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
.
Nadab and Abihu ,
the
sons
of
Aaron,
each
took his
censer
, and
put fire in it,
and laid
incense on
it
, and offered strange
fire before Yahweh
, which
he
had
not
commanded
them
.
So
fire came out
from the
presence
of
the
LORD
and consumed
them, and they died in
the
presence
of
the
LORD
.
And
fire came forth
from before
Yahweh,
and devoured
them, and they died before
Yahweh
.
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
.
Then Moses said to Aaron, "
This is what Yahweh
spoke
of,
saying,
"'I
will
show
myself
holy
to those who come near me, And before
all the people I will be
glorified
. '"
Aaron held
his
peace
.
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
. ”
Moses called
Mishael and Elzaphan, the
sons of Uzziel the
uncle
of
Aaron
, and said to them, "Draw
near,
carry your brothers
from before
the sanctuary
out
of the camp
. "
So they came
forward
and carried them ,
still
in their tunics,
outside
the camp, as Moses had directed
.
So they drew
near,
and carried them in their coats
out
of
the camp, as Moses had said
.
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
.
Moses said to Aaron ,
and to
Eleazar and to
Ithamar, his
sons,
"Don't
let the
hair of
your heads
go
loose
, neither
tear
your
clothes;
that
you don't
die, and that
he
not
be angry with all
the congregation :
but let
your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail
the burning
which
Yahweh
has kindled
.
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
.
You shall not go out
from
the door
of
the Tent of Meeting, lest
you die ;
for the anointing oil of
Yahweh
is on you. "
They did according
to
the
word
of
Moses.
Then
the
LORD
said
to Aaron,
Yahweh
spoke
to Aaron, saying,
“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.
"
Drink no
wine nor
strong drink ,
you,
nor
your
sons
with
you,
when you go
into
the Tent of Meeting, that
you don't
die :
it
shall
be
a statute forever
throughout
your
generations :
You must
distinguish
between the holy and the common, between the clean
and the unclean,
and
that
you are
to
make
a
distinction
between the holy and the common, and
between the unclean
and the clean;
so
that you may
teach the Israelites
all the statutes that
the
LORD
has given
them through
Moses. ”
and
that you are
to
teach the children
of
Israel
all the statutes which
Yahweh
has spoken
to
them by
Moses. "
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 .
Moses spoke
to Aaron, and
to
Eleazar and to
Ithamar, his
sons
who
were
left,
"
Take the meal
offering that remains of
the offerings of
Yahweh
made by fire ,
and eat it without yeast
beside the altar ;
for
it is most holy ;
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
you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion,
and your sons '
portion,
of the offerings of
Yahweh
made by fire :
for so
I am
commanded.
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 waved
breast and the heaved
thigh you
shall
eat
in a clean place, you ,
and your sons,
and
your
daughters
with
you:
for
they
are
given
as
your
portion,
and
your
sons'
portion,
out
of
the sacrifices
of
the
peace offerings of the children
of Israel.
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. ”
The heaved
thigh and the waved
breast they
shall
bring
with the offerings made by fire of
the
fat
, to wave it
for
a wave offering before Yahweh:
and
it shall
be
yours,
and your sons'
with
you
, as a
portion
forever;
as
Yahweh
has commanded. "
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
,
Moses diligently
inquired
about
the goat of the sin offering, and ,
behold, it was
burned :
and
he was angry with Eleazar and with
Ithamar, the
sons of
Aaron
who
were
left
, saying
,
“
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.
"
Why haven't
you eaten
the sin offering in the place of
the
sanctuary,
seeing
it is most holy ,
and
he
has
given it
you to bear
the iniquity
of the congregation ,
to
make
atonement for them before Yahweh?
Since
its blood was not brought inside
the holy
place,
you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area
, as I commanded. ”
Behold,
its blood was not brought into
the inner
part
of
the
sanctuary:
you certainly
should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded. "
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
? ”
Aaron spoke
to Moses, "
Behold, this day they have
offered
their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh;
and
such
things as
these
have happend
to me :
and
if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing
in the sight of Yahweh
? "
And
when Moses heard this
explanation
, he
was satisfied
.
When Moses heard that
, it
was pleasing
in
his
sight
.
