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.
02 And there went out fire from the Lord,
and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
03 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.
04 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.
05 So they went near, and carried them in
their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
06 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.
07 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.
08 And the Lord spake unto Aaron, saying,
09 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.
