⁶ Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “^(A)Do not ^[a]uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you will not die and that He will not ^(B)become wrathful against all the congregation. But your ^[b]kinsmen, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which the Lord has ^[c]brought about.

⁴⁶ Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer and put in it fire from the altar, and lay incense on it; then bring it quickly to the congregation and ^(A)make atonement for them, for ^(B)wrath has gone forth from the Lord, the plague has begun!”

⁵ So you shall attend to the ^(A)obligations of the sanctuary and the obligations of the altar, ^(B)so that there will no longer be wrath on the sons of Israel.
