1 And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, each took his censer, and put fire in them, and put incense on it, and brought strange fire near before YHWH, which He had not commanded them. 2 And fire goes out from before YHWH and consumed them, and they died before YHWH. 3 And Moses said to Aaron, “It is that which YHWH has spoken, saying, By those drawing near to Me I am sanctified, and in the face of all the people I am honored.” And Aaron was silent. 4 And Moses called to Mishael and to Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Come near, carry your brothers from the front of the holy place to the outside of the camp.” 5 And they came near, and carried them in their coats to the outside of the camp, as Moses had spoken. 6 And Moses said to Aaron and his sons, to Eleazar and to Ithamar, “You do not uncover your heads, and you do not tear your garments, that you will not die, and He was angry on all the congregation. As for your brothers, the whole house of Israel, they lamented the burning which YHWH had kindled. 7 And you do not go out from the opening of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die, for the anointing oil of YHWH is on you.” And they did according to the word of Moses. 8 And YHWH spoke to Aaron, saying, 9 “You do not drink wine and strong drink, you and your sons with you, in your going into the Tent of Meeting, and you will not die—a continuous statute throughout your generations, 10 so as to make a separation between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the pure. 11 And to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which YHWH has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.” 12 And Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, to Eleazar and to Ithamar, who were left, “Take the present that is left from the fire-offerings of YHWH, and eat it unleavened near the altar, for it is most holy, 13 and you will eat it in the holy place, for it is your portion, and the portion of your sons, from the fire-offerings of YHWH. For so I have been commanded. 14 And you eat the breast of the wave-offering and the leg of the raised-offering in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you. They have been given for your portion and the portion of your sons, out of the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the sons of Israel. 15 The leg of the raised-offering, and breast of the wave-offering, besides fire-offerings of the fat, they brought in to wave as a wave-offering before YHWH, and it was to you, and to your sons with you, by a continuous statute, as YHWH has commanded.” 16 And Moses had diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and look, it was burnt, and he was angry against Eleazar and against Ithamar, sons of Aaron, who were left, saying, 17 “Why have you not eaten the sin-offering in the holy place, for it is most holy—and He has given it to you to take away the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before YHWH? 18 Look, its blood has not been brought into the holy place within. Eating you eat it in the holy place, as I have commanded.” 19 And Aaron spoke to Moses, “Look, today they have brought their sin-offering and their burnt-offering near before YHWH. And things like these met me, yet I have eaten a sin-offering today. Is it good in the eyes of YHWH?” 20 And Moses listened, and it was good in his eyes.
