And Nadab and Abihu, the ^asons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered ^bstrange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.

 2 And there went out ^afire from the Lord, and ^bdevoured them, and they ^cdied 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 ^aheld his peace.

 4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of ^aUzziel 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 ^aheads, neither ^brend 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 ^aanointing 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 ^awine nor ^bstrong ^cdrink, 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 ^athat ye may put difference between ^bholy and unholy, and between ^cunclean and ^dclean;

 11 And that ye may ^ateach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
