And
Nadab and Abihu ,
the
sons
of
Aaron,
took each
of
them
his
censer
, and
put fire therein,
and laid
incense thereon
, and offered strange
fire before Jehovah
, which
he
had
not
commanded
them
.
Now
Aaron’s
sons
Nadab and Abihu took their
censers
, put fire in
them
and added
incense, and offered unauthorized
fire before the
LORD
, contrary
to
His
command
.
And
there
came
forth
fire from before
Jehovah,
and devoured
them, and they died before
Jehovah
.
So
fire came
out
from the
presence
of
the
LORD
and consumed
them, and they died in
the
presence
of
the
LORD
.
Then Moses said unto
Aaron, This is it
that
Jehovah
spake,
saying,
I
will
be
sanctified
in
them
that
come nigh
me, and before
all the people I will be
glorified
. And
Aaron held
his
peace
.
Then Moses said to
Aaron, “
This is what
the
LORD
meant
when
He
said:
‘To
those
who
come near
Me I
will
show
My
holiness
, and in
the
sight
of
all the people I will reveal
My
glory
. ’”
But
Aaron remained
silent
.
And
Moses called
Mishael and Elzaphan, the
sons of Uzziel
the
uncle of
Aaron
, and said unto
them, Draw
near,
carry your brethren
from before
the sanctuary
out
of the camp
.
Moses summoned
Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s
uncle Uzziel
, and said to
them, “Come
here;
carry the
bodies
of
your cousins
outside
the
camp,
away
from the front
of the sanctuary
. ”
So they drew
near,
and carried them in their coats
out
of
the camp, as Moses had said
.
So they came
forward
and carried them ,
still
in their tunics,
outside
the camp, as Moses had directed
.
And
Moses said unto
Aaron ,
and unto
Eleazar and unto
Ithamar, his
sons,
Let
not the
hair of
your heads
go
loose
, neither
rend
your
clothes;
that
ye
die not
, and that
he
be not
wroth
with all
the congregation :
but let
your brethren
, the whole house of Israel, bewail
the burning
which
Jehovah
hath
kindled
.
Then
Moses said to
Aaron and his
sons
Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do
not let
your
hair become
disheveled
and
do
not
tear
your garments
, or
else
you
will
die, and the
LORD
will
be angry
with the whole
congregation .
But your brothers
, the whole house of Israel, may
mourn
on
account
of
the fire
that
the
LORD
has
ignited
.
And
ye
shall not go out
from
the door
of
the tent of meeting, lest
ye
die ;
for the anointing oil of
Jehovah
is upon
you. And
they did according
to
the
word
of
Moses.
You
shall not go outside
the entrance
to
the Tent of Meeting, or
you
will
die ,
for the LORD’s
anointing oil is on
you. ”
So
they did as
Moses instructed
.
And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Aaron, saying,
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Aaron,
Drink no
wine nor
strong drink ,
thou,
nor
thy
sons
with
thee,
when ye
go
into
the tent of meeting, that
ye
die not:
it
shall
be
a statute for ever
throughout
your
generations :
“You
and
your
sons
are
not
to
drink wine or
strong drink when you
enter
the Tent of Meeting, or
else
you
will
die ;
this
is
a permanent
statute for the
generations to
come.
and
that
ye
may
make
a
distinction
between the holy and the common, and
between the unclean
and the clean;
You
must
distinguish
between the holy and the common, between the clean
and the unclean,
and
that ye
may teach the children
of
Israel
all the statutes which
Jehovah
hath
spoken
unto
them by
Moses.
so
that you
may teach the Israelites
all the statutes that
the
LORD
has
given
them through
Moses. ”
And Moses spake
unto
Aaron ,
and unto
Eleazar and unto
Ithamar, his
sons
that
were
left,
Take the meal-
offering that remaineth
of
the offerings of
Jehovah
made by fire ,
and eat it without leaven beside the altar ;
for
it is most holy ;
And Moses said
to
Aaron and his
remaining
sons,
Eleazar and Ithamar, “
Take the grain
offering that remains
from
the offerings made by fire to
the
LORD
and eat it without leaven beside the altar ,
because
it is most holy .
and
ye
shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy
portion,
and thy
sons '
portion,
of the offerings of
Jehovah
made by fire :
for so
I am
commanded.
You
shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your
share
and your
sons ’
share
of the offerings made by fire to
the
LORD;
for this
is
what
I have
been
commanded.
And the wave-
breast and the heave-
thigh shall
ye
eat
in a clean place, thou,
and
thy
sons,
and
thy
daughters
with
thee:
for
they
are
given
as
thy
portion,
and thy
sons'
portion,
out
of
the
sacrifices
of
the peace -
offerings of the children
of Israel.
And you
and
your
sons
and
daughters
may
eat
the breast of
the
wave
offering
and the thigh of
the
contribution
in a ceremonially
clean place, because
these
portions
have
been
assigned
to
you
and your
children
from
the peace offerings of the sons
of Israel.
The heave-
thigh and the wave-
breast shall
they
bring
with the offerings made by fire of
the
fat
, to wave it
for
a wave -
offering before Jehovah:
and
it shall
be
thine,
and thy
sons'
with
thee
, as a
portion
for
ever;
as
Jehovah
hath
commanded.
They
are
to
bring
the thigh of
the
contribution
and the breast of
the
wave
offering,
together
with the fat
portions
of
the
offerings made by fire, to wave as
a wave offering before the
LORD.
It will
belong
permanently
to
you
and your
children
, as the
LORD
has
commanded. ”
And
Moses diligently
sought
the goat of the sin -
offering, and ,
behold, it was
burnt:
and
he was angry with Eleazar and with
Ithamar, the
sons of
Aaron
that
were
left
, saying
,
Later,
Moses searched
carefully
for
the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had
been
burned
up.
He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s
remaining
sons, and
asked
,
Wherefore
have
ye
not
eaten
the sin -
offering in the place of
the
sanctuary,
seeing
it is most holy ,
and
he
hath
given
it you to bear
the iniquity
of the congregation ,
to
make
atonement for them before Jehovah?
“Why
didn’t
you
eat
the sin offering in the holy
place ?
For
it is most holy ;
it was
given
to
you to take
away
the guilt
of the congregation by
making
atonement for them before the
LORD.
Behold,
the
blood of
it
was not brought into
the sanctuary
within:
ye
should certainly
have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.
Since
its
blood was not brought inside
the holy
place,
you
should have eaten it in the sanctuary area
, as I commanded. ”
And
Aaron spake
unto
Moses, Behold, this day have
they offered
their sin -
offering and their burnt -
offering before Jehovah;
and
there
have befallen
me such
things
as
these:
and
if I had eaten the sin -
offering to-day
, would it have been well-pleasing
in the sight of Jehovah
?
But
Aaron replied
to
Moses, “
Behold, this very
day they presented
their sin offering and their burnt offering before the
LORD.
Since
these
things
have happened
to
me ,
if I had eaten the sin offering today
, would it have been acceptable
in the sight of the
LORD
? ”
And when Moses heard `that'
, it
was well-pleasing
in
his
sight
.
And when Moses heard this
explanation
, he
was satisfied
.
