Leviticus 10:1-7
Legacy Standard Bible

Nadab and Abihu Offer Strange Fire

10 Then (A)Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective (B)firepans and put fire in them. Then they placed incense on it and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which He had not commanded them. 2 (C)And fire came out from the presence of Yahweh and consumed them, and they died before Yahweh. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “It is what Yahweh spoke, saying,

‘By those who (D)come near Me I [a](E)will be treated as holy,
And before all the people I will (F)be glorified.’”

So Aaron kept silent.

4 Then Moses called to (G)Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come near, carry your [b]relatives away from the front of the sanctuary to the outside of the camp.” 5 So they came near and carried them still in their (H)tunics to the outside of the camp, as Moses had said. 6 Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “(I)Do not [c]uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you will not die and that He will not (J)become wrathful against all the congregation. But your [d]relatives, the whole house of Israel, shall weep over the burning which Yahweh has [e]brought about. 7 You shall not even go out from the doorway of the tent of meeting, lest you die; for (K)the anointing oil of Yahweh is upon you.” So they did according to the word of Moses.

The Deaths of Nadab and Abihu

10 And Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took his censer, and they put fire in them and placed incense on it;[a] then[b] they presented before[c] Yahweh illegitimate fire, which he had not commanded them. 2 So[d] fire went out from before[e] Yahweh, and it consumed them so that[f] they died before[g] Yahweh. 3 Therefore[h] Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke, saying, ‘Among those who are close to me I will show myself holy, and in the presence of[i] all the people I will display my glory.’”[j] So[k] Aaron was silent.

4 Then[l] Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan the sons of Uzziel, Aaron’s uncle, and he said to them, “Come forward.[m] Carry your brothers from the front of[n] the sanctuary to outside the camp.”[o] 5 So[p] they came forward,[q] and they carried them outside the camp[r] in their tunics, just as Moses had ordered.

6 Then[s] Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “You must not let your hair hang loosely, and you must not tear your garments, so that[t] you will not die and he[u] will be angry with all the community. But[v] your brothers, all the house of Israel, may weep because of the burning that Yahweh caused,[w] 7 but[x] you must not go out from the entrance to[y] the tent of assembly lest you die, because Yahweh’s anointing oil is on you.” So[z] they did according to Moses’ word.
