Chapter 10
The Sin of Nadab and Abihu
1
Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense -, and offered unauthorized fire before [[YHWH|the LORD]], contrary to His command -.
אַ֠הֲרֹן בְנֵֽי־ נָדָ֨ב וַאֲבִיה֜וּא אִ֣ישׁ וַיִּקְח֣וּ מַחְתָּת֗וֹ וַיִּתְּנ֤וּ אֵ֔שׁ בָהֵן֙ וַיָּשִׂ֥ימוּ קְטֹ֑רֶת עָלֶ֖יהָ וַיַּקְרִ֜בוּ זָרָ֔ה אֵ֣שׁ לִפְנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֧ר לֹ֦א צִוָּ֖ה אֹתָֽם׃ ’a·hă·rōn ḇə·nê- nā·ḏāḇ wa·’ă·ḇî·hū ’îš way·yiq·ḥū maḥ·tā·ṯōw way·yit·tə·nū ’êš ḇā·hên way·yā·śî·mū qə·ṭō·reṯ ‘ā·le·hā way·yaq·ri·ḇū zā·rāh ’êš lip̄·nê Yah·weh ’ă·šer lō ṣiw·wāh ’ō·ṯām — WLC · 1
Καὶ λαβόντες οἱ δύο υἱοὶ Ἀαρὼν Ναδὰβ καὶ Ἀβιοὺδ τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπ’ αὐτὸ πῦρ καὶ ἐπέβαλον ἐπ’ αὐτὸ θυμίαμα, καὶ προσήνεγκαν ἔναντι κυρίου πῦρ ἀλλότριον ὃ οὐ προσέταξεν Κύριος αὐτοῖς. — LXX Swete · 1
2
So fire came out from the presence of [[YHWH|the LORD]] and consumed them, and they died in the presence of [[YHWH|the LORD]].
אֵ֛שׁ וַתֵּ֥צֵא מִלִּפְנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה וַתֹּ֣אכַל אוֹתָ֑ם וַיָּמֻ֖תוּ לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ ’êš wat·tê·ṣê mil·lip̄·nê Yah·weh wat·tō·ḵal ’ō·w·ṯām way·yā·mu·ṯū lip̄·nê Yah·weh — WLC · 2
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πῦρ παρὰ κυρίου καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτούς, καὶ ἀπέθανον ἔναντι Κυρίου. — LXX Swete · 2

Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what [[YHWH|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.
מֹשֶׁ֜ה וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֶֽל־ אַהֲרֹ֗ן הוּא֩ אֲשֶׁר־ יְהוָ֤ה׀ דִּבֶּ֨ר לֵאמֹר֙ בִּקְרֹבַ֣י אֶקָּדֵ֔שׁ וְעַל־ פְּנֵ֥י כָל־ הָעָ֖ם אֶכָּבֵ֑ד אַהֲרֹֽן׃ וַיִּדֹּ֖ם mō·šeh way·yō·mer ’el- ’a·hă·rōn hū ’ă·šer- Yah·weh dib·ber lê·mōr biq·rō·ḇay ’eq·qā·ḏêš wə·‘al- pə·nê ḵāl hā·‘ām ’ek·kā·ḇêḏ ’a·hă·rōn way·yid·dōm — WLC · 3

4
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…”
מֹשֶׁ֗ה וַיִּקְרָ֣א אֶל־ מִֽישָׁאֵל֙ וְאֶ֣ל אֶלְצָפָ֔ן בְּנֵ֥י אַהֲרֹ֑ן דֹּ֣ד עֻזִּיאֵ֖ל וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם קִ֠רְב֞וּ שְׂא֤וּ אֶת־ אֲחֵיכֶם֙ מֵאֵ֣ת מִח֖וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃ פְּנֵי־ הַקֹּ֔דֶשׁ אֶל־ mō·šeh way·yiq·rā ’el- mî·šā·’êl wə·’el ’el·ṣā·p̄ān bə·nê ’a·hă·rōn dōḏ ‘uz·zî·’êl way·yō·mer ’ă·lê·hem qir·ḇū śə·’ū ’eṯ- ’ă·ḥê·ḵem mê·’êṯ mi·ḥūṣ lam·ma·ḥă·neh pə·nê- haq·qō·ḏeš ’el- — WLC · 4

