⁶ Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “^(A)Do not ^[a]uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you will not die and that He will not ^(B)become wrathful against all the congregation. But your ^[b]relatives, the whole house of Israel, shall weep over the burning which Yahweh has ^[c]brought about.

⁴⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer and put in it fire from the altar, and lay incense on it; then bring it quickly to the congregation and ^(A)make atonement for them, for ^(B)wrath has gone forth from Yahweh, the plague has begun!”

⁵ So you shall keep the ^(A)responsibility of the sanctuary and the responsibility of the altar, ^(B)so that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel.
