Leviticus

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.
