Leviticus 10:1-3
New Century Version
God Destroys Nadab and Abihu
10 Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their pans for burning incense, put fire in them, and added incense; but they did not use the special fire Moses had commanded them to use in the presence of the Lord. 2 So fire came down from the Lord and destroyed Nadab and Abihu, and they died in front of the Lord. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord was speaking about when he said,
‘I must be respected as holy
by those who come near me;
before all the people
I must be given honor.’”
So Aaron did not say anything about the death of his sons.
