1. Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took an incense burner and put burning coals and incense in it. Then in the Lord’s presence they offered this unauthorized fire.
2. A fire flashed from the Lord and burned them, and they died in the presence of the Lord.
3. Moses said to Aaron, “This is exactly what the Lord said:‘I will show my holiness among those who come to me.I will show my glory to all the people.’”Aaron was speechless.
4. Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Aaron’s uncle, Uzziel. He told them, “Come and take your relatives away from in front of the holy place. Take them outside the camp.”
5. So they came and took them away to a place outside the camp, as Moses told them. The dead men were still in their linen robes.
