Numbers 16:35Easy To Read VersionThen a fire came from the Lord and destroyed the 250 men who were offering the incense. [209] See the chapter |
Then I noticed that Jaazaniah son of Shapham and the 70 elders (leaders) of Israel were there with the people worshiping in that place. There they were, right at the front of the people! And each leader had his own incense {\cf2\super [66]} dish in his hand. The smoke from the burning incense was rising into the air.
But Nadab and Abihu died {because they sinned} while serving the Lord. They used fire that the Lord did not allow when they made an offering to the Lord. So Nadab and Abihu died there, in the Sinai desert. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar took their place and served the Lord as priests. This happened while their father Aaron was still alive.
