehearsal of the laws that regulated the conduct of the priests. Amid the distractions of their family bereavement, Aaron and his surviving sons might have forgotten or overlooked some of their duties.
