Improper Conduct for Priests
10 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.’ ”
