1 Then|strong="H3947" Aaron’s|strong="H0175" sons|strong="H1121" Nadab|strong="H5070" and|strong="H1121" Abihu|strong="H0030" made|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3947" mistake. They|strong="H0834" took|strong="H3947" their|strong="H3068" incense|strong="H7004" dishes and|strong="H1121" put|strong="H5414" some|strong="H0376" fire|strong="H0784" and|strong="H1121" incense|strong="H7004" in|strong="H5921" them|strong="H5414". But|strong="H3808" they|strong="H0834" did|strong="H0834" not|strong="H3808" use|strong="H3947" the|strong="H0853" fire|strong="H0784" that|strong="H0834" was|strong="H0834" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0853" altar—they|strong="H0834" took|strong="H3947" fire|strong="H0784" from|strong="H5921" some|strong="H0376" other|strong="H0376" place|strong="H7760" and|strong="H1121" brought|strong="H7126" it|strong="H7760" to|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068". This|strong="H0834" was|strong="H0834" not|strong="H3808" what|strong="H0834" he|strong="H0834" had|strong="H3068" commanded|strong="H6680".
2 So|strong="H3318" fire|strong="H0784" came|strong="H3318" from|strong="H3318" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" and|strong="H3068" destroyed|strong="H0398" Nadab and|strong="H3068" Abihu, and|strong="H3068" they|strong="H3068" died|strong="H4191" there|strong="H3068" in|strong="H3068" front|strong="H6440" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068".
3 Then|strong="H1696" Moses|strong="H4872" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Aaron|strong="H0175", “The|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" says|strong="H0559", ‘The|strong="H3605" priests who|strong="H0834" come near|strong="H7138" me|strong="H0413" must respect|strong="H6440" me|strong="H0413". I|strong="H0834" must be|strong="H3068" holy|strong="H6942" to|strong="H0413" them|strong="H0413" and|strong="H3068" to|strong="H0413" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971".’” So|strong="H0834" Aaron|strong="H0175" did|strong="H0834" not say|strong="H0559" anything|strong="H3605" about|strong="H5921" his|strong="H3605" sons dying.
4 Aaron’s|strong="H0175" uncle|strong="H1730" Uzziel|strong="H5816" had|strong="H4872" two sons|strong="H1121". They|strong="H0559" were|strong="H1121" Mishael|strong="H4332" and|strong="H1121" Elzaphan|strong="H0469". Moses|strong="H4872" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" these|strong="H0175" sons|strong="H1121", “Come|strong="H7126" here and|strong="H1121" get your|strong="H6440" cousins’ bodies and|strong="H1121" carry|strong="H5375" them|strong="H0413" away|strong="H5375" from|strong="H6440" this|strong="H6944" holy|strong="H6944" place|strong="H6944" and|strong="H1121" take|strong="H5375" them|strong="H0413" outside|strong="H2351" the|strong="H0853" camp|strong="H4264".”
5 So|strong="H0834" Mishael and|strong="H4872" Elzaphan obeyed Moses|strong="H4872". They|strong="H0834" carried|strong="H5375" the|strong="H0834" bodies of|strong="H4264" Nadab and|strong="H4872" Abihu outside|strong="H2351" the|strong="H0834" camp|strong="H4264". Nadab and|strong="H4872" Abihu were|strong="H0834" still wearing|strong="H5375" their|strong="H5375" special woven shirts.
6 Then|strong="H0853" Moses|strong="H4872" spoke|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Aaron|strong="H0175" and|strong="H1121" his|strong="H3605" other|strong="H0251" sons|strong="H1121" Eleazar|strong="H0499" and|strong="H1121" Ithamar|strong="H0385". He|strong="H0834" said|strong="H0559", “Don’t|strong="H0408" show any|strong="H3605" sadness! Don’t|strong="H0408" tear|strong="H6533" your|strong="H3068" clothes|strong="H0899" or|strong="H3808" mess up|strong="H5921" your|strong="H3068" hair|strong="H7218"! If|strong="H0834" you|strong="H0834" do|strong="H0408" anything|strong="H3605" to|strong="H0413" show your|strong="H3068" sadness, you|strong="H0834" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H4191" killed|strong="H4191", and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" Lord|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3068" show his|strong="H3605" anger against|strong="H5921" everyone|strong="H3605". But|strong="H3808" let|strong="H0408" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" other|strong="H0251" people|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478", your|strong="H3068" relatives|strong="H0251", cry for|strong="H5921" those|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" destroyed with|strong="H0413" fire|strong="H8316".
