10 [1] Nodov and Avihu, Aharons sons, took, each of them his fire-pan, placed fire on it and then placed incense upon it and they brought before Adonoy a strange fire, which He had not commanded them. [2] A fire came forth from before Adonoy and consumed them, and they died in the presence of Adonoy. [3] Moshe said to Aharon It is as Adonoy spoke, saying: through those that are near me I shall be sanctified, and in the presence of the entire people I will be glorified, and Aharon was silent. [4] Moshe called to Mishael and to Elzafan the sons of Uziel, [**the brother of the father of**] Aharon’s uncle, and said to them; Come closer and carry your brothers from the presence of the Sanctuary, to beyond the encampment. [5] They came closer and they carried them in their tunics to beyond the encampment, just as Moshe spoke. [6] Moshe said to Aharon and to Elozor and Isomor, his sons: Do not let your hair grow long and do not tear your garments so that you will not die and bring [Divine] anger on the entire congregation; your brothers, the entire House of Yisroel shall weep over the conflagration that Adonoy set ablaze. [7] From the entrance of the Tent of Meeting you shall not go forth lest you die; for the anointing oil of [**the inauguration to greatness of**] Adonoy is on you and they did as Moshe had said. [8] Adonoy spoke to Aharon, saying, [9] Do not drink wine or any other intoxicant, you and your sons with you, when you enter the Tent of Meeting and you will not die; this is an everlasting statute throughout your generations. [10] [So that you may] distinguish between what is sacred and what is mundane, between what is impure and what is pure. [11] [And that you may] teach Bnei Yisroel all the statutes that Adonoy spoke to them, through Moshe. [12] Moshe spoke to Aharon and to Elozor and Isomor, his surviving sons; Take the meal-offering which remains of the fire-offering [**offerings**] of Adonoy and eat it [as] *matzos* [**matzoh**] [unleavened] beside the altar, for it is holy of holies [=most holy]. [13] You shall eat it in a sacred place, for it is your portion and the portion of your sons of the fire-offerings [**offerings**] of Adonoy, for so have I been commanded. [14] The breast of the wave-offering [**uplifted-offering**] and the thigh that is the separated portion you shall eat in a pure (undefiled) place, you and your sons and daughters with you, for as your portion and as the portion of your sons they are given from the sacrifices of the peace[**sacred**]-offerings of Bnei Yisroel. [15] The thigh that is the separated portion and the breast that is the wave-offering [**uplifted-offering**], on top of the fats of the fire offering [**offering**], they shall bring, to wave [**lift up**] as a wave-offering [**an uplifted-offering**] before Adonoy. It will be for you and for your sons with you an everlasting statute, just as Adonoy commanded. [16] Regarding the goat of the sin-offering; Moshe made a detailed inquiry and behold! It was burned. He was angry with Elozor and Isomor, the remaining sons of Aharon, saying: [17] Why did you not eat the sin-offering in a sacred place, for it is holy of holies [=most holy], and He gave it to you, to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to atone for them before Adonoy. [18] Behold its blood was not brought inside the Sanctuary, you should certainly have eaten it in a holy place as I have commanded. [19] Aharon spoke [in reply] to Moshe, Behold, today they brought their sin-offerings and their burnt-offerings before Adonoy and then such [tragedy] befell me. If I had eaten the sin-offering today, would that have been good in the eyes of [**fitting before**] Adonoy? [20] Moshe heard, and it was good [**pleasing**] in his eyes.
