10:1 And the two sons of Aaron, Nadab and
Abiud, took each his censer, and put fire therein, and threw incense
thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which the Lord did not
command them,
10:2 and fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died
before the Lord.
10:3 And Moses said to Aaron, This is the thing which the Lord spoke,
saying, I will be sanctified among them that draw night to me, and I will be
glorified in the whole congregation; and Aaron was pricked [in his heart].
10:4 And Moses called Misadae, and Elisaphan, sons of Oziel, sons of the
brother of Aaron's father, and said to them, Draw near and take your
brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
10:5 And they came near and took them in their coats out of the camp, as
Moses said.
10:6 And Moses said to Aaron, and Eleazar and Ithamar his sons that were
left, Ye shall not make bare your heads, and ye shall not tear your
garments; that ye die not, and [so] there should be wrath on all the
congregation: but your brethren, [even] all the house of Israel, shall
lament for the burning, with which they were burnt by the Lord.
10:7 And ye shall not go forth from the door of the tabernacle of witness,
that ye die not; for the Lord's anointing oil [is] upon you: and they did
according to the word of Moses.
10:8 And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying,
10:9 Ye shall not drink wine nor strong drink, thou and thy sons with thee,
whensoever ye enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when ye approach the
altar, so shall ye not die; [it is] a perpetual statute for your
generations,
10:10 to distinguish between sacred and profane, and between clean and
unclean,
10:11 and to teach the children of Israel all the statutes, which the Lord
spoke to them by Moses.
10:12 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron
who survived, Take the sacrifice that is left of the burnt-offerings of the
Lord, and ye shall eat unleavened bread by the altar: it is most holy.
10:13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place; for this is a statute for thee
and a statute for thy sons, of the burnt-offerings to the Lord; for so it
has been commanded me.
10:14 And ye shall eat the breast of separation, and the shoulder of the
choice-offering in the holy place, thou and thy sons and thy house with
thee; for it has been given as an ordinance for thee and an ordinance for
thy sons, of the sacrifices of peace-offering of the children of Israel.
10:15 They shall bring the shoulder of the choice-offering, and the breast
of the separation upon the burnt-offerings of the fat, to separate for a
separation before the Lord; and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for thee
and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as the Lord commanded Moses.
10:16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, but it had
been consumed by fire; and Moses was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar the sons
of Aaron that were left, saying,
10:17 Why did ye not eat the sin-offering in the holy place? for because it
is most holy he has given you this to eat, that ye might take away the sin
of the congregation, and make atonement for them before the Lord.
10:18 For the blood of it was not brought into the holy place: ye shall eat
it within, before [the Lord], as the Lord commanded me.
10:19 And Aaron spoke to Moses, saying, If they have brought nigh to-day
their sin-offerings, and their whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord, and
these events have happened to me, and [yet] I should eat to-day of the
sin-offerings, would it be pleasing to the Lord?
10:20 And Moses heard [it], and it pleased him. |
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.
10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died
before the LORD.
10:3 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.
10:4 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.
10:5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as
Moses had said.
10:6 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.
10:7 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.
10:8 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
10:9 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:
10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between
unclean and clean;
10:11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which
the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
10:12 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:
10:13 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.
10:14 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.
10:15 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.
10:16 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,
10:17 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?
10:18 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.
10:19 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?
10:20 And when Moses heard that, he was content. |
