Then the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying: (A)“Do not drink wine or intoxicating drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, 10 that you may (B)distinguish between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean, 11 (C)and that you may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.”

All the days of his [b]separation he shall eat nothing that is produced by the grapevine, from seed to skin.
