Leviticus:10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then Nadab and Abihu ,
the sons of Aaron ,
each took his censer and put fire in it ,
put incense on it ,
and offered profane fire before the LORD ,
which He had not commanded them .
*
So fire went out from the LORD and devoured them ,
and they died before the LORD .
*
And Moses said to Aaron , "
This is what the LORD spoke ,
saying : "
By those who come near Me I must be regarded as holy ;
And before all the people I must be glorified ."'
So Aaron held his peace .
*
Then Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan ,
the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron ,
and said to them , "
Come near ,
carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp ."
*
So they went near and carried them by their tunics out of the camp ,
as Moses had said .
*
And Moses said to Aaron ,
and to Eleazar and Ithamar ,
his sons , "
Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes ,
lest you die ,
and wrath come upon all the people .
But let your brethren ,
the whole house of Israel ,
bewail the burning which the LORD has kindled .
*
You shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of meeting ,
lest you die ,
for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you ."
And they did according to the word of Moses .
*
Then the LORD spoke to Aaron ,
saying :
* "
Do not drink wine or intoxicating drink ,
you ,
nor your sons with you ,
when you go into the tabernacle of meeting ,
lest you die .
It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations ,
*
that you may distinguish between holy and unholy ,
and between unclean and clean ,
*
and that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by the hand of Moses ."
*
And Moses spoke to Aaron ,
and to Eleazar and Ithamar ,
his sons who were left : "
Take the grain offering that remains of the offerings made by fire to the LORD ,
and eat it without leaven beside the altar ;
for it is most holy .
*
You shall eat it in a holy place ,
because it is your due and your sons '
due ,
of the sacrifices made by fire to the LORD ;
for so I have been commanded .
*
The breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering you shall eat in a clean place ,
you ,
your sons ,
and your daughters with you ;
for they are your due and your sons '
due ,
which are given from the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel .
*
The thigh of the heave offering and the breast of the wave offering they shall bring with the offerings of fat made by fire ,
to offer as a wave offering before the LORD .
And it shall be yours and your sons '
with you ,
by a statute forever ,
as the LORD has commanded ."
*
Then Moses made careful inquiry about the goat of the sin offering ,
and there it was--burned up .
And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar ,
the sons of Aaron who were left ,
saying ,
* "
Why have you not eaten the sin offering in a holy place ,
since it is most holy ,
and God has given it to you to bear the guilt of the congregation ,
to make atonement for them before the LORD ?
*
See !
Its blood was not brought inside the holy place ;
indeed you should have eaten it in a holy place ,
as I commanded ."
*
And Aaron said to Moses , "
Look ,
this day they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD ,
and such things have befallen me !
If I had eaten the sin offering today ,
would it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD ?"
*
So when Moses heard that ,
he was content .
