Nadab and Abihu Offer Strange Fire
10 Then (A)Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective (B)firepans and put fire in them. Then they placed incense on it and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which He had not commanded them. 2 (C)And fire came out from the presence of Yahweh and consumed them, and they died before Yahweh. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “It is what Yahweh spoke, saying,
‘By those who (D)come near Me I [a](E)will be treated as holy,
And before all the people I will (F)be glorified.’”
So Aaron kept silent.
