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 do not die and He does not ^(B)become wrathful against all the congregation. But your ^[b]kinsmen, the entire house of Israel, shall weep for the burning which the Lord has ^[c]brought about.

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

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