² And there came forth fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.

⁶ And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither rend your clothes; that ye die not, and that he be not wroth with all the congregation: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.

⁵ And they came near and took them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses said.

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.

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.

⁸ And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying,

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 to distinguish between sacred and profane, and between clean and unclean,

¹¹ and to teach the children of Israel all the statutes, which the Lord spoke to them by Moses.

⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, and Eleazar and Ithamar his sons that were left, You° shall not make bare your heads, and you° shall not tear your garments; that you° 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.

⁷ And you° shall not go forth from the door of the tabernacle of witness, that you° die not; for the Lord's anointing oil is upon you: and they did according to the word of Moses.

⁸ And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying,

⁹ You° shall not drink wine nor strong drink, you and your sons with you, whenever you° enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when you° approach the altar, so shall you° not die; it is a perpetual statute for your generations,

¹⁰ to distinguish between sacred and profane, and between clean and unclean,

¹¹ and to teach the children of Israel all the statutes, which the Lord spoke to them by Moses.

⁶ And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither rend your clothes; that ye die not, and that he be not wroth with all the congregation: 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 tent of meeting, 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 Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

¹⁰ and that ye may put difference between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the 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.

¹ Two of Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, took the pans in which they burned incense. They put some burning coals in them and put incense on top of the coals, but this fire was not acceptable to Yahweh because it was not the kind that he had commanded them to burn.

² So suddenly a fire from Yahweh appeared and burned them up DOU in the presence of Yahweh.

³ Then Moses/I said to Aaron, “That is what Yahweh predicted. He said, ‘Those priests who come near to me, I will show them that they must ◄respect me/treat me as being holy►; in the presence of all the people I am the one who must be honored.’” But Aaron said nothing.

⁴ Then Moses/I summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, who were the sons of Aaron's uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Take the corpses of your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the Sacred Tent.”

⁵ So they carried the corpses, which still had their special gowns on, outside the camp, and buried them.

⁶ Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his other two sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “ You are sad because Nadab and Abihu died, but you must act like you always do. Do not allow the hair on your heads to remain uncombed, and do not tear your clothes. But your relatives and all your fellow Israelis are allowed to mourn for those whom Yahweh destroyed by fire.

⁷ But you must not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent to join those who are mourning, because if you do that, you also will die, and Yahweh will punish MTY all the people of Israel. Do not forget that Yahweh has set you apart MTY to work for him here, and he does not want you to become defiled by touching a corpse.” So they did what Moses/I told them to do.

⁸ Then Yahweh said to Aaron,

⁹ “You and your two sons who are still alive must not drink wine or other fermented drinks before you enter the Sacred Tent; if you do that, you will die. That is a command that you and your descendants must obey forever.

¹⁰ You must do that in order to learn what things are holy and what things are ◄not holy/common►, and from the things that are not holy you must learn what things are acceptable to me and what things are not.

¹¹ And you must teach to the Israeli people all the laws that I gave to the Israeli people by telling them to Moses.”

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,

² and fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

³ And Moses said to Aaron, This is the thing which the Lord spoke, saying, I will be sanctified amongst them that draw night to me, and I will be glorified in the whole congregation; and Aaron was pricked in his heart.

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.

⁵ And they came near and took them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses said.

⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, and Eleazar and Ithamar his sons that were left, You° shall not make bare your heads, and you° shall not tear your garments; that you° 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.

⁷ And you° shall not go forth from the door of the tabernacle of witness, that you° die not; for the Lord's anointing oil is upon you: and they did according to the word of Moses.

⁸ And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying,

⁹ You° shall not drink wine nor strong drink, you and your sons with you, whenever you° enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when you° approach the altar, so shall you° not die; it is a perpetual statute for your generations,

¹⁰ to distinguish between sacred and profane, and between clean and unclean,

¹¹ and to teach the children of Israel all the statutes, which the Lord spoke to them by Moses.

¹ Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.

² Fire came out from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.

³ Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, ‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” Aaron held his peace.

⁴ Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”

⁵ So they came near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.