7 But|strong="H3588" you|strong="H3588" must|strong="H4191" not|strong="H3808" even|strong="H3588" leave|strong="H3318" the|strong="H5921" entrance|strong="H6607" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5921" Meeting|strong="H4150" Tent|strong="H0168". If|strong="H3588" you|strong="H3588" leave|strong="H3318", you|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3068" die|strong="H4191" because|strong="H3588" the|strong="H5921" LORD’S|strong="H3068" anointing|strong="H4888" oil|strong="H8081" is|strong="H3068" on|strong="H5921" you|strong="H3588".” So|strong="H6213" Aaron, Eleazar, and|strong="H3068" Ithamar obeyed Moses|strong="H4872".
8 Then|strong="H1696" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Aaron|strong="H0175",
9 “You|strong="H0859" and|strong="H1121" your|strong="H0935" sons|strong="H1121" must|strong="H4191" not|strong="H3808" drink|strong="H8354" wine|strong="H3196" or|strong="H3808" beer|strong="H7941" when|strong="H0935" you|strong="H0859" come|strong="H0935" into|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" Meeting|strong="H4150" Tent|strong="H0168". If|strong="H1121" you|strong="H0859" do|strong="H0408", you|strong="H0859" will|strong="H1121" die|strong="H4191". This|strong="H2708" law continues forever|strong="H5769" through|strong="H0935" your|strong="H0935" generations|strong="H1755".
10 You|strong="H0914" must be able to|strong="H0914" clearly tell the|strong="H0996" difference between|strong="H0996" what is|strong="H2889" holy|strong="H6944" and|strong="H6944" what is|strong="H2889" not holy|strong="H6944", between|strong="H0996" what is|strong="H2889" clean|strong="H2889" and|strong="H6944" what is|strong="H2889" unclean|strong="H2931".
11 And|strong="H1121" you|strong="H0834" must|strong="H0853" teach|strong="H3384" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H1121" about|strong="H0413" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" laws|strong="H2706" that|strong="H0834" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" gave them|strong="H0413" through|strong="H3027" Moses|strong="H4872".”
12 Aaron|strong="H0175" had|strong="H3068" two|strong="H3947" sons|strong="H1121" who|strong="H1931" were|strong="H1121" still alive, Eleazar|strong="H0499" and|strong="H1121" Ithamar|strong="H0385". Moses|strong="H4872" said|strong="H1696" to|strong="H0413" Aaron|strong="H0175" and|strong="H1121" his|strong="H3947" two|strong="H3947" sons|strong="H1121", “When|strong="H3588" people|strong="H1121" give|strong="H0398" sacrifices|strong="H6944" as|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3947" gift|strong="H4503" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068", some|strong="H3498" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0853" grain offering|strong="H4503" is|strong="H3068" not|strong="H3588" burned. Use|strong="H1931" that|strong="H3588" grain to|strong="H0413" make|strong="H3588" bread|strong="H4682" without yeast. You|strong="H3588" priests must|strong="H0853" eat|strong="H0398" that|strong="H3588" bread|strong="H4682" near|strong="H0681" the|strong="H0853" altar|strong="H4196" because|strong="H3588" that|strong="H3588" grain is|strong="H3068" very holy|strong="H6944".
13 The|strong="H0853" portion|strong="H2706" of|strong="H1121" food|strong="H0398" for|strong="H3588" you|strong="H3588" and|strong="H1121" your|strong="H3068" sons|strong="H1121" will|strong="H3068" come from|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0853" special gifts|strong="H0801" to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068", so|strong="H3651" you|strong="H3588" must|strong="H0853" eat|strong="H0398" that|strong="H3588" food|strong="H0398" in|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3588" holy|strong="H6918" place|strong="H4725".
14 “You|strong="H0859", your|strong="H5414" sons|strong="H1121", and|strong="H1121" your|strong="H5414" daughters|strong="H1323" may|strong="H2889" all|strong="H0398" eat|strong="H0398" the|strong="H0853" breast|strong="H2373" and|strong="H1121" thigh|strong="H7785" that|strong="H3588" were|strong="H3478" lifted up|strong="H5414" before|strong="H0854" the|strong="H0853" Lord as|strong="H1121" an|strong="H5414" offering|strong="H8641". But|strong="H3588" you|strong="H0859" must|strong="H0853" eat|strong="H0398" these in|strong="H3478" a|strong="H3588" place|strong="H4725" that|strong="H3588" is|strong="H1121" clean|strong="H2889" because|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" come from|strong="H3478" the|strong="H0853" fellowship offerings|strong="H8002". They|strong="H3588" are|strong="H3478" your|strong="H5414" share|strong="H5414" of|strong="H1121" those|strong="H1121" offerings|strong="H8002" that|strong="H3588" the|strong="H0853" Israelites|strong="H3478" give|strong="H5414" to|strong="H3478" God|strong="H5414".
