How did Aaron respond to the judgment of his sons, Nadab and Abihu?

Lévitique 10:3 (NEG79)

3 Moïse dit à Aaron: C'est ce que l'Eternel a déclaré, lorsqu'il a dit: Je serai sanctifié par ceux qui s'approchent de moi, et je serai glorifié en présence de tout le peuple. Aaron garda le silence.

Aaron, who had just lost his two eldest sons, held his peace; literally: “And Aaron was still.” The same word is used to describe the terror of the nations in Exodus 15:16. The nations were so afraid that they became motionless like a rock.
