拿答和亚比户犯罪

1亚伦的儿子拿答、亚比户各拿自己的香炉，盛上火，加上香，在耶和华面前献上凡火，是耶和华没有吩咐他们的，

2就有火从耶和华面前出来，把他们烧灭，他们就死在耶和华面前。

3于是摩西对亚伦说：「这就是耶和华所说：『我在亲近我的人中要显为圣；在众民面前，我要得荣耀。』」亚伦就默默不言。

4摩西召了亚伦叔父乌薛的儿子米沙利、以利撒反来，对他们说：「上前来，把你们的亲属从圣所前抬到营外。」

5于是二人上前来，把他们穿着袍子抬到营外，是照摩西所吩咐的。

6摩西对亚伦和他儿子以利亚撒、以他玛说：「不可蓬头散发，也不可撕裂衣裳，免得你们死亡，又免得耶和华向会众发怒；只要你们的弟兄以色列全家为耶和华所发的火哀哭。

7你们也不可出会幕的门，恐怕你们死亡，因为耶和华的膏油在你们的身上。」他们就照摩西的话行了。

有关祭司的条例

8耶和华晓谕亚伦说：

9「你和你儿子进会幕的时候，清酒、浓酒都不可喝，免得你们死亡；这要作你们世世代代永远的定例。

10使你们可以将圣的、俗的，洁净的、不洁净的，分别出来；

11又使你们可以将耶和华借摩西晓谕以色列人的一切律例教训他们。」

12摩西对亚伦和他剩下的儿子以利亚撒、以他玛说：「你们献给耶和华火祭中所剩的素祭，要在坛旁不带酵而吃，因为是至圣的。

13你们要在圣处吃；因为在献给耶和华的火祭中，这是你的分和你儿子的分；所吩咐我的本是这样。

14所摇的胸，所举的腿，你们要在洁净地方吃。你和你的儿女都要同吃；因为这些是从以色列人平安祭中给你，当你的分和你儿子的分。

15所举的腿，所摇的胸，他们要与火祭的脂油一同带来当摇祭，在耶和华面前摇一摇；这要归你和你儿子，当作永得的分，都是照耶和华所吩咐的。」

16当下摩西急切地寻找作赎罪祭的公山羊，谁知已经焚烧了，便向亚伦剩下的儿子以利亚撒、以他玛发怒，说：

17「这赎罪祭既是至圣的，主又给了你们，为要你们担当会众的罪孽，在耶和华面前为他们赎罪，你们为何没有在圣所吃呢？

18看哪，这祭牲的血并没有拿到圣所里去，你们本当照我所吩咐的，在圣所里吃这祭肉。」

19亚伦对摩西说：「今天他们在耶和华面前献上赎罪祭和燔祭，我又遇见这样的灾，若今天吃了赎罪祭，耶和华岂能看为美呢？」

20摩西听见这话，便以为美。

The Sin of Nadab and Abihu

1Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense, and offered unauthorizedfire before the LORD, contrary to His command.

2So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died in the presence of the LORD.

3Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD meant when He said: ‘To those who come near MeI will show My holiness,and in the sight of all the peopleI will reveal My glory.’” But Aaron remained silent.

4Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan,sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here; carry the bodies of your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”

5So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses had directed.

6Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not let your hair become disheveledand do not tear your garments, or else you will die, and the LORD will be angry with the whole congregation. But your brothers, the whole house of Israel, may mourn on account of the fire that the LORD has ignited.

7You shall not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, for the LORD’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did as Moses instructed.

Restrictions for Priests

8Then the LORD said to Aaron,

9“You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink when you enter the Tent of Meeting, or else you will die; this is a permanent statute for the generations to come.

10You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the clean and the unclean,

11so that you may teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses.”

12And Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the food offerings to the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy.

13You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the food offerings to the LORD; for this is what I have been commanded.

14And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.

15They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the food offerings, to wave as a wave offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the LORD has commanded.”

16Later, Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,

17“Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD.

18Since its blood was not brought inside the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”

19But Aaron replied to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?”

20And when Moses heard this explanation, he was satisfied.
