 Nadab and Abihu burnt by fire.

Leviticus x. 1.

Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either them his censer, and put fire therein, and put rense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them. they died before the Lord. Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is it that the Lord spake, saying. will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified.” And Aaron held his peace. And Moses called Mishael Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, “Carry your brethen from be- the sanctuary out of the camp.” So they carried them, as Moses had said: And Moses said to Aaron, and unto his sons, “Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes, lest ye die.”
