Leviticus 10:1-7

1Now 1Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective 2firepans, and after putting fire in them, placed incense on 3the fire and offered 4strange fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them. 25And fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. 3Then Moses said to Aaron, “It is what the Lord spoke, saying, ‘By those who 6come near Me I 78will be treated as holy, And before all the people I will 9be honored.’” So Aaron, therefore, kept silent.

4Moses called also to 10Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come forward, carry your relatives away from the front of the sanctuary to an area outside of the camp.” 5So they came forward and carried them, still in their 11tunics, to an area outside the camp, just as Moses had said. 6Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “12Do not 13uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you do not die and He does not 14become wrathful against all the congregation. But your 15kinsmen, the entire house of Israel, shall weep for the burning which the Lord has 16brought about. 7You shall not even go out from the doorway of the tent of meeting, or you will die; for 17the Lord’s anointing oil is upon you.” So they did according to the word of Moses.
