Leviticus 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.

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 * .
