Levitico 10
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
A. Gravità delle irregolarità. Nadab e Abiu
10 Ora Nadab e Abiu, figli di Aronne, presero ciascuno un braciere, vi misero dentro il fuoco e il profumo e offrirono davanti al Signore un fuoco illegittimo, che il Signore non aveva loro ordinato. 2 Ma un fuoco si staccò dal Signore e li divorò e morirono così davanti al Signore. 3 Allora Mosè disse ad Aronne: «Di questo il Signore ha parlato quando ha detto: A chi si avvicina a me mi mostrerò santo e davanti a tutto il popolo sarò onorato». Aronne tacque.
B. Cadaveri asportati
4 Mosè chiamò Misael ed Elsafan, figli di Uziel, zio di Aronne, e disse loro: «Avvicinatevi, portate via questi vostri congiunti dal santuario, fuori dell'accampamento». 5 Essi si avvicinarono e li portarono via con le loro tuniche, fuori dell'accampamento, come Mosè aveva detto.
C. Regole di lutto speciali per i sacerdoti
6 Ad Aronne, a Eleazaro e a Itamar, suoi figli, Mosè disse: «Non vi scarmigliate i capelli del capo e non vi stracciate le vesti, perché non moriate e il Signore non si adiri contro tutta la comunità; ma i vostri fratelli, tutta la casa d'Israele, facciano pure lutto a causa della morte fulminea inflitta dal Signore. 7 Non vi allontanate dall'ingresso della tenda del convegno, così che non moriate; perché l'olio dell'unzione del Signore è su di voi». Essi fecero come Mosè aveva detto.
D. Proibizione dell'uso del vino
8 Il Signore parlò ad Aronne: 9 «Non bevete vino o bevanda inebriante né tu né i tuoi figli, quando dovete entrare nella tenda del convegno, perché non moriate; sarà una legge perenne, di generazione in generazione; 10 questo perché possiate distinguere ciò che è santo da ciò che è profano e ciò che è immondo da ciò che è mondo 11 e possiate insegnare agli Israeliti tutte le leggi che il Signore ha date loro per mezzo di Mosè».
E. La parte dei sacerdoti sulle offerte
12 Poi Mosè disse ad Aronne, a Eleazaro e a Itamar, figli superstiti di Aronne: «Prendete quel che è avanzato dell'oblazione dei sacrifici consumati dal fuoco in onore del Signore e mangiatelo senza lievito, presso l'altare; perché è cosa sacrosanta. 13 Dovete mangiarlo in luogo santo, perché è la parte che spetta a te e ai tuoi figli, tra i sacrifici consumati dal fuoco in onore del Signore: così mi è stato ordinato. 14 Il petto della vittima offerta da agitare secondo il rito e la coscia da elevare secondo il rito, li mangerete tu, i tuoi figli e le tue figlie con te in luogo mondo; perché vi sono stati dati come parte tua e dei tuoi figli, tra i sacrifici di comunione degli Israeliti. 15 Essi presenteranno, insieme con le parti grasse da bruciare, la coscia della vittima da elevare secondo il rito e il petto da agitare secondo il rito, perché siano agitati davanti al Signore; questo spetterà a te e ai tuoi figli con te, per diritto perenne, come il Signore ha ordinato».
F. Regola speciale sul sacrificio per il peccato
16 Mosè poi si informò accuratamente circa il capro del sacrificio espiatorio e seppe che era stato bruciato; allora si sdegnò contro Eleazaro e contro Itamar, figli superstiti di Aronne, dicendo: 17 «Perché non avete mangiato la vittima espiatrice nel luogo santo, trattandosi di cosa sacrosanta? Il Signore ve l'ha data, perché porti l'iniquità della comunità, perché su di essa compiate l'espiazione davanti al Signore. 18 Ecco, il sangue della vittima non è stato portato dentro il santuario; voi avreste dovuto mangiarla nel santuario, come io avevo ordinato». 19 Aronne allora disse a Mosè: «Ecco, oggi essi hanno offerto il loro sacrificio espiatorio e l'olocausto davanti al Signore; dopo le cose che mi sono capitate, se oggi avessi mangiato la vittima del sacrificio espiatorio, sarebbe piaciuto al Signore?». 20 Quando Mosè udì questo, rimase soddisfatto.
Lévitique 10
Nouvelle Edition de Genève – NEG1979
Le feu étranger apporté par Nadab et Abihu
10 Les fils d’Aaron, Nadab[a] et Abihu[b], prirent chacun un brasier, y mirent du feu, et posèrent du parfum dessus; ils apportèrent devant l’Eternel du feu étranger, ce qu’il ne leur avait point ordonné. 2 Alors le feu sortit de devant l’Eternel, et les consuma: ils moururent devant l’Eternel.
3 Moïse dit à Aaron: C’est ce que l’Eternel a déclaré, lorsqu’il a dit: Je serai sanctifié par ceux qui s’approchent de moi, et je serai glorifié en présence de tout le peuple. Aaron garda le silence. 4 Et Moïse appela Mischaël[c] et Eltsaphan[d], fils d’Uziel[e], oncle d’Aaron, et il leur dit: Approchez-vous, emportez vos frères loin du sanctuaire, hors du camp. 5 Ils s’approchèrent, et ils les emportèrent dans leurs tuniques hors du camp, comme Moïse l’avait dit.