15 The|strong="H6440" people|strong="H1121" must|strong="H1121" bring|strong="H0935" the|strong="H6440" gifts|strong="H0801" of|strong="H1121" fat|strong="H2459" from|strong="H0935" their|strong="H3068" animals|strong="H1961" as|strong="H0834" part|strong="H5921" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" sacrifice. They|strong="H0834" must|strong="H1121" also|strong="H3068" bring|strong="H0935" the|strong="H6440" thigh|strong="H7785" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" fellowship offering|strong="H0801" and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" breast|strong="H2373" that|strong="H0834" is|strong="H0834" lifted|strong="H5130" up|strong="H5921" to|strong="H0935" show|strong="H1961" it|strong="H5921" is|strong="H0834" offered|strong="H8641" in|strong="H5921" front|strong="H6440" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068". Then|strong="H1961" it|strong="H5921" will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H1961" your|strong="H3068" share of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" offering|strong="H0801". It|strong="H5921" will|strong="H3068" belong|strong="H1961" to|strong="H0935" you|strong="H0834" and|strong="H1121" your|strong="H3068" children|strong="H1121". That|strong="H0834" part|strong="H5921" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" sacrifices will|strong="H3068" be|strong="H1961" your|strong="H3068" share forever|strong="H5769", just|strong="H0834" as|strong="H0834" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" said.”
16 Moses|strong="H4872" looked|strong="H2009" for|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0853" goat|strong="H8163" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0853" sin|strong="H2403" offering, but|strong="H2009" it|strong="H5921" was|strong="H4872" already burned|strong="H8313" up|strong="H5921". Moses|strong="H4872" became|strong="H7107" very angry|strong="H7107" with|strong="H8313" Aaron’s|strong="H0175" other sons|strong="H1121" Eleazar|strong="H0499" and|strong="H1121" Ithamar|strong="H0385". Moses|strong="H4872" said|strong="H0559",
17 “Why|strong="H4069" did|strong="H3808" you|strong="H3588" not|strong="H3808" eat|strong="H0398" the|strong="H0853" sin|strong="H2403" offering|strong="H3068" in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0853" holy|strong="H6944" area|strong="H4725"! That|strong="H3588" meat is|strong="H3068" very holy|strong="H6944"! God|strong="H3068" gave|strong="H5414" it|strong="H5414" to|strong="H5921" you|strong="H3588" to|strong="H5921" carry|strong="H5375" away|strong="H5375" the|strong="H0853" guilt|strong="H5771" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H3808"—to|strong="H5921" make|strong="H5414" the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H3808" pure before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068".
18 That|strong="H0834" goat’s blood|strong="H1818" was|strong="H0834" not|strong="H3808" brought|strong="H0935" into|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0853" Holy|strong="H6944" Place|strong="H6944". So|strong="H3808" you|strong="H0834" should|strong="H0413" have|strong="H0834" eaten|strong="H0398" the|strong="H0853" meat in|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0853" holy|strong="H6944" area, just|strong="H0834" as|strong="H0834" I|strong="H0834" commanded|strong="H6680"!”
19 But|strong="H1696" Aaron|strong="H0175" said|strong="H1696" to|strong="H0413" Moses|strong="H4872", “Look|strong="H2005", today|strong="H3117" they|strong="H3117" brought|strong="H7126" their|strong="H3068" sin|strong="H2403" offering|strong="H7126" and|strong="H3068" burnt|strong="H5930" offering|strong="H7126" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068". But|strong="H1696" you|strong="H6440" know what|strong="H1696" happened|strong="H7122" to|strong="H0413" me|strong="H0413" today|strong="H3117"! Do|strong="H3190" you|strong="H6440" think|strong="H5869" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" would|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3068" happy|strong="H3190" if|strong="H2005" I|strong="H2005" ate|strong="H0398" the|strong="H0853" sin|strong="H2403" offering|strong="H7126" today|strong="H3117"?”
20 When|strong="H8085" Moses|strong="H4872" heard|strong="H8085" this, he|strong="H4872" agreed|strong="H8085".