⁶ Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.

⁷ You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.

⁸ Then Yahweh said to Aaron,

⁹ “You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

¹⁰ You are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.

¹¹ You are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Yahweh has spoken to them by Moses.”

¹ Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.

² Fire came out from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.

³ Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, ‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” Aaron held his peace.

⁴ Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”

⁵ So they came near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.

⁶ Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.

⁷ You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.

⁸ Then Yahweh said to Aaron,

⁹ “You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

¹⁰ You are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.

¹¹ You are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Yahweh has spoken to them by Moses.”

¹ Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them.

² Fire came out from before the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

³ Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke of, saying, ‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” Aaron held his peace.

⁴ Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”

⁵ So they came near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.

⁶ Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD has kindled.

⁷ You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.

⁸ Then The LORD said to Aaron,

⁹ “You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

¹⁰ You are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.

¹¹ You are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by Moses.”

¹ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their vessels and put fire in them and perfume, burning strange fire before the Lord, which he had not given them orders to do.

² And fire came out from before the Lord, burning them up and causing their destruction before the Lord.

³ Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord said, I will be holy in the eyes of all those who come near to me, and I will be honoured before all the people. And Aaron said nothing.

⁴ And Moses sent for Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron's father, and said to them, Come near and take your brothers away from before the holy place, outside the tent-circle.

⁵ So they came and took them, in their coats, outside the tent-circle, as Moses had said.

⁶ And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, Do not let your hair be loose, and give no signs of grief; so that death may not overtake you, and his wrath come on all the people; but let there be weeping among your brothers and all the house of Israel for this burning of the Lord's fire.

⁷ And do not go out from the door of the Tent of meeting, or death will come to you; for the holy oil of the Lord is on you. And they did as Moses said.

⁸ And the Lord said to Aaron:

⁹ Take no wine, or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of meeting, that it may not be the cause of death to you; this is an order for ever through all your generations.

¹⁰ And make a division between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

¹¹ Teaching the children of Israel all the laws which the Lord has given them by the hand of Moses.

¹ And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, took each of them his censer, and put fire in it, and put incense on it, and presented strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.

² And there went out fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.

³ And Moses said to Aaron, This is what Jehovah spoke, saying, I will be hallowed in them that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron was silent.

⁴ And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

⁵ And they went near, and carried them in their vests out of the camp, as Moses had said.

⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons, Your heads shall ye not uncover, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come on all the assembly; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled.

⁷ And ye shall not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

⁸ And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying,

⁹ Thou shalt not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, and thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, lest ye die — it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations,

¹⁰ that ye may put difference between the holy and the unholy, and between unclean and clean,

¹¹ and that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses.

¹ And Nadab and Abiu, the sons of Aaron, taking their censers, put fire therein, and incense on it, offering before the Lord strange fire: which was not commanded them.

² And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them, and they died before the Lord.

³ And Moses said to Aaron: This is what the Lord hath spoken: I will be sanctified in them that approach to me, and I will be glorified in the sight of all the people. And when Aaron heard this, he held his peace.

⁴ And Moses called Misael and Elisaphan, the sons of Oziel, the uncle of Aaron, and said to them: Go and take away your brethren from before the sanctuary, and carry them without the camp.

⁵ And they went forthwith and took them as they lay, vested with linen tunicks, and cast them forth, as had been commanded them.

⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons: Uncover not your heads, and rend not your garments, lest perhaps you die, and indignation come upon all the congregation. Let your brethren, and all the house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord has kindled:

⁷ But you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle, otherwise you shall perish, for the oil of the holy unction is on you. And they did all things according to the precept of Moses.

⁸ The Lord also said to Aaron:

⁹ You shall not drink wine nor any thing that may make drunk, thou nor thy sons, when you enter into the tabernacle of the testimony, lest you die: because it is an everlasting precept through your generations:

¹⁰ And that you may have knowledge to discern between holy and unholy, between unclean and clean:

¹¹ And may teach the children of Israel all my ordinances which the Lord hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses.

