Greek Septuagint
1 Καὶ λαβόντες οἱ δύο υἱοὶ Ἀαρὼν Ναδὰβ καὶ Ἀβιοὺδ, ἕκαστος τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ, ἐπέθηκαν ἐπʼ αὐτὸ πῦρ, καὶ ἐπέβαλον ἐπʼ αὐτὸ θυμίαμα, καὶ προσήνεγκαν ἔναντι Κυρίου πῦρ ἀλλότριον, ὃ οὐ προσέταξε Κύριος αὐτοῖς.
2 Καὶ ἐξῆλθε πῦρ παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ κατέφαγεν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀπέθανον ἔναντι Κυρίου.
3 Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρὼν, τοῦτό ἐστιν, ὃ εἶπε Κύριος, λέγων, ἐν τοῖς ἐγγίζουσί μοι ἁγιασθήσομαι, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ συναγωγῇ δοξασθήοσμαι· καὶ κατενύχθη Ἀαρών.
4 Καὶ ἐκάλεσε Μωυσῆς τὸν Μισαδάη, καὶ τὸν Ἐλισαφὰν, υἱοὺς Ὀζιὴλ, υἱοὺς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ πατρὸς Ἀαρὼν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, προσέλθατε καὶ ἄρατε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ὑμῶν ἐκ προσώπου τῶν ἁγίων ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς.
5 Καὶ προσῆλθον, καὶ ᾖραν αὐτοὺς ἐν τοῖς χιτῶσιν αὐτῶν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς, ὃν τρόπον εἶπε Μωυσῆς.
6 Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρὼν καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ καὶ Ἰθάμαρ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ τοὺς καταλελειμμένους, τὴν κεφαλὴν ὑμῶν οὐκ ἀποκιδαρώσετε, καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια ὑμῶν οὐ διαῤῥήξετε, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνητε, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν συναγωγὴν ἔσται θυμός· οἱ δὲ ἀδελφοὶ ὑμῶν, πᾶς ὁ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ, κλαύσονται τὸν ἐμπυρισμὸν, ὃν ἐνεπυρίσθησαν ὑπὸ Κυρίου.
7 Καὶ ἀπὸ τὴς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου οὐκ ἐξελεύσεσθε, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνητε· τὸ ἔλαιον γὰρ τῆς χρίσεως, τὸ παρὰ Κυρίου, ἐφʼ ὑμῖν, καὶ ἐποίησαν κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Μωυσῆ.
8 Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος τῷ Ἀαρὼν, λέγων,
9 οἶνον καὶ σίκερα οὐ πίεσθε σὺ καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου μετὰ σοῦ, ἡνίκα ἐὰν εἰσπορεύησθε εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, ἢ προσπορευομένων ὑμῶν πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνητε· νόμιμον αἰώνιον εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν,
10 διαστεῖλαι ἀναμέσον τῶν ἁγίων καὶ τῶν βεβήλων, καὶ ἀναμέσον τῶν ἀκαθάρτων καὶ τῶν καθαρῶν,
11 καὶ συμβιβάξειν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἅπαντα τὰ νόμιμα, ἃ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς αὐτοὺς διὰ χειρὸς Μωυσῆ.
12 Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς Ἀαρὼν καὶ πρὸς Ἐλεάζαρ καὶ Ἰθάμαρ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀαρὼν τοὺς καταλειφθέντας, λάβετε τὴν θυσίαν τὴν καταλειφθεῖσαν ἀπὸ τῶν καρπωμάτων Κυρίου, καὶ φάγεσθε ἄζυμα παρὰ τὸ θυσιαστήριον· ἅγια ἁγίων ἐστί.
13 Καὶ φάγεσθε αὐτὴν ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ· νόμιμον γάρ σοι ἐστὶ, καὶ νόμιμον τοῖς υἱοῖς σου τοῦτο ἀπὸ τῶν καρπωμάτων Κυρίου· οὕτω γὰρ ἐντέταλταί μοι.
