1
And Nadab[H5070] and Abihu[H30], the sons[H1121] of Aaron[H175], took[H3947]either[H376] of them his censer[H4289], and put[H5414]fire[H784]therein[H2004], and put[H7760]incense[H7004] thereon, and offered[H7126]strange[H2114]fire[H784]before[H6440] the LORD[H3068], which he commanded[H6680] them not.
2
And there went out[H3318]fire[H784] from the LORD[H3068], and devoured[H398] them, and they died[H4191]before[H6440] the LORD[H3068].
3
Then Moses[H4872]said[H559] unto Aaron[H175], This is it that the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696], saying[H559], I will be sanctified[H6942] in them that come nigh[H7138] me, and before[H6440] all the people[H5971] I will be glorified[H3513]. And Aaron[H175] held his peace[H1826].
4
And Moses[H4872]called[H7121]Mishael[H4332] and Elzaphan[H469], the sons[H1121] of Uzziel[H5816] the uncle[H1730] of Aaron[H175], and said[H559] unto them, Come near[H7126], carry[H5375] your brethren[H251] from before[H6440] the sanctuary[H6944]out[H2351] of the camp[H4264].
5
So they went near[H7126], and carried[H5375] them in their coats[H3801]out[H2351] of the camp[H4264]; as Moses[H4872] had said[H1696].
6
And Moses[H4872]said[H559] unto Aaron[H175], and unto Eleazar[H499] and unto Ithamar[H385], his sons[H1121], Uncover[H6544] not your heads[H7218], neither rend[H6533] your clothes[H899]; lest ye die[H4191], and lest wrath[H7107] come upon all the people[H5712]: but let your brethren[H251], the whole house[H1004] of Israel[H3478], bewail[H1058] the burning[H8316] which the LORD[H3068] hath kindled[H8313].
7
And ye shall not go out[H3318] from the door[H6607] of the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150], lest ye die[H4191]: for the anointing[H4888]oil[H8081] of the LORD[H3068] is upon you. And they did[H6213] according to the word[H1697] of Moses[H4872].
8
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] unto Aaron[H175], saying[H559],
9
Do not drink[H8354]wine[H3196] nor strong drink[H7941], thou, nor thy sons[H1121] with thee, when ye go[H935] into the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150], lest ye die[H4191]: it shall be a statute[H2708] for ever[H5769] throughout your generations[H1755]:
10
And that ye may put difference[H914] between holy[H6944] and unholy[H2455], and between unclean[H2931] and clean[H2889];
11
And that ye may teach[H3384] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] all the statutes[H2706] which the LORD[H3068] hath spoken[H1696] unto them by the hand[H3027] of Moses[H4872].
12
And Moses[H4872]spake[H1696] unto Aaron[H175], and unto Eleazar[H499] and unto Ithamar[H385], his sons[H1121] that were left[H3498], Take[H3947] the meat offering[H4503] that remaineth[H3498] of the offerings[H801] of the LORD[H3068] made by fire[H801], and eat[H398] it without leaven[H4682]beside[H681] the altar[H4196]: for it is most[H6944]holy[H6944]:
13
And ye shall eat[H398] it in the holy[H6918]place[H4725], because it is thy due[H2706], and thy sons[H1121]' due[H2706], of the sacrifices[H801] of the LORD[H3068] made by fire[H801]: for so I am commanded[H6680].
14
And the wave[H8573]breast[H2373] and heave[H8641]shoulder[H7785] shall ye eat[H398] in a clean[H2889]place[H4725]; thou, and thy sons[H1121], and thy daughters[H1323] with thee: for they be thy due[H2706], and thy sons[H1121]' due[H2706], which are given[H5414] out of the sacrifices[H2077] of peace offerings[H8002] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
15
The heave[H8641]shoulder[H7785] and the wave[H8573]breast[H2373] shall they bring[H935] with the offerings made by fire[H801] of the fat[H2459], to wave[H5130] it for a wave[H5130]offering[H8573]before[H6440] the LORD[H3068]; and it shall be thine, and thy sons[H1121]' with thee, by a statute[H2706] for ever[H5769]; as the LORD[H3068] hath commanded[H6680].
16
And Moses[H4872]diligently[H1875]sought[H1875] the goat[H8163] of the sin offering[H2403], and, behold, it was burnt[H8313]: and he was angry[H7107] with Eleazar[H499] and Ithamar[H385], the sons[H1121] of Aaron[H175] which were left[H3498] alive, saying[H559],
17
Wherefore have ye not eaten[H398] the sin offering[H2403] in the holy[H6944]place[H4725], seeing it is most[H6944]holy[H6944], and God hath given[H5414] it you to bear[H5375] the iniquity[H5771] of the congregation[H5712], to make atonement[H3722] for them before[H6440] the LORD?[H3068]
18Behold[H2005], the blood[H1818] of it was not brought[H935] in within[H6441] the holy[H6944] place: ye should indeed[H398] have eaten[H398] it in the holy[H6944] place, as I commanded[H6680].
19
And Aaron[H175]said[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], Behold, this day[H3117] have they offered[H7126] their sin offering[H2403] and their burnt offering[H5930]before[H6440] the LORD[H3068]; and such things have befallen[H7122] me: and if I had eaten[H398] the sin offering[H5930] to day[H3117], should it have been accepted[H3190] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD?[H3068]
20
And when Moses[H4872]heard[H8085] that, he was content[H3190].