¹ Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, set light to their incense burners using ordinary fire and put in incense, and in this way offered forbidden fire in the Lord's presence, something he had not authorized.

² Fire came out from the Lord's presence and burned them up. They died in the Lord's presence.

³ Moses explained to Aaron, “This is what the Lord was talking about when he said: ‘I will show my holiness to those who approach me; I will reveal my glory so everyone can see.” But Aaron didn't reply.

⁴ Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron's uncle Uzziel, and told them, “Come and carry away the bodies of your cousins and take them outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”

⁵ They came and picked them up by their clothes, and took them outside the camp, as Moses had ordered.

⁶ Then Moses told Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Don't leave your hair uncombed, and don't tear your clothes in mourning, otherwise you will die, and the Lord will be angry with everyone. But your relatives and all the other Israelites may mourn for those the Lord killed by fire.

⁷ Don't go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, because you have been anointed by the Lord.” They did what Moses said.

⁸ The Lord told Aaron,

⁹ “You and your descendants must not to drink wine or any other alcohol when you go in to the Tent of Meeting, otherwise you will die. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.

¹⁰ You must realize the difference between the holy and the ordinary, between clean and unclean,

¹¹ so you can teach the Israelites all the regulations that the Lord has given to them through Moses.”

¹ But Nadab and Abihu, the sonnes of Aaron, tooke either of them his censor, and put fire therein, and put incense thereupon, and offred strange fire before the Lord, which hee had not commanded them.

² Therefore a fire went out from the Lord, and deuoured them: so they dyed before the Lord.

³ Then Moses sayde vnto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will bee sanctified in the that come neere me, and before all the people I will be glorified: but Aaron held his peace.

⁴ And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan the sonnes of Vzziel, the vncle of Aaron, and saide vnto them, Come neere, cary your brethre from before the Sanctuarie out of the hoste.

⁵ Then they went, and caried them in their coates out of the host, as Moses had comaunded.

⁶ After, Moses saide vnto Aaron and vnto Eleazar and Ithamar his sonnes, Vncouer not your heads, neither rent your clothes, least ye dye, and least wrath come vpon all ye people: but let your brethren, all the house of Israel bewayle the burning which the Lord hath kindled.

⁷ And go not yee out from the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, least ye dye: for the anointing oyle of the Lord is vpon you: and they did according to Moses commandement.

⁸ And the Lord spake vnto Aaron, saying,

⁹ Thou shalt not drinke wine nor strong drinke, thou, nor thy sonnes with thee, when yee come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, lest ye die: this is an ordinance for euer throughout your generations,

¹⁰ That ye may put difference betweene the holy and the vnholy, and betweene the cleane and the vncleane,

¹¹ And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath commanded them by the hand of Moses.

¹ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each of them his censer, and put fire therein, and laid incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded them.

² And there came forth fire from before the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

³ Then Moses said unto Aaron: 'This is it that the LORD spoke, saying: Through them that are nigh unto Me I will be sanctified, 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: 'Draw near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.'

⁵ So they drew near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.

⁶ And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons: 'Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither tend your clothes, that ye die not, and that He be not wroth with all the congregation; 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 tent of meeting, 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 spoke unto Aaron, saying:

⁹ 'Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye die not; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

¹⁰ And that ye may put difference between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the 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.'

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 you 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 you 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.

¹ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took each his censer, and they put therein fire, and put thereon incense: and they brought near before the Lord a strange fire, which he had not commanded them.

² And there went out a fire from before the Lord, and consumed them, and they died before the Lord.

³ Then said Moses unto Aaron, This is what the Lord hath spoken, saying, On those who are near unto me will I be sanctified, and before all the people will I be glorified: and Aaron held his peace.

⁴ And Moses called unto Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of 'Uzziel, the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary to without the camp.

⁵ And they came near, and carried them in their coats to without the camp; as Moses had spoken.

⁶ And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Elazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, The hair of your head you shall not let grow long, and your garments you shall not rend, that ye die not, and that he be not wroth upon the whole congregation; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, may bewail the burning which the Lord hath kindled.

