1. Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them.
2. Fire came out from before the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
3. Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke of, saying, ‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” Aaron held his peace.
4. Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”
5. So they came near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.
6. Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD has kindled.
7. You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.
8. Then the LORD said to Aaron,
9. “You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
10. You are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.
11. You are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by Moses.”
12. Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, “Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; for it is most holy;
13. and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons’ portion, of the offerings of the LORD made by fire; for so I am commanded.
14. The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.
15. They shall bring the heaved thigh and the waved breast with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD. It shall be yours, and your sons’ with you, as a portion forever, as the LORD has commanded.”
16. Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burned. He was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,
17. “Why haven’t you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is most holy, and he has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
18. Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary. You certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”
19. Aaron spoke to Moses, “Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things as these have happened to me. If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in the LORD’s sight?”
20. When Moses heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.

1. Les fils d’Aaron, Nadab et Abiu, prirent chacun leur encensoir, y mirent du feu et, ayant posé du parfum dessus, ils apportèrent devant Yahwehun feu étranger, ce qu’il ne leur avait pas commandé.
2. Alors un feu sortit de devant Yahwehet les dévora : ils moururent devant Yahweh.
3. Et Moïse dit à Aaron : « C’est ce que Yahweha déclaré, lorsqu’il a dit : Je serai sanctifié en ceux qui m’approchent, et je serai glorifié en présence de tout le peuple. » Aaron se tut.
4. Et Moïse appela Misaël et Elisaphon, fils d’Oziel, oncle d’Aaron, et il leur dit : « Approchez-vous, emportez vos frères loin du sanctuaire, hors du camp. »
5. Ils s’approchèrent et les emportèrent revêtus de leurs tuniques hors du camp, comme Moïse l’avait ordonné.
6. Moïse dit à Aaron, à Eléazar et à Ithamar : « Vous ne laisserez pas flotter en désordre les cheveux de votre tête et vous ne déchirerez pas vos vêtements, de peur que vous ne mouriez, et que Yahwehne s’irrite contre toute l’assemblée. Que vos frères, toute la maison d’Israël, pleurent sur l’embrasement que Yahweha allumé.
7. Pour vous, vous ne sortirez pas de l’entrée de la tente de réunion, de peur que vous ne mouriez ; car l’huile de l’onction de Yahwehest sur vous. » Ils firent ce que Moïse avait dit.
8. Yahwehparla à Aaron, en disant :
9. « Tu ne boiras ni vin, ni boisson enivrante, toi et tes fils avec toi, lorsque vous entrerez dans la tente de réunion, afin que vous ne mouriez pas : c’est une loi perpétuelle parmi vos descendants,
10. et afin que vous sachiez discerner ce qui est saint de ce qui est profane, ce qui est pur de ce qui est impur,
11. et afin que vous puissiez enseigner aux enfants d’Israël toutes les lois que Yahwehleur a données par Moïse.
12. Moïse dit à Aaron, à Eléazar et à Ithamar, les deux fils qui restaient à Aaron : « Prenez l’oblation qui reste des sacrifices faits par le feu à Yahweh, et mangez-la sans levain près de l’autel, car c’est une chose très sainte.
13. Vous la mangerez dans un lieu saint : c’est ton droit et le droit de tes fils sur les offrandes faites par le feu à Yahweh; c’est là ce qui m’a été ordonné.
14. Vous mangerez aussi en lieu pur, toi, tes fils et tes filles avec toi, la poitrine qui aura été balancée et la cuisse qui aura été prélevée ; car ces morceaux vous sont donnés comme ton droit et le droit de tes fils sur les sacrifices pacifiques des enfants d’Israël.
15. Ils apporteront, outre les graisses destinées à être consumées par le feu, la cuisse que l’on prélève et la poitrine que l’on balance, pour qu’elles soient balancées devant Yahweh; elles seront pour toi et pour tes fils avec toi par une loi perpétuelle, comme Yahwehl’a ordonné. »
16. Moïse s’enquit du bouc immolé pour le péché, et voici, il avait été brûlé. Alors, il s’irrita contre Eléazar et Ithamar, les fils qui restaient à Aaron, et il leur dit :
17. « Pourquoi n’avez-vous pas mangé la victime pour le péché dans le lieu saint ? Car c’est une chose très sainte, et Yahwehvous l’a donnée, afin que vous portiez l’iniquité de l’assemblée, afin que vous fassiez pour elle l’expiation devant Yahweh.
