Leviticus 10:1-5 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. And Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu each took his censer, and they put fire in them and placed incense on it; then they presented before Yahweh illegitimate fire, which he had not commanded them.

2. So fire went out from before Yahweh, and it consumed them so that they died before Yahweh.

3. Therefore Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke, saying, ‘Among those who are close to me I will show myself holy, and in the presence of all the people I will display my glory.’ ” So Aaron was silent.

4. Then Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan the sons of Uzziel, Aaron’s uncle, and he said to them, “Come forward. Carry your brothers from the front of the sanctuary to outside the camp.”

5. So they came forward, and they carried them outside the camp in their tunics, just as Moses had ordered.
