And Nadab and Abihu
, the sons
of Aaron
, took
either
of them his censer
, and put
fire
therein
, and put
incense
thereon, and offered
strange
fire
before
the LORD
, which he commanded
them not.
And there went out fire
from the LORD
, and devoured
them, and they died
before
the LORD
.
Then Moses said
unto Aaron
, This is it that the LORD
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
.
And Moses called
Mishael
and Elzaphan
, the sons
of Uzziel
the uncle
of Aaron
, and said
unto them, Come near
, carry
your brethren
from before
the sanctuary
out
of the camp
.
So they went near, and carried
them in their coats
out
of the camp
; as Moses
had said
.
And Moses said
unto Aaron
, and unto Eleazar
and unto Ithamar
, his sons
, Uncover
not your heads
, neither rend
your clothes
; lest ye die
, and lest wrath
come upon all the people
: but let your brethren
, the whole house
of Israel
, bewail
the burning
which the LORD
hath kindled
.
And ye shall not go out from the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation
, lest ye die
: for the anointing
oil
of the LORD
is upon you. And they did
according to the word
of Moses
.
And the LORD spake
unto Aaron
, saying
,
Do not drink wine
nor strong drink
, thou, nor thy sons
with thee, when ye go
into the tabernacle
of the congregation
, lest ye die
: it shall be a statute
for ever
throughout your generations
:
And that ye may put difference between holy
and unholy
, and between unclean
and clean
;
And that ye may teach the children
of Israel
all the statutes
which the LORD
hath spoken
unto them by the hand
of Moses
.
And Moses spake
unto Aaron
, and unto Eleazar
and unto Ithamar
, his sons
that were left
, Take
the meat offering
that remaineth
of the offerings
of the LORD
made by fire
, and eat
it without leaven
beside
the altar
: for it is most
holy
:
And ye shall eat it in the holy
place
, because it is thy due
, and thy sons
' due
, of the sacrifices
of the LORD
made by fire
: for so I am commanded
.
And the wave breast
and heave
shoulder
shall ye eat
in a clean
place
; thou, and thy sons
, and thy daughters
with thee: for they be thy due
, and thy sons
' due
, which are given
out of the sacrifices
of peace offerings
of the children
of Israel
.
The heave shoulder
and the wave
breast
shall they bring
with the offerings made by fire
of the fat
, to wave
it for a wave offering
before
the LORD
; and it shall be thine, and thy sons
' with thee, by a statute
for ever
; as the LORD
hath commanded
.
And Moses diligently
sought
the goat
of the sin offering
, and, behold, it was burnt
: and he was angry
with Eleazar
and Ithamar
, the sons
of Aaron
which were left
alive , saying
,
Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering
in the holy
place
, seeing it is most
holy
, and God hath given
it you to bear
the iniquity
of the congregation
, to make atonement
for them before
the LORD
?
Behold, the blood
of it was not brought
in within
the holy
place : ye should indeed
have eaten
it in the holy
place , as I commanded
.
And Aaron said
unto Moses
, Behold, this day
have they offered
their sin offering
and their burnt offering
before
the LORD
; and such things have befallen
me: and if I had eaten
the sin offering
to day
, should it have been accepted
in the sight
of the LORD
?
And when Moses heard
that , he was content
.