18. Voici, le sang de la victime n’a pas été porté dans l’intérieur du sanctuaire ; vous deviez la manger dans un lieu saint, comme je l’ai commandé. »
19. Aaron dit à Moïse : « Voici, ils ont offert aujourd’hui leur sacrifice pour le péché et leur holocauste devant Yahweh; mais, après ce qui m’est arrivé, si j’avais mangé aujourd’hui la victime pour le péché, cela eût-il été agréable aux yeux de Yahweh? »
20. Moïse, ayant entendu ces paroles, il les eut pour agréables.

1. Arreptisque Nadab et Abiu filii Aaron thuribulis, posuerunt ignem, et incensum desuper, offerentes coram Domino ignem alienum: quod eis præceptum non erat.
2. Egressusque ignis a Domino, devoravit eos, et mortui sunt coram Domino.
3. Dixitque Moyses ad Aaron: Hoc est quod locutus est Dominus: Sanctificabor in iis qui appropinquant mihi, et in conspectu omnis populi glorificabor. Quod audiens tacuit Aaron.
4. Vocatis autem Moyses Misaële et Elisaphan filiis Oziel, patrui Aaron, ait ad eos: Ite, et tollite fratres vestros de conspectu sanctuarii, et asportate extra castra.
5. Confestimque pergentes, tulerunt eos sicut jacebant, vestitos lineis tunicis, et ejecerunt foras, ut sibi fuerat imperatum.
6. Locutusque est Moyses ad Aaron, et ad Eleazar, et Ithamar, filios ejus: Capita vestra nolite nudare, et vestimenta nolite scindere, ne forte moriamini, et super omnem cœtum oriatur indignatio. Fratres vestri, et omnis domus Israël, plangant incendium quod Dominus suscitavit:
7. vos autem non egrediemini fores tabernaculi, alioquin peribitis: oleum quippe sanctæ unctionis est super vos. Qui fecerunt omnia juxta præceptum Moysi.
8. Dixit quoque Dominus ad Aaron:
9. Vinum, et omne quod inebriare potest, non bibetis tu et filii tui, quando intratis in tabernaculum testimonii, ne moriamini: quia præceptum sempiternum est in generationes vestras:
10. et ut habeatis scientiam discernendi inter sanctum et profanum, inter pollutum et mundum;
11. doceatisque filios Israël omnia legitima mea quæ locutus est Dominus ad eos per manum Moysi.
12. Locutusque est Moyses ad Aaron, et ad Eleazar, et Ithamar, filios ejus, qui erant residui: Tollite sacrificium, quod remansit de oblatione Domini, et comedite illud absque fermento juxta altare, quia Sanctum sanctorum est.
13. Comedetis autem in loco sancto: quod datum est tibi et filiis tuis de oblationibus Domini, sicut præceptum est mihi.
14. Pectusculum quoque quod oblatum est, et armum qui separatus est, edetis in loco mundissimo tu et filii tui, et filiæ tuæ tecum: tibi enim ac liberis tuis reposita sunt de hostiis salutaribus filiorum Israël:
15. eo quod armum et pectus, et adipes qui cremantur in altari, elevaverunt coram Domino, et pertineant ad te, et ad filios tuos, lege perpetua, sicut præcepit Dominus.
16. Inter hæc, hircum, qui oblatus fuerat pro peccato, cum quæreret Moyses, exustum reperit: iratusque contra Eleazar et Ithamar filios Aaron, qui remanserant, ait:
17. Cur non comedistis hostiam pro peccato in loco sancto, quæ Sancta sanctorum est, et data vobis ut portetis iniquitatem multitudinis, et rogetis pro ea in conspectu Domini,
18. præsertim cum de sanguine illius non sit illatum intra sancta, et comedere debueritis eam in Sanctuario, sicut præceptum est mihi?
19. Respondit Aaron: Oblata est hodie victima pro peccato, et holocaustum coram Domino: mihi autem accidit quod vides; quomodo potui comedere eam, aut placere Domino in cæremoniis mente lugubri?
20. Quod cum audisset Moyses, recepit satisfactionem.
