Leviticus 10:1-3
EasyEnglish Bible
The Lord kills Nadab and Abihu
10 Nadab and Abihu were sons of Aaron.[a] They put hot material in the pots that they used to burn incense. They threw incense over the hot material. They offered the incense to the Lord. This was a wrong thing to do. The Lord had not told them that they should do it. So it was wrong. 2 The Lord was angry and he sent fire to burn them. They died there in front of the Lord's altar. 3 Then Moses said to Aaron, ‘This is what the Lord said,
“People may come near to me. But those people must see that I am holy.
All the people must give honour to me.” ’
Aaron did not reply.
