¹ 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.

---

¹ And Nadab ^H5070 and Abihu, ^H30 the sons ^H1121 of Aaron, ^H175 took ^H3947 either ^H376 of them his censer, ^H4289 and put ^H5414 fire ^H784 therein, ^H2004 and put ^H7760 incense ^H7004 thereon, and offered ^H7126 strange ^H2114 fire ^H784 before ^H6440 the LORD, ^H3068 which he commanded ^H6680 them not.

² And there went out ^H3318 fire ^H784 from the LORD, ^H3068 and devoured ^H398 them, and they died ^H4191 before ^H6440 the LORD. ^H3068

³ Then Moses ^H4872 said ^H559 unto Aaron, ^H175 This is it that the LORD ^H3068 spake, ^H1696 saying, ^H559 I will be sanctified ^H6942 in them that come nigh ^H7138 me, and before ^H6440 all the people ^H5971 I will be glorified. ^H3513 And Aaron ^H175 held his peace. ^H1826

⁴ And Moses ^H4872 called ^H7121 Mishael ^H4332 and Elzaphan, ^H469 the sons ^H1121 of Uzziel ^H5816 the uncle ^H1730 of Aaron, ^H175 and said ^H559 unto them, Come near, ^H7126 carry ^H5375 your brethren ^H251 from before ^H6440 the sanctuary ^H6944 out ^H2351 of the camp. ^H4264

⁵ So they went near, ^H7126 and carried ^H5375 them in their coats ^H3801 out ^H2351 of the camp; ^H4264 as Moses ^H4872 had said. ^H1696

⁶ And Moses ^H4872 said ^H559 unto Aaron, ^H175 and unto Eleazar ^H499 and unto Ithamar, ^H385 his sons, ^H1121 Uncover ^H6544 not your heads, ^H7218 neither rend ^H6533 your clothes; ^H899 lest ye die, ^H4191 and lest wrath ^H7107 come upon all the people: ^H5712 but let your brethren, ^H251 the whole house ^H1004 of Israel, ^H3478 bewail ^H1058 the burning ^H8316 which the LORD ^H3068 hath kindled. ^H8313

⁷ And ye shall not go out ^H3318 from the door ^H6607 of the tabernacle ^H168 of the congregation, ^H4150 lest ye die: ^H4191 for the anointing ^H4888 oil ^H8081 of the LORD ^H3068 is upon you. And they did ^H6213 according to the word ^H1697 of Moses. ^H4872

⁸ And the LORD ^H3068 spake ^H1696 unto Aaron, ^H175 saying, ^H559

⁹ Do not drink ^H8354 wine ^H3196 nor strong drink, ^H7941 thou, nor thy sons ^H1121 with thee, when ye go ^H935 into the tabernacle ^H168 of the congregation, ^H4150 lest ye die: ^H4191 it shall be a statute ^H2708 for ever ^H5769 throughout your generations: ^H1755

¹⁰ And that ye may put difference ^H914 between holy ^H6944 and unholy, ^H2455 and between unclean ^H2931 and clean; ^H2889

¹¹ And that ye may teach ^H3384 the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 all the statutes ^H2706 which the LORD ^H3068 hath spoken ^H1696 unto them by the hand ^H3027 of Moses. ^H4872

¹² And Moses ^H4872 spake ^H1696 unto Aaron, ^H175 and unto Eleazar ^H499 and unto Ithamar, ^H385 his sons ^H1121 that were left, ^H3498 Take ^H3947 the meat offering ^H4503 that remaineth ^H3498 of the offerings ^H801 of the LORD ^H3068 made by fire, ^H801 and eat ^H398 it without leaven ^H4682 beside ^H681 the altar: ^H4196 for it is most ^H6944 holy: ^H6944

¹³ And ye shall eat ^H398 it in the holy ^H6918 place, ^H4725 because it is thy due, ^H2706 and thy sons' ^H1121 due, ^H2706 of the sacrifices ^H801 of the LORD ^H3068 made by fire: ^H801 for so I am commanded. ^H6680