⁷ And from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation shall ye not go out, 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 spoke unto Aaron, saying,

⁹ Wine or strong drink shalt thou not drink, neither thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.

¹⁰ So that ye may be able to distinguish between the holy and the unholy, and between the unclean and the clean;

¹¹ And that ye may be able to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

¹ And the two sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, 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,

² and fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

³ And Moses said to Aaron, This is the thing which the Lord spoke, saying, I will be sanctified among them that draw nigh to me, and I will be glorified in the whole congregation; and Aaron was pricked in his heart.

⁴ And Moses called Mishael, and Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, 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.

⁵ And they came near and took them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses said.

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 burned by the Lord.

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.

⁸ And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying,

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 to distinguish between sacred and profane, and between clean and unclean,

¹¹ and to teach the children of Israel all the statutes, which the Lord spoke to them by Moses.

¹ But the sons of Aharon, Nadab and Abihu, took each man his censer and put fire in them, and put sweet incense upon it, and offered (or brought) before the Lord strange fire which He had not commanded them.

² And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord.

³ And Mosheh said unto Aharon, This is that which the Lord spake, saying, In them who approacheth Me I will be sanctified, and in the face of all the people will I be glorified. And Aharon was silent.

⁴ And Mosheh called to Mishael and to Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aharon, and said to them, Come nigh, and carry your brethren from before the sanctuary without the camp.

⁵ And they came nigh, and carried them in their vestments out of the camp, as Mosheh had spoken.

⁶ And Mosheh said to Aharon and to Elazar and to Ithamar his sons, Make not bare your heads, nor rend your garments, lest you die, and wrath be upon all the congregation; but let your brethren and all the house of Israel bewail the burning which the Lord hath kindled;

⁷ And go not forth from the door of the tabernacle of ordinance, lest you die; for the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you. And they did according to the word of Mosheh.

⁸ And the Lord spake unto Aharon, saying:

⁹ Drink not wine nor strong drink, neither thou nor thy sons with thee, when you enter into the tabernacle of ordinance, that you die not. It is an everlasting statute unto your generations,

¹⁰ For the distinguishment between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean;

¹¹ And that you may teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken to them through Mosheh.

¹ Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron Light-bringer, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Adonai , which he had not enjoined them.

² Fire came out from before Adonai , and devoured them, and they died before Adonai .

³ Then Moses Drawn out said to Aaron Light-bringer, “This is what Adonai spoke of, saying, ‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” Aaron Light-bringer held his peace.

⁴ Moses Drawn out called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the dod ·uncle· of Aaron Light-bringer, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”

⁵ So they came near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses Drawn out had said.

⁶ Moses Drawn out said to Aaron Light-bringer, and to Eleazar Help of God and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes; so that you don’t die, and so that he not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel God prevails, bewail the burning which Adonai has kindled.

⁷ You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Adonai is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses Drawn out.

⁸ Then Adonai said to Aaron Light-bringer,

⁹ “You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a regulation forever throughout all your generations.

¹⁰ You are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.

¹¹ You are to teach the children of Israel God prevails all the statutes which Adonai has spoken to them by Moses Drawn out.” (4)

¹ Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aaron, each took his censer, put fire in it, and then incense. Then they offered unapproved fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them to offer.

² So fire came out from before Yahweh and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.

³ Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh was talking about when he said, 'I will reveal my holiness to those who come near me. I will be glorified before all the people.'” Aaron did not say anything.

⁴ Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Come here and carry your brothers out of the camp from before the tabernacle.”

⁵ So they came near and carried them, still wearing their priestly tunics, out of the camp, as Moses had instructed.

⁶ Then Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Do not let your hair on your heads hang loosely, and do not tear your clothes, so that you may not die, and so that Yahweh may not be angry with all the assembly. But allow your relatives, the entire house of Israel, to mourn for those whom the fire of Yahweh has set ablaze.

⁷ You must not go out from the entrance of the tent of meeting, or you will die, for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you.” So they acted according to Moses' instructions.

