¹² And he shall take ^(A)a censer full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and he shall bring it inside the veil

The Death of Nadab and Abihu

10 Now ^(A)Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, ^(B)each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered ^(C)unauthorized^[a] fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them.

³⁴ The Lord said to Moses, ^(A)“Take sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense (of each shall there be an equal part), ³⁵ and make an ^(B)incense blended as by the ^(C)perfumer, ^(D)seasoned with salt, pure and holy. ³⁶ You shall beat some of it very small, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting ^(E)where I shall meet with you. ^(F)It shall be most holy for you. ³⁷ And the incense that you shall make ^(G)according to its composition, you shall not make for yourselves. It shall be for you holy to the Lord. ^38 (H)Whoever makes any like it to use as perfume shall be cut off from his people.”

³ And another angel came and stood ^(A)at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with ^(B)the prayers of all the saints on ^(C)the golden altar before the throne, ⁴ and ^(D)the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel.

⁴⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, and put fire on it from off the altar and lay incense on it and carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for ^(A)wrath has gone out from the Lord; the plague has begun.”

⁶ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. ⁷ And he ^(A)touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”

¹⁸ So every man took his censer and put fire in them and laid incense on them and stood at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

¹¹ and ^(A)the anointing oil and the fragrant ^(B)incense for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.”

¹⁴ how much more will ^(A)the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit ^(B)offered himself without blemish to God, ^(C)purify our^[a] conscience ^(D)from dead works ^(E)to serve the living God.