5
So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics,… outside the camp, as Moses had directed.
וַֽיִּקְרְב֗וּ וַיִּשָּׂאֻם֙ בְּכֻתֳּנֹתָ֔ם אֶל־ מִח֖וּץ לַֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר מֹשֶֽׁה׃ דִּבֶּ֥ר way·yiq·rə·ḇū way·yiś·śā·’um bə·ḵut·to·nō·ṯām ’el- mi·ḥūṣ lam·ma·ḥă·neh ka·’ă·šer mō·šeh dib·ber — WLC · 5
καὶ προσῆλθον καὶ ἦραν ἐν τοῖς χιτῶσιν αὐτῶν ἔξω παρεμβολῆς, ὃν τρόπον εἶπεν Μωυσῆς. — LXX Swete · 5
6
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 [[YHWH|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 [[YHWH|the LORD]] has ignited.

You shall not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, for [[YHWH|the LORD]]’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did as Moses instructed.
לֹ֤א תֵֽצְאוּ֙ וּמִפֶּתַח֩ אֹ֨הֶל מוֹעֵ֜ד פֶּן־ תָּמֻ֔תוּ כִּי־ יְהוָ֖ה מִשְׁחַ֥ת שֶׁ֛מֶן עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֖וּ מֹשֶֽׁה׃פ כִּדְבַ֥ר lō ṯê·ṣə·’ū ū·mip·pe·ṯaḥ ’ō·hel mō·w·‘êḏ pen- tā·mu·ṯū kî- Yah·weh miš·ḥaṯ še·men ‘ă·lê·ḵem way·ya·‘ă·śū mō·šeh kiḏ·ḇar — WLC · 7

Restrictions for Priests

Then [[YHWH|the LORD]] said to Aaron…,

“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.

You must distinguish between the holy… and the common, between the clean and the unclean…,

so that you may teach the Israelites… all the statutes that [[YHWH|the LORD]] has given them through Moses.”

12
And Moses said to Aaron… and his remaining sons, Eleazar… and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the food offerings to [[YHWH|the LORD]] and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it [is] most holy.

13
You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share… and your sons’ share of the food offerings to [[YHWH|the LORD]]; for this is what I have been commanded.

14
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.

15
They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the food offerings, to wave as a wave offering before [[YHWH|the LORD]]. It will belong permanently to you and your children,… as [[YHWH|the LORD]] has commanded.”

16
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,
וְאֵ֣ת׀ מֹשֶׁ֖ה דָּרֹ֥שׁ דָּרַ֛שׁ שְׂעִ֣יר הַֽחַטָּ֗את וְהִנֵּ֣ה שֹׂרָ֑ף וַ֠יִּקְצֹף עַל־ אֶלְעָזָ֤ר וְעַל־ אִֽיתָמָר֙ אַהֲרֹ֔ן הַנּוֹתָרִ֖ם בְּנֵ֣י לֵאמֹֽר׃ wə·’êṯ mō·šeh dā·rōš dā·raš śə·‘îr ha·ḥaṭ·ṭāṯ wə·hin·nêh śō·rāp̄ way·yiq·ṣōp̄ ‘al- ’el·‘ā·zār wə·‘al- ’î·ṯā·mār ’a·hă·rōn han·nō·w·ṯā·rim bə·nê lê·mōr — WLC · 16

17
“Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before [[YHWH|the LORD]].

18
Since its blood… was not brought inside the holy [place], you should have eaten… it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”

19
But Aaron replied to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before [[YHWH|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 [[YHWH|the LORD]]?”

And when Moses heard this [explanation], he was satisfied…
