Leviticus 10 · Grade 3
Fire God Did Not Command
Read the Story
Nadab and Abihu were sons of Aaron. They took their censers, put fire in them, and laid incense on it. They offered strange fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them. Fire came out from before the Lord and they died.
Moses told Aaron that God had said He would show Himself holy to those who come near Him. Aaron held his peace. He did not say anything. Their cousins carried the two men out of the camp.
God then spoke to Aaron. Priests must not drink wine when they go into the Tent of Meeting. They must make a distinction between the holy and the common, and teach the people God's statutes. God is holy, and He wanted His priests to honor Him carefully.
