Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 10:2-16

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

³Then 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.

⁴Moses 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.”

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

⁶Moses 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.