14 Καὶ τὸ στηθύνιον τοῦ ἀφορίσματος, καὶ τὸν βραχίονα τοῦ ἀφαιρέματος φάγεσθε ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ, σὺ καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου μετὰ σοῦ· νόμιμον γὰρ σοι, καὶ νόμιμον τοῖς υἱοῖς σου ἐδόθη ἀπὸ τῶν θυσιῶν τοῦ σωτηρίου τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
15 Τὸν βραχίονα τοῦ ἀφαιρέματος, καὶ τὸ στηθύνιον τοῦ ἀφορίσματος ἐπὶ τῶν καρπωμάτων τῶν στεάτωι· προσοίσουσιν ἀφόρισμα ἀφορίσαι ἔναντι Κυρίου· καὶ ἔσται σοι καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς σου καὶ ταῖς θυγατράσι σου μετὰ σοῦ νόμιμον αἰώνιον, ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
16 Καὶ τὸν χίμαρον τὸν περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ζητῶν ἐξεζήτησε Μωυσῆς· καὶ ὁ δὲ ἐνπεπύριστο· καὶ ἐθυμώθη Μωυσῆς ἐπὶ Ἐλεάζαρ καὶ Ἰθάμαρ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἀαρὼν τοὺς καταλελειμμένους, λέγων,
17 διατί οὐκ ἐφάγετε τὸ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ; ὅτι γὰρ ἅγια ἁγίων ἐστι, τοῦτο ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν φαγεῖν, ἵνα ἀφέλητε τὴν ἁμαρτίαν τῆς συναγωγῆς, καὶ ἐξιλάσησθε περὶ αὐτῶν ἔναντι Κυρίου.
18 Οὐ γὰρ εἰσήχθη τοῦ αἵματος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ ἅγιον· κατὰ πρόσωπον ἔσω φάγεσθε αὐτὸ ἐν τόπῳ ἁγίῳ, ὃν τρόπον μοι συνέταξε Κύριος.
19 Καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἀαρὼν πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων, εἰ σήμερον προσαγιόχασι τὰ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα αὐτῶν ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ συμβέβηκέ μοι τοιαῦτα, καὶ φάγομαι τὰ περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας σήμερον, μὴ ἀρεστὸν ἔται Κυρίῳ;
20 Καὶ ἤκουσε Μωυσῆς, καὶ ἤρεσεν αὐτῷ.
Brenton English
1 And the two sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abiud, took each his censer, and put fire therein, and threw incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which the Lord did not command them,
2 and fire came forth from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
3 And Moses said to Aaron, This is the thing which the Lord spoke, saying, I will be sanctified among them that draw nigh to me, and I will be glorified in the whole congregation; and Aaron was pricked in his heart .
4 And Moses called Misadaë, and Elisaphan, sons of Oziel, sons of the brother of Aaron's father, and said to them, Draw near and take your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
5 And they came near and took them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses said.
6 And Moses said to Aaron, and Eleazar and Ithamar his sons that were left, Ye shall not make bare your heads, and ye shall not tear your garments; that ye die not, and so there should be wrath on all the congregation: but your brethren, even all the house of Israel, shall lament for the burning, with which they were burnt by the Lord.
7 And ye shall not go forth from the door of the tabernacle of witness, that ye die not; for the Lord's anointing oil is upon you: and they did according to the word of Moses.
8 And the Lord spoke to Aaron, saying,
9 Ye shall not drink wine nor strong drink, thou and thy sons with thee, whensoever ye enter into the tabernacle of witness, or when ye approach the altar, so shall ye not die; it is a perpetual statute for your generations,
10 to distinguish between sacred and profane, and between clean and unclean,
11 and to teach the children of Israel all the statutes, which the Lord spoke to them by Moses.
12 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who survived, Take the sacrifice that is left of the burnt-offerings of the Lord, and ye shall eat unleavened bread by the altar: it is most holy.
13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place; for this is a statute for thee and a statute for thy sons, of the burnt-offerings to the Lord; for so it has been commanded me.
14 And ye shall eat the breast of separation, and the shoulder of the choice-offering in the holy place, thou and thy sons and thy house with thee; for it has been given as an ordinance for thee and an ordinance for thy sons, of the sacrifices of peace-offering of the children of Israel.
15 They shall bring the shoulder of the choice-offering, and the breast of the separation upon the burnt-offerings of the fat, to separate for a separation before the Lord; and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for thee and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, as the Lord commanded Moses.
16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin-offering, but it had been consumed by fire; and Moses was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar the sons of Aaron that were left, saying,
17 Why did ye not eat the sin-offering in the holy place? for because it is most holy he has given you this to eat, that ye might take away the sin of the congregation, and make atonement for them before the Lord.
18 For the blood of it was not brought into the holy place: ye shall eat it within, before the Lord , as the Lord commanded me.
19 And Aaron spoke to Moses, saying, If they have brought nigh to-day their sin-offerings, and their whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord, and these events have happened to me, and yet I should eat to-day of the sin-offerings, would it be pleasing to the Lord?
20 And Moses heard it , and it pleased him.
