Leviticus 10

1Then Nadab and Abihu, Aaron’s sons, each took his firepan, put fire in it, placed incense on it, and presented unauthorized fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.

2And fire came out from before Yahweh and consumed them, and they died before Yahweh.

3Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke, saying: ‘Among those who come near me I will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” And Aaron was silent.

4Then Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, Aaron’s uncle, and said to them, “Come near; carry your brothers away from before the sanctuary to outside the camp.”

5So they came near and carried them in their tunics to outside the camp, just as Moses had said.

6And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons, “Do not let your heads hang loose, and do not tear your garments, so that you do not die and he become angry with all the congregation. But your brothers, the whole house of Israel, shall weep for the burning that Yahweh has kindled.”

7And you shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting, lest you die, because the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you.” And they did according to the word of Moses.

8And Yahweh spoke to Aaron, saying,

9You and your sons with you shall not drink wine or strong drink when you enter the tent of meeting, lest you die. It is a permanent statute throughout your generations.

10to distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean,

11and to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes that Yahweh has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.

12Then Moses spoke to Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his remaining sons: “Take the grain offering that remains from the food offerings of Yahweh, and eat it unleavened beside the altar, because it is most holy.”

13You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion and the portion of your sons from the food offerings of Yahweh, for so I have been commanded.

14And you, and your sons and your daughters with you, shall eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a clean place, because they have been given as your portion and your sons’ portion from the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.

15They shall bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, along with the food offerings of the fat portions, to wave as a wave offering before Yahweh; and it shall be for you and for your sons with you as a permanent statute, just as Yahweh commanded.

16Moses diligently searched for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. So he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, saying,

17Why did you not eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy, and he has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Yahweh.

18Look, its blood was not brought into the sanctuary, inside. You certainly should have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.

19And Aaron said to Moses, “Look, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh, and things like these have happened to me. If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been good in the sight of Yahweh?”

20And Moses heard, and it was good in his eyes.
