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.