6 Moïse dit à Aaron, à Eléazar[f] et à Ithamar[g], fils d’Aaron: Vous ne découvrirez point vos têtes, et vous ne déchirerez point vos vêtements, de peur que vous ne mouriez, et que l’Eternel ne s’irrite contre toute l’assemblée. Laissez vos frères, toute la maison d’Israël, pleurer sur l’embrasement que l’Eternel a allumé. 7 Vous ne sortirez point de l’entrée de la tente d’assignation, de peur que vous ne mouriez; car l’huile de l’onction de l’Eternel est sur vous. Ils firent ce que Moïse avait dit.
Prescriptions diverses
8 L’Eternel parla à Aaron, et dit: 9 Tu ne boiras ni vin, ni boisson enivrante, toi et tes fils avec toi, lorsque vous entrerez dans la tente d’assignation, de peur que vous ne mouriez: ce sera une loi perpétuelle parmi vos descendants, 10 afin que vous puissiez distinguer ce qui est saint de ce qui est profane, ce qui est impur de ce qui est pur, 11 et enseigner aux enfants d’Israël toutes les lois que l’Eternel leur a données par Moïse.
12 Moïse dit à Aaron, à Eléazar et à Ithamar, les deux fils qui restaient à Aaron: Prenez ce qui reste de l’offrande parmi les sacrifices consumés par le feu devant l’Eternel, et mangez-le sans levain près de l’autel: car c’est une chose très sainte. 13 Vous le mangerez dans un lieu saint; c’est ton droit et le droit de tes fils sur les offrandes consumées par le feu devant l’Eternel; car c’est là ce qui m’a été ordonné. 14 Vous mangerez aussi dans un lieu pur, toi, tes fils et tes filles avec toi, la poitrine qu’on a agitée de côté et d’autre et l’épaule qui a été présentée par élévation; car elles vous sont données, comme ton droit et le droit de tes fils, dans les sacrifices d’actions de grâces des enfants d’Israël. 15 Ils apporteront, avec les graisses destinées à être consumées par le feu, l’épaule que l’on présente par élévation et la poitrine que l’on agite de côté et d’autre devant l’Eternel: elles seront pour toi et pour tes fils avec toi, par une loi perpétuelle, comme l’Eternel l’a ordonné.
16 Moïse chercha le bouc expiatoire; et voici, il avait été brûlé. Alors il s’irrita contre Eléazar et Ithamar, les fils qui restaient à Aaron, et il dit: 17 Pourquoi n’avez-vous pas mangé la victime expiatoire dans le lieu saint? C’est une chose très sainte; et l’Eternel vous l’a donnée, afin que vous portiez l’iniquité de l’assemblée, afin que vous fassiez pour elle l’expiation devant l’Eternel. 18 Voici, le sang de la victime n’a point été porté dans l’intérieur du sanctuaire; vous deviez la manger dans le sanctuaire, comme cela m’avait été ordonné. 19 Aaron dit à Moïse: Voici, ils ont offert aujourd’hui leur sacrifice d’expiation et leur holocauste devant l’Eternel; et, après ce qui m’est arrivé, si j’avais mangé aujourd’hui la victime expiatoire, cela aurait-il été bien aux yeux de l’Eternel? 20 Moïse entendit et approuva ces paroles.

Leviticus 10
New International Version
The Death of Nadab and Abihu
10 Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu(A) took their censers,(B) put fire in them(C) and added incense;(D) and they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord,(E) contrary to his command.(F) 2 So fire came out(G) from the presence of the Lord and consumed them,(H) and they died before the Lord.(I) 3 Moses then said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke of when he said:
“‘Among those who approach me(J)
I will be proved holy;(K)
in the sight of all the people
I will be honored.(L)’”
Aaron remained silent.
4 Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan,(M) sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel,(N) and said to them, “Come here; carry your cousins outside the camp,(O) away from the front of the sanctuary.(P)” 5 So they came and carried them, still in their tunics,(Q) outside the camp, as Moses ordered.
6 Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar,(R) “Do not let your hair become unkempt[a](S) and do not tear your clothes,(T) or you will die and the Lord will be angry with the whole community.(U) But your relatives, all the Israelites, may mourn(V) for those the Lord has destroyed by fire. 7 Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting(W) or you will die, because the Lord’s anointing oil(X) is on you.” So they did as Moses said.
8 Then the Lord said to Aaron, 9 “You and your sons are not to drink wine(Y) or other fermented drink(Z) whenever you go into the tent of meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance(AA) for the generations to come, 10 so that you can distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean,(AB) 11 and so you can teach(AC) the Israelites all the decrees the Lord has given them through Moses.(AD)”
12 Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering(AE) left over from the food offerings prepared without yeast and presented to the Lord and eat it beside the altar,(AF) for it is most holy. 13 Eat it in the sanctuary area,(AG) because it is your share and your sons’ share of the food offerings presented to the Lord; for so I have been commanded.(AH) 14 But you and your sons and your daughters may eat the breast(AI) that was waved and the thigh that was presented. Eat them in a ceremonially clean place;(AJ) they have been given to you and your children as your share of the Israelites’ fellowship offerings. 15 The thigh(AK) that was presented and the breast that was waved must be brought with the fat portions of the food offerings, to be waved before the Lord as a wave offering.(AL) This will be the perpetual share for you and your children, as the Lord has commanded.”
16 When Moses inquired about the goat of the sin offering[b](AM) and found that it had been burned up, he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked, 17 “Why didn’t you eat the sin offering(AN) in the sanctuary area? It is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt(AO) of the community by making atonement for them before the Lord. 18 Since its blood was not taken into the Holy Place,(AP) you should have eaten the goat in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.(AQ)”
19 Aaron replied to Moses, “Today they sacrificed their sin offering and their burnt offering(AR) before the Lord, but such things as this have happened to me. Would the Lord have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?” 20 When Moses heard this, he was satisfied.

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.
