The Profane Fire of Nadab and Abihu

10 Then ^(A)Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, ^(B)each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered ^(C)profane fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them.

² So ^(A)fire went out from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

³ These are the names of the sons of Aaron, ^(A)the anointed priests, ^[a]whom he consecrated to minister as priests.

^4 (A)Nadab and Abihu had died before the Lord when they offered profane fire before the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai; and they had no children. So Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests in the presence of Aaron their father.

² And ^(A)Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests.
