1 Now Aaron’s (light bringer) sons Nadab (generous) and Abihu (he is my father) took their censers, put fire in them and added incense, and offered unauthorized (strange) fire before the LORD {YHWH}, contrary to His command. 2 So fire came out from the presence of the LORD {YHWH} and consumed them, and they died in the presence of the LORD. 3 Then Moses (drawn out) said to Aaron (light bringer), “This is what the LORD {YHWH} meant when He said: ‘To those who come near Me I will show My holiness, and in the sight of all the people I will reveal My glory.’” But Aaron remained silent. 4 Moses (drawn out) summoned Mishael (who is what God is) and Elzaphan (Elizaphan), sons of Aaron’s (light bringer) uncle Uzziel (my strength is God), and said to them, “Come here; carry the bodies of your⁺ cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.” 5 So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses (drawn out) had directed.
