Chapter 10
|
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. |