⁸ Yahweh spoke to Aaron, saying,

⁹ “Do not drink wine or strong drink, you, or your sons who remain with you, when you go into the tent of meeting, so you will not die. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations,

¹⁰ to distinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean,

¹¹ so that you may teach the people of Israel all the statutes that Yahweh has commanded through Moses.”

¹ Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.

⁴ Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”

⁶ Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.

⁷ You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.

⁷ You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.

² And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

⁵ So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.

⁶ And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to 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 spoke to 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 make a 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 to them by the hand of Moses.

¹ Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them.

¹ And when Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, had taken censers, and putted or put fire, and incense there above, and offered before the Lord alien fire, which thing was not commanded to them.

² And fire went out from the Lord, and devoured them, and they were dead before the Lord.

³ And Moses said to Aaron, This thing it is that the Lord spake, I shall be hallowed in them that nigh to me, and I shall be glorified in the sight of all the people; which thing Aaron heard, and was still.

⁴ Soothly when Moses had called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron’s father, he said to them, Go ye, and take away your brethren from the sight of the saintuary, and bear ye them out of the tents.

⁵ And anon they went, and took them, as they lay clothed with linen coats, and casted them out, as it was commanded to them.

⁶ And Moses spake to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, Do not ye make naked your heads, and do not ye rend your clothes, lest peradventure ye die, and indignation of God rise upon all the company; your brethren and all the house of Israel bewail the burning which the Lord hath raised up.

⁷ But ye shall not go out of the gates of the tabernacle, else ye shall perish; for the oil of holy anointing is on you. The which did all things by the behest of Moses.

⁸ Also the Lord said to Aaron,

⁹ Thou and thy sons shall not drink wine, and all thing that may make drunken, when ye shall enter into the tabernacle of witnessing, lest ye die; for it is everlasting behest into your generations,

¹⁰ and that ye have knowing to make doom betwixt holy thing and unholy, betwixt polluted thing and clean;

¹¹ and that ye teach the sons of Israel all my lawful things, which the Lord spake to them by the hand of Moses.

¹ And when Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, had taken censers, and putted fire (therein), and incense there above, and offered before the Lord alien fire, which thing was not commanded to them. (But then Nadab and Abihu, Aaron’s sons, took their censers, and put fire in them, and some incense on it, and offered unholy fire before the Lord, which they were not commanded to do.)

² And fire went out from the Lord, and devoured them, and they were dead before the Lord.

³ And Moses said to Aaron, This thing it is that the Lord spake (or This is what the Lord meant when he said), I shall be hallowed in them that nigh to me, and I shall be glorified in the sight of all the people; which thing Aaron heard, and was still.

⁴ Soothly when Moses had called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron’s father, he said to them, Go ye, and take away your brethren from the sight of the saintuary, and bear ye them out of the tents, (or Go ye, and take away your cousins’ bodies from the sanctuary, and take ye them away from the tents).

⁵ And anon they went, and took them, as they lay clothed with linen coats, and casted them out, as it was commanded to them. (And at once they went, and took them, as they lay clothed in their linen shirts, or in their linen robes, and cast them out, as it was commanded to them.)

⁶ And Moses spake to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, Do not ye make naked your heads, and do not ye rend your clothes, lest peradventure ye die, and (the) indignation of God rise upon all the company; (but let) your brethren and all the house of Israel bewail the burning which the Lord hath raised up. (And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons, Do not ye make your heads naked, and do not ye tear your clothes, lest ye die, and God’s indignation rise up against all the congregation; but let your brothers and all the house of Israel bewail the burning which the Lord hath raised up.)

⁷ But ye shall not go out of the gates of the tabernacle, else ye shall perish; for the oil of holy anointing is on you, (or But ye shall not leave the entrance to the Tabernacle, for ye shall perish, for the Lord’s anointing oil is upon you). The which did all things by the behest of Moses.

