upon the altar: the burntoffering and the fat. And all the people saw
it and shouted, and fell on their faces.
Chapter .x.
And Nadab and Abihu the sons of Aaron took either of them his censor,
and put fire therein, and put cense upon, and brought strange fire
before the LORD: which he commanded them not, and there went a fire out
from the LORD, and consumed 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 nye me, and before all the people I will
be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. And Moses called Misael and
Elisaphan the sons of Uriel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them: go
to and carry your brethren from the holy place out of the host. And
they went to them and carried them in their albs out of the host, as
Moses bade. And Moses said unto Aaron and unto Eleazar and Ithamar his
eldest sons: uncover not your head neither rent your clothes, lest ye
die and wrath come upon all the people, let your brethren the hole
house of Israel, beweep the burning which the LORD hath burnt. But go
ye not out from the door of the tabernacle of witness, lest ye die: for
the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did as Moses bade.
And the LORD spake unto Aaron saying: drink no wine nor strong drink,
neither thou nor thy sons with thee: when ye go into the tabernacle of

holy: eat it therefore in the holy place, because it is thy duty and
thy sons' duty of the sacrifice of the LORD: for so I am commanded. And
the wavebreast and heaveshoulder eat in a clean place: both thou and
thy sons and thy daughters with thee. For it is thy duty, and thy sons'
duty with thee, of the peaceofferings of the children of Israel. For
the heaveshoulder and the wavebreast which they bring with the
sacrifices of the fat, to wave it before the LORD, shall be thine and
thy sons' with thee, and be a law for ever, as the LORD hath commanded.
And Moses sought for the goat that was the sinoffering, and see, it was
burnt. And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar the sons of Aaron,
which were left alive saying: wherefore have ye not eaten the
sinoffering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy: and forasmuch as
it is given you to bear the sin of the people, and make agreement for
them before the LORD? Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within
the holy place, therefore should ye have eaten it in the holy place as
I commanded. And Aaron said unto Moses: behold, this day have they