¹⁴ And the wave ^H8573 breast ^H2373 and heave ^H8641 shoulder ^H7785 shall ye eat ^H398 in a clean ^H2889 place; ^H4725 thou, and thy sons, ^H1121 and thy daughters ^H1323 with thee: for they be thy due, ^H2706 and thy sons' ^H1121 due, ^H2706 which are given ^H5414 out of the sacrifices ^H2077 of peace offerings ^H8002 of the children ^H1121 of Israel. ^H3478

¹⁵ The heave ^H8641 shoulder ^H7785 and the wave ^H8573 breast ^H2373 shall they bring ^H935 with the offerings made by fire ^H801 of the fat, ^H2459 to wave ^H5130 it for a wave offering ^H8573 before ^H6440 the LORD; ^H3068 and it shall be thine, and thy sons' ^H1121 with thee, by a statute ^H2706 for ever; ^H5769 as the LORD ^H3068 hath commanded. ^H6680

¹⁶ And Moses ^H4872 diligently ^H1875 sought ^H1875 the goat ^H8163 of the sin offering, ^H2403 and, behold, it was burnt: ^H8313 and he was angry ^H7107 with Eleazar ^H499 and Ithamar, ^H385 the sons ^H1121 of Aaron ^H175 which were left ^H3498 alive, saying, ^H559

¹⁷ Wherefore have ye not eaten ^H398 the sin offering ^H2403 in the holy ^H6944 place, ^H4725 seeing it is most ^H6944 holy, ^H6944 and God hath given ^H5414 it you to bear ^H5375 the iniquity ^H5771 of the congregation, ^H5712 to make atonement ^H3722 for them before ^H6440 the LORD? ^H3068

¹⁸ Behold, ^H2005 the blood ^H1818 of it was not brought ^H935 in within ^H6441 the holy ^H6944 place: ye should indeed ^H398 have eaten ^H398 it in the holy ^H6944 place, as I commanded. ^H6680

¹⁹ And Aaron ^H175 said ^H1696 unto Moses, ^H4872 Behold, this day ^H3117 have they offered ^H7126 their sin offering ^H2403 and their burnt offering ^H5930 before ^H6440 the LORD; ^H3068 and such things have befallen ^H7122 me: and if I had eaten ^H398 the sin offering ^H2403 to day, ^H3117 should it have been accepted ^H3190 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD? ^H3068

²⁰ And when Moses ^H4872 heard ^H8085 that, he was content. ^{H3190 H5869}

---

¹ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.

² And there came forth fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.

³ Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that Jehovah 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, Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

⁵ So they drew 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, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither rend your clothes; that ye die not, and that he be not wroth with all the congregation: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.

⁷ And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

⁸ And Jehovah spake unto Aaron, saying,

⁹ Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

¹⁰ and that ye may make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

¹¹ and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken unto them by Moses.

¹² And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meal-offering that remaineth of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar; for it is most holy;

¹³ and ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy portion, and thy sons' portion, of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: for so I am commanded.

¹⁴ And the wave-breast and the heave-thigh shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they are given as thy portion, and thy sons' portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

¹⁵ The heave-thigh and the wave-breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave-offering before Jehovah: and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, as a portion for ever; as Jehovah 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 with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying,

¹⁷ Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Jehovah?

¹⁸ Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary within: ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.

¹⁹ And Aaron spake unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and there have befallen me such things as these: and if I had eaten the sin-offering to-day, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of Jehovah?

²⁰ And when Moses heard `that', it was well-pleasing in his sight.

---

¹ And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, take each his censer, and put in them fire, and put on it perfume, and bring near before Jehovah strange fire, which He hath not commanded them;

² and fire goeth out from before Jehovah, and consumeth them, and they die before Jehovah.

³ And Moses saith unto Aaron, `It `is' that which Jehovah hath spoken, saying, By those drawing near to Me I am sanctified, and in the face of all the people I am honoured;' and Aaron is silent.

