1. Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu took their pans for burning incense, put fire in them, and added incense; but they did not use the special fire Moses had commanded them to use in the presence of the Lord.
|
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 H5921 , and offered H7126 strange H2114 fire H784 before H6440 the LORD H3068 , which H834 he commanded H6680 them not H3808 .
|
|
2. So fire came down from the Lord and destroyed Nadab and Abihu, and they died in front of the Lord.
|
2. And there went out H3318 fire H784 from H4480 H6440 the LORD H3068 , and devoured H398 them , and they died H4191 before H6440 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
3. Then Moses said to Aaron, "This is what the Lord was speaking about when he said, 'I must be respected as holy by those who come near me; before all the people I must be given honor.'" his sons.
|
3. Then Moses H4872 said H559 unto H413 Aaron H175 , This H1931 is it that H834 the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 , saying H559 , I will be sanctified H6942 in them that come nigh H7138 me , and before H5921 H6440 all H3605 the people H5971 I will be glorified H3513 . And Aaron H175 held his peace H1826 .
|
|
4. Aaron's uncle Uzziel had two sons named Mishael and Elzaphan. Moses said to them, "Come here and pick up your cousins' bodies. Carry them outside the camp away from the front of the Holy Place."
|
4. And Moses H4872 called H7121 H413 Mishael H4332 and Elzaphan H469 , the sons H1121 of Uzziel H5816 the uncle H1730 of Aaron H175 , and said H559 unto H413 them , Come near H7126 , carry H5375 H853 your brethren H251 from H4480 H854 before H6440 the sanctuary H6944 out of H413 H4480 H2351 the camp H4264 .
|
|
5. So Mishael and Elzaphan obeyed Moses and carried the bodies of Nadab and Abihu, still clothed in the special priest's inner robes, outside the camp.
|
5. So they went near H7126 , and carried H5375 them in their coats H3801 out of H413 H4480 H2351 the camp H4264 ; as H834 Moses H4872 had said H1696 .
|
|
6. Then Moses said to Aaron and his other sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, "Don't show sadness by tearing your clothes or leaving your hair uncombed. If you do, you will die, and the Lord will be angry with all the people. All the people of Israel, your relatives, may cry loudly about the Lord burning Nadab and Abihu,
|
6. And Moses H4872 said H559 unto H413 Aaron H175 , and unto Eleazar H499 and unto Ithamar H385 , his sons H1121 , Uncover H6544 not H408 your heads H7218 , neither H3808 rend H6533 your clothes H899 ; lest H3808 ye die H4191 , and lest wrath come H7107 upon H5921 all H3605 the people H5712 : but let your brethren H251 , the whole H3605 house H1004 of Israel H3478 , bewail H1058 H853 the burning H8316 which H834 the LORD H3068 hath kindled H8313 .
|
|
7. but you must not even leave the Meeting Tent. If you go out of the entrance, you will die, because the Lord has appointed you to his service." So Aaron, Eleazar, and Ithamar obeyed Moses.
|
7. And ye shall not H3808 go out H3318 from the door H4480 H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , lest H6435 ye die H4191 : for H3588 the anointing H4888 oil H8081 of the LORD H3068 is upon H5921 you . And they did H6213 according to the word H1697 of Moses H4872 .
|
|
8. Then the Lord said to Aaron,
|
8. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Aaron H175 , saying H559 ,
|
|
9. "You and your sons must not drink wine or beer when you go into the Meeting Tent. If you do, you will die. This law will continue from now on.
|
9. Do not H408 drink H8354 wine H3196 nor strong drink H7941 , thou H859 , nor thy sons H1121 with H854 thee , when ye go H935 into H413 the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , lest H3808 ye die H4191 : it shall be a statute H2708 forever H5769 throughout your generations H1755 :
|
|
10. You must keep what is holy separate from what is not holy; you must keep what is clean separate from what is unclean.
|
10. And that ye may put difference H914 between H996 holy H6944 and unholy H2455 , and between H996 unclean H2931 and clean H2889 ;
|
|
11. You must teach the people all the laws that the Lord gave to them through Moses."
|
11. And that ye may teach H3384 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 H853 all H3605 the statutes H2706 which H834 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 unto H413 them by the hand H3027 of Moses H4872 .
