^10:1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each of them took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them. ^10:2 And fire came out from before Jehovah and devoured them and they died before Jehovah.

    ^10:3 Then Moses said to Aaron, This is it that Jehovah spoke, saying, I will be made holy by those who come near me. And I will be glorified before all the people. And Aaron remained silent.

    ^10:4 And 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. ^10:5 So they drew near and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.

    ^10:6 And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, Do not let the hair of your^* heads go loose, neither tear your^* clothes, that you^* do not die and that he not be angry with all the congregation, but let your^* brothers, the whole house of Israel, weep at the burning which Jehovah has kindled. ^10:7And you^* will not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest you^* die, because the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you^*. And they did according to the word of Moses.

    ^10:8 And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying, ^10:9Drink no wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you^* go into the tent of meeting, that you^* do not die– it will be an everlasting statute throughout your^* generations– ^10:10 and that you^* may make a distinction between the holy and the common and between the unclean and the clean, ^10:11 and that you^* may teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah has spoken to them by Moses.

    ^10:12 And Moses spoke to Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, Take the food-offering that remains of the fire-offerings of Jehovah and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy. ^10:13 And you^* will eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion and your sons' portion, of the fire-offerings of Jehovah. For so I am commanded. ^10:14 And you^* will eat the wave-offering and the thigh of the heave-offering 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 sons of Israel. ^10:15 They will bring the heave-offering and the wave-offering with the fire-offerings of the fat, to wave it for a wave-offering before Jehovah and it will be your and your sons' with you, as an everlasting portion, as Jehovah has commanded. ^10:16And 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 who were left, saying, ^10:17 Why have you^* not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanctuary, because it is most holy and he has given it to you^* to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Jehovah? ^10:18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought inside into the sanctuary. You^* should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.

    ^10:19 And Aaron spoke to Moses, Behold, this day they have offered their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah and such things as these have befallen me. And if I had eaten the sin-offering today, would it have been well pleasing in the sight of Jehovah? ^10:20 And when Moses heard, it was well-pleasing in his sight.