⁴ And Moses calleth unto Mishael and unto Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, uncle of Aaron, and saith unto them, `Come near, bear your brethren from the front of the sanctuary unto the outside of the camp;'

⁵ and they come near, and bear them in their coats unto the outside of the camp, as Moses hath spoken.

⁶ And Moses saith unto Aaron, and to Eleazar, and to Ithamar his sons, `Your heads ye do not uncover, and your garments ye do not rend, that ye die not, and on all the company He be wroth; as to your brethren, the whole house of Israel, they bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled;

⁷ and from the opening of the tent of meeting ye do not go out, lest ye die, for the anointing oil of Jehovah `is' upon you;' and they do according to the word of Moses.

⁸ And Jehovah speaketh unto Aaron, saying,

⁹ `Wine and strong drink thou dost not drink, thou, and thy sons with thee, in your going in unto the tent of meeting, and ye die not -- a statute age-during to your generations;

¹⁰ so as to make a separation between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the pure;

¹¹ and to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.'

¹² And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar, and unto Ithamar his sons, who are left, `Take ye the present that is left from the fire-offerings of Jehovah, and eat it unleavened near the altar, for it `is' most holy,

¹³ and ye have eaten it in the holy place, for it `is' thy portion, and the portion of thy sons, from the fire-offerings of Jehovah; for so I have been commanded.

¹⁴ `And the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the heave-offering, ye do eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; for thy portion and the portion of thy sons they have been given, out of the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the sons of Israel;

¹⁵ the leg of the heave-offering, and breast of the wave-offering, besides fire-offerings of the fat, they do bring in to wave a wave-offering before Jehovah, and it hath been to thee, and to thy sons with thee, by a statute age-during, as Jehovah hath commanded.'

¹⁶ And the goat of the sin-offering hath Moses diligently sought, and lo, it is burnt, and he is wroth against Eleazar, and against Ithamar, sons of Aaron, who are left, saying,

¹⁷ `Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the holy place, for it `is' most holy -- and it He hath given to you to take away the iniquity of the company, to make atonement for them before Jehovah?

¹⁸ lo, its blood hath not been brought in unto the holy place within; eating ye do eat it in the holy place, as I have commanded.'

¹⁹ And Aaron speaketh unto Moses, `Lo, to-day they have brought near their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and `things' like these meet me, yet I have eaten a sin-offering to-day; is it good in the eyes of Jehovah?'

²⁰ And Moses hearkeneth, and it is good in his eyes.

---

¹ And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, took each of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and presented strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.

² And there went out fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.

³ And Moses said to Aaron, This is what Jehovah spoke, saying, I will be hallowed in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron was silent.

⁴ And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

⁵ And they went near, and carried them in their vests out of the camp, as Moses had said.

⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons, Your heads shall ye not uncover, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come on all the assembly; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.

⁷ And ye shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

⁸ And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying,

⁹ Thou shalt not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, and thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, lest ye die -- [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations,

¹⁰ that ye may put difference between the holy and the unholy, and between unclean and clean,

¹¹ and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses.

¹² And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the oblation that is left of Jehovah's offerings by fire, and eat it with unleavened bread beside the altar; for it is most holy.

¹³ And ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of Jehovah's offerings by fire; for so I am commanded.

¹⁴ And the breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; for [as] thy due, and thy sons' due, are they given of the sacrifices of peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

¹⁵ The shoulder of the heave-offering and the breast of the wave-offering shall they bring, with the fire-offering of the pieces of fat, to wave [them] as a wave-offering before Jehovah; and they shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, for an everlasting statute, as Jehovah has commanded.

¹⁶ And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, and behold, it was burnt up: then he was wroth with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying,

¹⁷ Why have ye not eaten the sin-offering in a holy place? for it is most holy, and he has given it to you that ye might bear the iniquity of the assembly, to make atonement for them before Jehovah.

¹⁸ Lo, its blood was not brought in within the sanctuary: ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.