|
|
12. Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, "Eat the part of the grain offering that is left from the sacrifices offered by fire to the Lord, but do not add yeast to it. Eat it near the altar because it is most holy.
|
12. And Moses H4872 spoke H1696 unto H413 Aaron H175 , and unto H413 Eleazar H499 and unto H413 Ithamar H385 , his sons H1121 that were left H3498 , Take H3947 H853 the meat offering H4503 that remaineth H3498 of the offerings of the LORD made by fire H4480 H801 H3068 , and eat H398 it without leaven H4682 beside H681 the altar H4196 : for H3588 it H1931 is most holy H6944 H6944 :
|
|
13. You must eat it in a holy place, because this part of the offerings made by fire to the Lord belongs to you and your sons. I have been commanded to tell you this.
|
13. And ye shall eat H398 it in the holy H6918 place H4725 , because H3588 it is thy due H2706 , and thy sons H1121 ' due H2706 , of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire H4480 H801 H3068 : for H3588 so H3651 I am commanded H6680 .
|
|
14. "Also, you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast and thigh of the fellowship offering that was presented to the Lord. You must eat them in a clean place; they are your share of the fellowship offerings given by the Israelites.
|
14. And the wave H8573 breast H2373 and heave H8641 shoulder H7785 shall ye eat H398 in a clean H2889 place H4725 ; thou H859 , and thy sons H1121 , and thy daughters H1323 with H854 thee: for H3588 they be thy due H2706 , and thy sons H1121 ' due H2706 , which are given H5414 out of the sacrifices H4480 H2077 of peace offerings H8002 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
15. The people must bring the fat from their animals that was part of the offering made by fire, and they must present it to the Lord along with the thigh and the breast of the fellowship offering. They will be the regular share of the offerings for you and your children, as the Lord has commanded."
|
15. The heave H8641 shoulder H7785 and the wave H8573 breast H2373 shall they bring H935 with H5921 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 H1961 thine , and thy sons H1121 ' with H854 thee , by a statute H2706 forever H5769 ; as H834 the LORD H3068 hath commanded H6680 .
|
|
16. Moses looked for the goat of the sin offering, but it had already been burned up. So he became very angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's remaining sons. He said,
|
16. And Moses H4872 diligently sought H1875 H1875 the goat H8163 of the sin offering H2403 , and, behold H2009 , it was burnt H8313 : and he was angry H7107 with H5921 Eleazar H499 and Ithamar H385 , the sons H1121 of Aaron H175 which were left H3498 alive , saying H559 ,
|
|
17. "Why didn't you eat that goat in a holy place? It is most holy, and the Lord gave it to you to take away the guilt of the people, to remove their sins so they will belong to the Lord.
|
17. Wherefore H4069 have ye not H3808 eaten H398 H853 the sin offering H2403 in the holy H6944 place H4725 , seeing H3588 it H1931 is most holy H6944 H6944 , and God hath given H5414 it you to bear H5375 H853 the iniquity H5771 of the congregation H5712 , to make atonement H3722 for H5921 them before H6440 the LORD H3068 ?
|
|
18. You didn't bring the goat's blood inside the Holy Place. You were supposed to eat the goat in a holy place, as I commanded!"
|
18. Behold H2005 , H853 the blood H1818 of it was not H3808 brought in H935 within H6441 H413 the holy H6944 place : ye should indeed have eaten H398 H398 it in the holy H6944 place , as H834 I commanded H6680 .
|
|
19. But Aaron said to Moses, "Today they brought their sin offering and burnt offering before the Lord, but these terrible things have still happened to me! Do you think the Lord would be any happier if I ate the sin offering today?"
|
19. And Aaron H175 said H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , Behold H2005 , this day H3117 have they offered H7126 H853 their sin offering H2403 and their burnt offering H5930 before H6440 the LORD H3068 ; and such things H428 have befallen H7122 me : and if I had eaten H398 the sin offering H2403 today H3117 , should it have been accepted H3190 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 ?
|
|
20. When Moses heard this, he was satisfied.
|
20. And when Moses H4872 heard H8085 that , he was content H3190 H5869 .
