That we may put difference between holy and unholy - This is a strong reason why they should drink no inebriating liquor, that their understanding being clear, and their judgment correct, they might be always able to discern between the clean and the unclean, and ever pronounce righteous judgment.

10:10 Between holy and unholy - Persons and things, which Nadab and Abihu did not.
