Leviticus 10
WEB·Leviticus 10
1Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which he had not commanded them.
KJVAnd NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, tookH3947(H8799) eitherH376 of them his censerH4289, and putH5414(H8799) fireH784 thereinH2004, and putH7760(H8799) incenseH7004 thereon, and offeredH7126(H8686) strangeH2114(H8801) fireH784 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, which he commandedH6680(H8765) them not.
2 Fire came out from before Yahweh, and devoured them, and they died before Yahweh.
KJVAnd there went outH3318(H8799) fireH784 from the LORDH3068, and devouredH398(H8799) them, and they diedH4191(H8799) beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
3 Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what Yahweh spoke of, saying, ‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” Aaron held his peace.
KJVThen MosesH4872 saidH559(H8799) unto AaronH175, This is it that the LORDH3068 spakeH1696(H8765), sayingH559(H8800), I will be sanctifiedH6942(H8735) in them that come nighH7138 me, and beforeH6440 all the peopleH5971 I will be glorifiedH3513(H8735). And AaronH175 held his peaceH1826(H8799).
4 Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”
KJVAnd MosesH4872 calledH7121(H8799) MishaelH4332 and ElzaphanH469, the sonsH1121 of UzzielH5816 the uncleH1730 of AaronH175, and saidH559(H8799) unto them, Come nearH7126(H8798), carryH5375(H8798) your brethrenH251 from beforeH6440 the sanctuaryH6944 outH2351 of the campH4264.
5 So they came near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.
KJVSo they went nearH7126(H8799), and carriedH5375(H8799) them in their coatsH3801 outH2351 of the campH4264; as MosesH4872 had saidH1696(H8765).
6 Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Yahweh has kindled.
KJVAnd MosesH4872 saidH559(H8799) unto AaronH175, and unto EleazarH499 and unto IthamarH385, his sonsH1121, UncoverH6544(H8799) not your headsH7218, neither rendH6533(H8799) your clothesH899; lest ye dieH4191(H8799), and lest wrathH7107(H8799) come upon all the peopleH5712: but let your brethrenH251, the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, bewailH1058(H8799) the burningH8316 which the LORDH3068 hath kindledH8313(H8804).
7 You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of Yahweh is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.
KJVAnd ye shall not go outH3318(H8799) from the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, lest ye dieH4191(H8799): for the anointingH4888 oilH8081 of the LORDH3068 is upon you. And they didH6213(H8799) according to the wordH1697 of MosesH4872.
8 Then Yahweh said to Aaron,
KJVAnd the LORDH3068 spakeH1696(H8762) unto AaronH175, sayingH559(H8800),
9 “You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
KJVDo not drinkH8354(H8799) wineH3196 nor strong drinkH7941, thou, nor thy sonsH1121 with thee, when ye goH935(H8800) into the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, lest ye dieH4191(H8799): it shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 throughout your generationsH1755:
10 You are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.
KJVAnd that ye may put differenceH914(H8687) between holyH6944 and unholyH2455, and between uncleanH2931 and cleanH2889;
11 You are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which Yahweh has spoken to them by Moses.”
KJVAnd that ye may teachH3384(H8687) the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 all the statutesH2706 which the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696(H8765) unto them by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
12 Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, “Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; for it is most holy;
KJVAnd MosesH4872 spakeH1696(H8762) unto AaronH175, and unto EleazarH499 and unto IthamarH385, his sonsH1121 that were leftH3498(H8737), TakeH3947(H8798) the meat offeringH4503 that remainethH3498(H8737) of the offeringsH801 of the LORDH3068 made by fireH801, and eatH398(H8798) it without leavenH4682 besideH681 the altarH4196: for it is mostH6944 holyH6944:
13 and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons’ portion, of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire; for so I am commanded.
KJVAnd ye shall eatH398(H8804) it in the holyH6918 placeH4725, because it is thy dueH2706, and thy sonsH1121' dueH2706, of the sacrificesH801 of the LORDH3068 made by fireH801: for so I am commandedH6680(H8795).
14 The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.
KJVAnd the waveH8573 breastH2373 and heaveH8641 shoulderH7785 shall ye eatH398(H8799) in a cleanH2889 placeH4725; thou, and thy sonsH1121, and thy daughtersH1323 with thee: for they be thy dueH2706, and thy sonsH1121' dueH2706, which are givenH5414(H8738) out of the sacrificesH2077 of peace offeringsH8002 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
15 They shall bring the heaved thigh and the waved breast with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh. It shall be yours, and your sons’ with you, as a portion forever, as Yahweh has commanded.”
KJVThe heaveH8641 shoulderH7785 and the waveH8573 breastH2373 shall they bringH935(H8686) with the offerings made by fireH801 of the fatH2459, to waveH5130(H8687) it for a wave offeringH8573 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; and it shall be thine, and thy sonsH1121' with thee, by a statuteH2706 for everH5769; as the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680(H8765).
16 Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burned. He was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,
KJVAnd MosesH4872 diligentlyH1875(H8800) soughtH1875(H8804) the goatH8163 of the sin offeringH2403, and, behold, it was burntH8313(H8795): and he was angryH7107(H8799) with EleazarH499 and IthamarH385, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 which were leftH3498(H8737) alive, sayingH559(H8800),
17 “Why haven’t you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is most holy, and he has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Yahweh?
KJVWherefore have ye not eatenH398(H8804) the sin offeringH2403 in the holyH6944 placeH4725, seeing it is mostH6944 holyH6944, and God hath givenH5414(H8804) it you to bearH5375(H8800) the iniquityH5771 of the congregationH5712, to make atonementH3722(H8763) for them beforeH6440 the LORDH3068?
18 Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary. You certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”
KJVBeholdH2005, the bloodH1818 of it was not broughtH935(H8717) in withinH6441 the holyH6944 place: ye should indeedH398(H8800) have eatenH398(H8799) it in the holyH6944 place, as I commandedH6680(H8765).
19 Aaron spoke to Moses, “Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before Yahweh; and such things as these have happened to me. If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in Yahweh’s sight?”
KJVAnd AaronH175 saidH1696(H8762) unto MosesH4872, Behold, this dayH3117 have they offeredH7126(H8689) their sin offeringH2403 and their burnt offeringH5930 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; and such things have befallenH7122(H8799) me: and if I had eatenH398(H8804) the sin offeringH2403 to dayH3117, should it have been acceptedH3190(H8799) in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068?
20 When Moses heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.
KJVAnd when MosesH4872 heardH8085(H8799) that, he was contentH3190(H8799)H5869.
