Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu - took their censers , put fire and added incense - , and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD , - contrary to His command -.
| LXX |
So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them , and they died in the presence of the LORD.
| LXX |
Then Moses said to Aaron , “ This is what the LORD meant when He said : ‘ To those who come near Me I will show My holiness , and in the sight of all the people I will reveal My glory. ’” But Aaron remained silent.
| LXX |
Moses summoned Mishael - and Elzaphan , sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel , and said to them , “ Come here ; carry - the bodies of your cousins - outside the camp , away from the front of the sanctuary .... ”
| LXX |
So they came forward and carried them , still in their tunics , ... outside the camp , as Moses had directed.
| LXX |
Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar , “ Do not let your hair become disheveled and do not tear your garments , or else you will die , and the LORD will be angry with the whole congregation. But your brothers , the whole house of Israel , may mourn (on account of) - the fire that the LORD has ignited.
| LXX |
You shall not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting , or you will die , for the LORD’s anointing oil is on you. ” So they did as Moses instructed.
| LXX |
Then the LORD said to Aaron ... ,
| LXX |
“ You and your sons ... are not to drink wine or strong drink when you enter ... the Tent of Meeting , or else you will die ; this is a permanent statute for the generations to come.
| LXX |
You must distinguish between the holy ... and the common , between the clean and the unclean ... ,
| LXX |
so that you may teach - the Israelites ... - all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses. ”
| LXX |
And Moses said to Aaron ... and his remaining sons , Eleazar ... and Ithamar , “ Take - the grain offering that remains from the offerings made by fire to the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar , because it (is) most holy.
| LXX |
You shall eat - it in a holy place , because it is your share ... and your sons’ share of the offerings made by fire to the LORD ; for this is what I have been commanded.
| LXX |
And you and your sons and daughters ... may eat the breast of the wave offering - and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place , because these portions ... have been assigned to you and your children vvv from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.
| LXX |
They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering , together with the fat portions of the offerings made by fire , to wave as a wave offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children , ... ... as the LORD has commanded. ”
| LXX |
Later , Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering , and behold , it had been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar ... and Ithamar , Aaron’s remaining sons , and asked ,
| LXX |
“ Why didn’t you eat - the sin offering in the holy place ? For it - is most holy ; it was given to take away - the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD.
| LXX |
Since its blood ... was not brought - inside the holy (place) , you should have eaten ... - it in the sanctuary area , as I commanded. ”
| LXX |
But Aaron replied to Moses , “ Behold , this very day they presented - their sin offering - and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me , - if I had eaten the sin offering today , would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD ? ”
| LXX |
And when Moses heard this (explanation) , he was satisfied ....
