Wesley's Notes for Leviticus 10:2
10:2 From the Lord - From heaven, or rather from the sanctuary. Devoured them - Destroyed their lives; for their bodies and garments were not consumed. Thus the sword is said to devour, #2Sam 2:26|. Thus lightning many times kill persons, without any hurt to their garments.
