And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and
came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering,
and peace offerings. And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of
the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory
of the LORD appeared unto all the people. And there came a fire out
from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering
and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on
their faces.
And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer,
and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire
before the LORD, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire
from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. Then
Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will
be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I
will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
CHAPTER 45
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
AND the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron,
when they offered before the LORD, and died; and the LORD said unto
Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times
into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is
upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the
mercy seat. Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young

the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a
sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. And Aaron shall offer
his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an
atonement for himself, and for his house. And he shall take the two
goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle
of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one
lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat. And Aaron shall
bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell, and offer him for a sin
offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat,
shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with
him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. And Aaron
shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and
shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill
the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself: and he shall
