LEVITICUS 10

THE DEATH OF NADAB + ABIHU 

Two of Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, presented an unauthorized offering that the Lord had not commanded. As a result, they are consumed by fire and die before the Lord.

Moses tells Aaron and his remaining sons not to mourn in the usual way. He also instructs the priests not to drink wine or strong drink before entering the tabernacle.
