2. And there went out fire from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
3. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is what the Lord spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in those that come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron was silent.
4. And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel 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. Then Moses said unto Aaron and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Do not uncover your heads, neither rend your clothes lest ye die and lest wrath come upon the whole congregation; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, shall lament the burning which the Lord has done.
7. And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, lest ye die; for the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
8. And the Lord spoke unto Aaron, saying,
9. Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee when ye go into the tabernacle of the testimony, lest ye die; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations;
10. and this is that ye may discern between the holy and the profane and between the unclean and the clean
11. and that ye may teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which the Lord has spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
