Saying Nothing

And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I 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 and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said. And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not our heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled. And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses. And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying, Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations: And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.-Leviticus 10:1-11***At least 2 verses in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible, Exodus 19:22 and Exodus 19:24, reveal that there was a system of priests among the Israelites before Moses went upon Mount Sinai to be with the Lord God for 40 days and nights. While Moses was on Mount Sinai, the Lord God gave Moses commands and showed Moses the likeness for the tabernacle and sacred items that were to be made. The Lord God gave Moses commands for the new priesthood, and told Moses that only Moses' brother Aaron, and Aaron's sons, and the sons born to their descendants were to serve the Lord God as priests. The Lord God gave Moses commands for receiving offerings, and commands that were to be obeyed when the Israelites brought offerings to the tabernacle, and commands regarding the portion of the offerings that were only for Aaron and the priests. The Lord God gave Moses commands for preparing and anointing Aaron and his sons, and for the offerings to be made and instructions to be followed for the consecration of the priests. The Lord God told Moses that Aaron and his sons were to eat a specific meal at the entrance to the tabernacle and remain at the tabernacle for 7 days. Aaron and his sons obeyed each command, and Aaron continued obeying the commands of the Lord God while sacrificing offerings on the altar. However, Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu made an offering of their own to the Lord God and were immediately struck and killed. Many months earlier, Moses and Aaron led their fellow Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness, according to the commands of the Lord God. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, 123-year-old Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor. Aaron's son Eleazar succeeded Aaron as high priest. Shortly thereafter, 120-year-old Moses went upon Mount Nebo, and the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Over 1,300 years after Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 1:1-10:20, Numbers 3:1-4:49, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
