Leviticus 10:5-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. So they came forward and carried them still in their tunics to the outside of the camp, as Moses had said.

6. Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you will not die and that He will not become wrathful against all the congregation.
