1And 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.Select Leviticus 10:1

2And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.Select Leviticus 10:2

3Then Moses said to Aaron, This is it that the LORD spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.Select Leviticus 10:3

4And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Come near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.Select Leviticus 10:4

5So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.Select Leviticus 10:5

6And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest you die, and lest wrath come on all the people: but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, mourn the burning which the LORD has kindled.Select Leviticus 10:6

7And you shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is on you. And they did according to the word of Moses. ¶Select Leviticus 10:7

8And the LORD spoke to Aaron, saying,Select Leviticus 10:8

9Do not drink wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest you die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:Select Leviticus 10:9

10And that you may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;Select Leviticus 10:10

11And that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by the hand of Moses. ¶Select Leviticus 10:11

12And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remains of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:Select Leviticus 10:12

13And you shall eat it in the holy place, because it is your due, and your sons’ due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.Select Leviticus 10:13

14And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall you eat in a clean place; you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they be your due, and your sons’ due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.Select Leviticus 10:14

15The 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 yours, and your sons’ with you, by a statute for ever; as the LORD has commanded. ¶Select Leviticus 10:15

16And 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,Select Leviticus 10:16

17Why have you not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God has given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?Select Leviticus 10:17

18Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: you should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.Select Leviticus 10:18

19And Aaron said to 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?Select Leviticus 10:19

20And when Moses heard that, he was content.Select Leviticus 10:20
