Leviticus 10:3-11
New International Version
3 Moses then said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke of when he said:
“‘Among those who approach me(A)
I will be proved holy;(B)
in the sight of all the people
I will be honored.(C)’”
Aaron remained silent.
4 Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan,(D) sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel,(E) and said to them, “Come here; carry your cousins outside the camp,(F) away from the front of the sanctuary.(G)” 5 So they came and carried them, still in their tunics,(H) outside the camp, as Moses ordered.
6 Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar,(I) “Do not let your hair become unkempt[a](J) and do not tear your clothes,(K) or you will die and the Lord will be angry with the whole community.(L) But your relatives, all the Israelites, may mourn(M) for those the Lord has destroyed by fire. 7 Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting(N) or you will die, because the Lord’s anointing oil(O) 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(P) or other fermented drink(Q) whenever you go into the tent of meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance(R) for the generations to come, 10 so that you can distinguish between the holy and the common, between the unclean and the clean,(S) 11 and so you can teach(T) the Israelites all the decrees the Lord has given them through Moses.(U)”
