Leviticus
10
And Nadab and Abiu, the sons of Aaron, taking their
censers, put fire therein, and incense on it, offering
before the Lord strange fire: which was not commanded
them.
And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them, and
they died before the Lord.
And Moses said to Aaron: This is what the Lord hath
spoken: I will be sanctified in them that approach to
me, and I will be glorified in the sight of all the
people. And when Aaron heard this, he held his peace.
And Moses called Misael and Elisaphan, the sons of Oziel,
the uncle of Aaron, and said to them: Go and take away
your brethren from before the sanctuary, and carry them
without the camp.
And they went forthwith and took them as they lay, vested
with linen tunicks, and cast them forth, as had been
commanded them.
And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar,
his sons: Uncover not your heads, and rend not your
garments, lest perhaps you die, and indignation come
upon all the congregation. Let your brethren, and all
the house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord
has kindled:
But you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle,
otherwise you shall perish, for the oil of the holy
unction is on you. And they did all things according
to the precept of Moses.
The Lord also said to Aaron:
You shall not drink wine nor any thing that may make
drunk, thou nor thy sons, when you enter into the tabernacle
of the testimony, lest you die: because it is an everlasting
precept through your generations :
And that you may have knowledge to discern between holy
and unholy, between unclean and clean:
And may teach the children of Israel all my ordinances
which the Lord hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses.
And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar,
his sons that were left: Take the sacrifice that is
remaining of the oblation of the Lord, and eat it without
leaven beside the altar, because it is holy of holies.
And you shall eat it in a holy place: which is given
to thee and thy sons of the oblations of the Lord, as
it hath been commanded me.
The breast also that is offered, and the shoulder that
is separated, you shall eat in a most clean place, thou
and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee. For they
are set aside for thee and thy children, of the victims
of peace offerings of the children of Israel:
Because they have elevated before the Lord the shoulder
and the breast, and the fat that is burnt on the altar,
and they belong to thee and to thy sons by a perpetual
law, as the Lord hath commanded.
While these things were a doing, when Moses sought for
the buck goat, that had been offered for sin, he found
it burnt: and being angry with Eleazar and Ithamar,
the sons of Aaron that were left, he said:
Why did you not eat in the holy place the sacrifice
for sin, which is most holy, and given to you, that
you may bear the iniquity of the people, and may pray
for them in the sight of the Lord,
Especially whereas none of the blood thereof hath been
carried within the holy places, and you ought to have
eaten it in the sanctuary, as was commanded me?
Aaron answered: This day hath been offered the victim
for sin, and the holocaust before the Lord: and to me
what thou seest has happened: how could I eat it, or
please the Lord in the ceremonies, having a sorrowful
heart?
Which when Moses had heard he was satisfied.
