Leviticus 10:1-7

The Death of Nadab and Abihu

1Now aNadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, beach took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered cunauthorized
Or strange
fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them.
2And fire ecame out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. 3Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord has said: ‘Among fthose who are near me gI will be sanctified, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” hAnd Aaron held his peace.

4And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of iUzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Come near; carry your brothers away from the front of the sanctuary and out of the camp.” 5So they came near and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said. 6And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar his sons, j“Do not let the hair of your heads hang loose, and do not tear your clothes, lest you die, and kwrath come upon all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning that the Lord has kindled. 7 lAnd do not go outside the entrance of the tent of meeting, lest you die, mfor the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you.” And they did according to the word of Moses.
