Leviticus 10
1 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.
2 And there went
out fire from the
LORD, and
devoured them, and they
died before the
LORD. 3 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.
4 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. 5 So they went
near, and
carried them in their
coats out of the
camp; as
Moses had
said.
6 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.
7 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. 8 And the
LORD spake unto
Aaron, saying,
9 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: 10 And that ye may put
difference between
holy and
unholy, and between
unclean and
clean; 11 And that ye may
teach the
children of
Israel all the
statutes which the
LORD hath
spoken unto them by the
hand of
Moses. 12 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: 13 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.
14 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. 15 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.
16 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,
17 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? 18 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.
19 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? 20 And when
Moses heard that, he was
content .