¹⁹ And Aaron said to Moses, Behold, to-day have they presented their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before Jehovah; and such things have befallen me; and had I to-day eaten the sin-offering, would it have been good in the sight of Jehovah?

²⁰ And Moses heard it; and it was good in his sight.

---

¹ Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.

² And fire came forth from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.

³ Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, "'I will show myself holy to those who come near me, And before all the people I will be glorified.'" Aaron held his peace.

⁴ Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, "Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp."

⁵ So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.

⁶ Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, "Don't let the hair of your heads go loose, neither tear your clothes; that you don't die, and that he not be angry with all the congregation: but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.

⁷ You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you." They did according to the word of Moses.

⁸ Yahweh spoke to Aaron, saying,

⁹ "Drink no wine nor strong drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of Meeting, that you don't die: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations:

¹⁰ and that you are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

¹¹ and that you are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Yahweh has spoken to them by Moses."

¹² Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, "Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; for it is most holy;

¹³ and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons' portion, of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire: for so I am commanded.

¹⁴ The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons' portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.

¹⁵ The heaved thigh and the waved breast they shall bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be yours, and your sons' with you, as a portion forever; as Yahweh has commanded."

¹⁶ Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burned: and he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,

¹⁷ "Why haven't you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he has given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Yahweh?

¹⁸ Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary: you certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded."

¹⁹ Aaron spoke to Moses, "Behold, this day they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh; and such things as these have happend to me: and if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in the sight of Yahweh?"

²⁰ When Moses heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.

---

¹ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their vessels and put fire in them and perfume, burning strange fire before the Lord, which he had not given them orders to do.

² And fire came out from before the Lord, burning them up and causing their destruction before the Lord.

³ Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord said, I will be holy in the eyes of all those who come near to me, and I will be honoured before all the people. And Aaron said nothing.

⁴ And Moses sent for Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron's father, and said to them, Come near and take your brothers away from before the holy place, outside the tent-circle.

⁵ So they came and took them, in their coats, outside the tent-circle, as Moses had said.

⁶ And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, Do not let your hair be loose, and give no signs of grief; so that death may not overtake you, and his wrath come on all the people; but let there be weeping among your brothers and all the house of Israel for this burning of the Lord's fire.

⁷ And do not go out from the door of the Tent of meeting, or death will come to you; for the holy oil of the Lord is on you. And they did as Moses said.

⁸ And the Lord said to Aaron:

⁹ Take no wine, or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of meeting, that it may not be the cause of death to you; this is an order for ever through all your generations.

¹⁰ And make a division between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

¹¹ Teaching the children of Israel all the laws which the Lord has given them by the hand of Moses.

¹² And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons who were still living, Take the rest of the meal offering from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and take it for your food, without leaven, at the side of the altar, for it is most holy.

¹³ It is to be for your food in a holy place, because it is your right and your sons' right, from the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for so am I ordered.

¹⁴ And the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, you are to take as your food in a clean place; you and your sons and your daughters with you: for they are given to you as your right and your sons' right, from the peace-offerings of the children of Israel.

¹⁵ Let them take the breast which is waved and the leg which is lifted up on high, with the fat of the burned offering, to be waved for a wave offering before the Lord; and this will be for you and for your sons with you, for a right for ever, as the Lord has given orders.

¹⁶ And Moses was looking for the goat of the sin-offering, but it was burned; and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, who were still living, saying,

¹⁷ Why did you not make a meal of the sin-offering in the holy place? For it is most holy and he has given it to you, so that the sin of the people may be put on it, to take away their sin before the Lord.

¹⁸ See, its blood was not taken into the holy place: certainly it was right for you to have taken it as food in the holy place, as I gave orders.

¹⁹ And Aaron said to Moses, You have seen that today they have made their sin-offering and their burned offering before the Lord, and such things as these have come on me. If I had taken the sin-offering as food today, would it have been pleasing to the Lord?

²⁰ And after hearing this, Moses was no longer angry.
