Leviticus 10:1-7

1Now Aaron’sH175 sonsH1121 NadabH5070 and AbihuH30 tookH3947 their censersH4289, putH5414 fireH784 in them and addedH7760 incenseH7004, and offeredH7126 unauthorizedH21141 fireH784 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, contrary toH3808 His commandH6680. 2So fireH784 came outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068 and consumedH398 themH853, and they diedH4191 in the presence ofH6440 the LORDH3068.

3Then MosesH4872 saidH559 toH413 AaronH175, “ThisH1931 is whatH834 the LORDH3068 meantH1696 when He saidH559:

‘To those who come near MeH7138I will show My holinessH6942,and inH5921 the sight ofH6440 allH3605 the peopleH5971I will reveal My gloryH3513.’”

But AaronH175 remained silentH1826.

4MosesH4872 summonedH7121 MishaelH4332 and ElzaphanH469,2 sonsH1121 of Aaron’sH175 uncleH1730 UzzielH5816, and saidH559 to themH413, “Come hereH7126; carryH5375 the bodies of your cousinsH251 outsideH2351 the campH4264, away from the frontH6440 of the sanctuaryH6944H413.” 5So they came forwardH7126 and carried themH5375, still in their tunicsH3801H413, outsideH2351 the campH4264, asH834 MosesH4872 had directedH1696.

6Then MosesH4872 saidH559 toH413 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 EleazarH499 and IthamarH385, “Do notH408 let your hairH7218 become disheveledH65443 and do notH3808 tearH6533 your garmentsH899, or elseH3808 you will dieH4191, and the LORD will be angryH7107 withH5921 the wholeH3605 congregationH5712. But your brothersH251, the wholeH3605 houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, may mournH1058 on account of the fireH8316 thatH834 the LORDH3068 has ignitedH8313. 7You shall notH3808 go outsideH3318 the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, orH6435 you will dieH4191, forH3588 the LORD’sH3068 anointingH4888 oilH8081 is on youH5921.”

So they didH6213 as MosesH4872 instructedH1697.
