Lev 10
1
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 YHWH, which he
had not commanded them.
2
And there came forth fire from before YHWH, and devoured them, and they died before
YHWH.
3
Then Moses said to Aaron, This is it that YHWH spoke, 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.
4
And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and
said to them, Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the
camp.
5
So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.
6
And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair
of your heads go loose, neither rend your clothes; that you 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 YHWH has kindled.
7
And you shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest you die; for the
anointing oil of YHWH is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
8
And YHWH spoke to Aaron, saying,
9
Drink no wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the
tent of meeting, that you die not: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
generations:
10
and that you may make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the
unclean and the clean;
11
and that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which YHWH has spoken
to them by Moses.
12
And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons that were left,
Take the meal-offering that remains of the offerings of YHWH made by fire, and eat
it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy;
13
and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons` portion,
of the offerings of YHWH made by fire: for so I am commanded.
14
And the wave-breast and the heave-thigh shall you 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.
15
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 YHWH: and it shall be yours, and
your sons` with you, as a portion for ever; as YHWH has commanded.
16
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,
17
Wherefore have you not 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 YHWH?
18
Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within: you should certainly
have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.
19
And Aaron spoke to Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin-offering and
their burnt-offering before YHWH; 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 YHWH?
20
And when Moses heard [that], it was well-pleasing in his sight.
