3 Moseboken 10
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
Arons söner dör i eld
10 Men Arons söner Nadav och Avihu tog var sitt fyrfat, lade eld i dem och rökelse på elden och frambar otillåten eld inför Herren, en eld som han inte hade befallt. 2 Därför kom eld ner från Herren och förtärde dem så att de dog inför Herren. 3 Då sa Mose till Aron: ”Detta är vad Herren menade när han sa:
’Jag ska visa mig helig bland dem
som söker mig och står mig nära,
och jag ska förhärligas inför allt folket.’ ”
Aron sa inte ett enda ord.
4 Mose skickade sedan efter Mishael och Elsafan, söner till Arons farbror Ussiel, och sa till dem: ”Gå och hämta era kusiner från helgedomen och bär ut dem utanför lägret.”
5 De gick då och hämtade dem och bar ut dem utanför lägret i deras tunikor, så som Mose hade befallt.
6 Mose sa sedan till Aron och hans söner Elasar och Itamar: ”Låt inte ert hår vara okammat och riv inte sönder era kläder[a] för att ni inte ska dö och hela folket drabbas av vrede. Men era släktingar och alla andra i Israel kan sörja dem som elden från Herren förbrände. 7 Men ni får inte lämna ingången till uppenbarelsetältet för då kommer ni att straffas med döden för ni är smorda med Herrens smörjelseolja.”
De gjorde precis som Mose hade befallt.
8 Sedan sa Herren till Aron: 9 ”Du och dina söner ska aldrig dricka vin eller starka drycker när ni går in i uppenbarelsetältet, för då kommer ni att dö. Den regeln ska vara oföränderlig och gälla från generation till generation 10 för att ni ska kunna skilja mellan heligt och oheligt, rent och orent 11 och kunna undervisa israeliterna om de lagar som Herren gett genom Mose.”
12 Sedan sa Mose till Aron och de av hans söner som fanns kvar i livet, Elasar och Itamar: ”Ta vad som är kvar av matoffret när en handfull av det har blivit bränt på altaret åt Herren. Ät det osyrat vid altaret. Offret är högheligt. 13 Därför måste ni äta det på en helig plats. Den delen av eldoffret till Herren tillhör er och era söner för det har jag fått befallning om. 14 Men bringan som har lyfts upp och låret som getts till Herren kan ätas på vilken ren plats som helst. De tillfaller dig och dina söner och döttrar som er del av israeliternas gemenskapsoffer.
15 Låret som gavs ska tillsammans med bringan som lyftes upp som offer bäras fram tillsammans med fettet från eldoffret och lyftas fram inför Herren som ett lyftoffer. Sedan tillfaller det dig och dina barn som er andel för all framtid för det har Herren befallt.”
16 Sedan letade Mose efter bocken till syndoffret och upptäckte att den hade blivit uppbränd. Då blev han vred på Elasar och Itamar, Arons återstående söner och sa: 17 ”Varför har ni inte ätit upp syndoffret på den heliga platsen? Offret är högheligt, och det har getts till er för att ta bort menighetens skuld och skaffa försoning för dem inför Herren. 18 Eftersom blodet inte fördes in i helgedomens inre, skulle ni ha ätit köttet på helig plats som jag befallde er.”
19 Men Aron sa till Mose: ”De offrade sitt syndoffer och sitt brännoffer inför Herren och mig har det hänt som har hänt. Skulle det ha behagat Herren om jag hade ätit syndoffret på en sådan här dag?”
20 När Mose hörde detta lät han sig nöja.

Leviticus 10
King James Version
10 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.
Leviticus 10

The Deaths of Nadab and Abihu
10 And Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took his censer, and they put fire in them and placed incense on it;[a] then[b] they presented before[c] Yahweh illegitimate fire, which he had not commanded them. 2 So[d] fire went out from before[e] Yahweh, and it consumed them so that[f] they died before[g] Yahweh. 3 Therefore[h] Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke, saying, ‘Among those who are close to me I will show myself holy, and in the presence of[i] all the people I will display my glory.’”[j] So[k] Aaron was silent.
4 Then[l] Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan the sons of Uzziel, Aaron’s uncle, and he said to them, “Come forward.[m] Carry your brothers from the front of[n] the sanctuary to outside the camp.”[o] 5 So[p] they came forward,[q] and they carried them outside the camp[r] in their tunics, just as Moses had ordered.
6 Then[s] Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “You must not let your hair hang loosely, and you must not tear your garments, so that[t] you will not die and he[u] will be angry with all the community. But[v] your brothers, all the house of Israel, may weep because of the burning that Yahweh caused,[w] 7 but[x] you must not go out from the entrance to[y] the tent of assembly lest you die, because Yahweh’s anointing oil is on you.” So[z] they did according to Moses’ word.
Lasting Statutes
8 Then[aa] Yahweh spoke to Aaron, saying, 9 “You and your sons with you may not drink wine or[ab] strong drink when you come to the tent of assembly, so that[ac] you will not die—it is a lasting statute for your[ad] generations— 10 and to distinguish between the holy and the unholy,[ae] as well as[af] between the unclean and the clean, 11 and to teach the Israelites[ag] all the rules that Yahweh has spoken to them through[ah] Moses.”
12 Then[ai] Moses spoke to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “As for the remaining parts,[aj] take the remainder of the grain offering from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire and eat it, the unleavened bread, beside the altar, because it is a most holy thing.[ak] 13 And you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your allotted portion and the allotted portion of your sons from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire, for so I have been commanded. 14 And the wave offering’s breast section and the upper thigh of the contribution offering you[al] must eat in a clean place, you and your sons and your daughters with you, because they are given as your allotted portion and your sons’ allotted portion from the sacrifices of the Israelites’[am] fellowship offerings. 15 They must bring the thigh of the contribution offering and the breast section of the wave offering in addition to the offerings made by fire, consisting of the fat portions, to wave as a wave offering before[an] Yahweh; and it will be for you and for your sons with you as a lasting rule, just as Yahweh had commanded.”
The Problem of the Uneaten Sin Offering
16 Then[ao] Moses sought all over for the goat of the sin offering and behold, it was burned up. So[ap] he was angry with Aaron’s remaining sons Eleazar and Ithamar, saying, 17 “Why did you not eat the sin offering on the sanctuary’s site, because it is a most holy thing?[aq] And he gave it to you to remove the community’s guilt, to make atonement for them before[ar] Yahweh. 18 Look, its blood was not brought inside the sanctuary.[as] Certainly you should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”
19 So[at] Aaron said to Moses, “Look, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before[au] Yahweh, and things such as these have happened to me, and if I were to eat a sin offering today, would it have been good in Yahweh’s eyes?” 20 When[av] Moses heard, it[aw] was good in his eyes.
