chapter 10
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.
12 And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and
Ithamar, his sons that were left: Take the sacrifice that is remaining of the
oblation of the Lord, and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is
holy of holies.
13 And you shall eat it in a holy place: which is given
to thee and thy sons of the oblations of the Lord, as it hath been commanded
me.
14 The breast also that is offered, and the shoulder
that is separated, you shall eat in a most clean place, thou and thy sons, and
thy daughters with thee. For they are set aside for thee and thy children, of
the victims of peace offerings of the children of Israel:
15 Because they have elevated before the Lord the
shoulder and the breast, and the fat that is burnt on the altar, and they
belong to thee and to thy sons by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath commanded.
16 While these things were a doing, when Moses sought
for the buck goat, that had been offered for sin, he found it burnt: and being
angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, he said:
17 Why did you not eat in the holy place the sacrifice
for sin, which is most holy, and given to you, that you may bear the iniquity
of the people, and may pray for them in the sight of the Lord,
18 Especially whereas none of the blood thereof hath
been carried within the holy places, and you ought to have eaten it in the
sanctuary, as was commanded me?
19 Aaron answered: This day hath been offered the
victim for sin, and the holocaust before the Lord: and to me what thou seest
has happened: how could I eat it, or please the Lord in the ceremonies, having
a sorrowful heart?
20 Which when Moses had heard he was satisfied.