⁸ Also the Lord said to Aaron, (And the Lord said to Aaron,)

⁹ Thou and thy sons shall not drink wine, and all thing that may make drunken, when ye shall enter into the tabernacle of witnessing, lest ye die; for it is everlasting behest into your generations, (Thou and thy sons shall not drink wine, or anything that can make ye drunk, when ye shall enter into the Tabernacle of the Witnessing, lest ye die; this is an everlasting law for all your generations,)

¹⁰ and that ye have knowing to make doom betwixt holy thing and unholy, betwixt polluted thing and clean; (so that ye can judge between holy and unholy things, and between unclean, and clean things;)

¹¹ and that ye teach the sons of Israel all my lawful things (or and that ye teach the Israelites all my laws), which the Lord spake to them by the hand of Moses.

¹ And whanne Nadab and Abyu, the sones of Aaron, hadden take censeris, thei puttiden fier and encense aboue, and offriden bifor the Lord alien fier, which thing was not comaundid to hem.

² And fier yede out fro the Lord, and deuouride hem, and thei weren deed bifor the Lord.

³ And Moises seide to Aaron, This thing it is which the Lord spak, Y schal be halewid in hem that neiyen to me, and Y schal be glorified in the siyt of al the puple; which thing Aaron herde, and was stille.

⁴ Sotheli whanne Moises hadde clepid Mysael and Elisaphan, the sones of Oziel, brother of Aaron's fadir, he seide to hem, Go ye, and take awey youre britheren fro the siyt of seyntuarie, and bere ye out of the castels.

⁵ And anoon thei yeden, and token hem, as thei laien clothid with lynnun cootis, and castiden out, as it was comaundid to hem.

⁶ And Moises spak to Aaron, and to Eliasar and Ithamar, the sones of Aaron, Nyle ye make nakid youre heedis, and nyle ye reende clothis, lest perauenture ye dien, and indignacioun rise on al the cumpany; youre britheren and all the hows of Israel byweile the brennyng which the Lord reiside.

⁷ But ye schulen not go out of the yatis of the tabernacle, ellis ye schulen perische; for the oile of hooli anoyntyng is on you. Whiche diden alle thingis bi the comaundement of Moises.

⁸ Also the Lord seide to Aaron,

⁹ Thou and thi sones schulen not drynke wyn, and al thing that may make drunkun, whanne ye schulen entre in to the tabernacle of witnessing, lest ye dien; for it is euerlastynge comaundement in to youre generaciouns,

¹⁰ that ye haue kunnyng to make doom bytwixe hooli thing and vnhooli, bitwixe pollutid thing and cleene;

¹¹ and that ye teche the sones of Israel alle my lawful thingis, whiche the Lord spak to hem bi the hond of Moyses.

¹ And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, take each his censer, and put in them fire, and put on it perfume, and bring near before Jehovah strange fire, which He hath not commanded them;

² and fire goeth out from before Jehovah, and consumeth them, and they die before Jehovah.

³ And Moses saith unto Aaron, 'It is that which Jehovah hath spoken, saying, By those drawing near to Me I am sanctified, and in the face of all the people I am honoured;' and Aaron is silent.

⁴ And Moses calleth unto Mishael and unto Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, uncle of Aaron, and saith unto them, 'Come near, bear your brethren from the front of the sanctuary unto the outside of the camp;'

⁵ and they come near, and bear them in their coats unto the outside of the camp, as Moses hath spoken.

⁶ And Moses saith unto Aaron, and to Eleazar, and to Ithamar his sons, 'Your heads ye do not uncover, and your garments ye do not rend, that ye die not, and on all the company He be wroth; as to your brethren, the whole house of Israel, they bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled;

⁷ and from the opening of the tent of meeting ye do not go out, lest ye die, for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you;' and they do according to the word of Moses.

⁸ And Jehovah speaketh unto Aaron, saying,

⁹ 'Wine and strong drink thou dost not drink, thou, and thy sons with thee, in your going in unto the tent of meeting, and ye die not — a statute age-during to your generations;

¹⁰ so as to make a separation between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the pure;

¹¹ and to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.'
