And Moses{H4872} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Aaron{H175}, and unto Eleazar{H499} and unto Ithamar{H385}, his sons{H1121}, Uncover{H6544}{(H8799)} not your heads{H7218}, neither rend{H6533}{(H8799)} your clothes{H899}; lest ye die{H4191}{(H8799)}, and lest wrath{H7107}{(H8799)} come upon all the people{H5712}: but let your brethren{H251}, the whole house{H1004} of Israel{H3478}, bewail{H1058}{(H8799)} the burning{H8316} which the LORD{H3068} hath kindled{H8313}{(H8804)}.

Verse 8

And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Aaron{H175}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Do not drink{H8354}{(H8799)} wine{H3196} nor strong drink{H7941}, thou, nor thy sons{H1121} with thee, when ye go{H935}{(H8800)} into the tabernacle{H168} of the congregation{H4150}, lest ye die{H4191}{(H8799)}: it shall be a statute{H2708} for ever{H5769} throughout your generations{H1755}:

Verse 10

And that ye may put difference{H914}{(H8687)} between holy{H6944} and unholy{H2455}, and between unclean{H2931} and clean{H2889};

And that ye may teach{H3384}{(H8687)} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} all the statutes{H2706} which the LORD{H3068} hath spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} unto them by the hand{H3027} of Moses{H4872}.

Verse 12

And Moses{H4872} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Aaron{H175}, and unto Eleazar{H499} and unto Ithamar{H385}, his sons{H1121} that were left{H3498}{(H8737)}, Take{H3947}{(H8798)} the meat offering{H4503} that remaineth{H3498}{(H8737)} of the offerings{H801} of the LORD{H3068} made by fire{H801}, and eat{H398}{(H8798)} it without leaven{H4682} beside{H681} the altar{H4196}: for it is most{H6944} holy{H6944}:

Verse 13

And ye shall eat{H398}{(H8804)} it in the holy{H6918} place{H4725}, because it is thy due{H2706}, and thy sons{H1121}' due{H2706}, of the sacrifices{H801} of the LORD{H3068} made by fire{H801}: for so I am commanded{H6680}{(H8795)}.

Verse 14

And the wave{H8573} breast{H2373} and heave{H8641} shoulder{H7785} shall ye eat{H398}{(H8799)} in a clean{H2889} place{H4725}; thou, and thy sons{H1121}, and thy daughters{H1323} with thee: for they be thy due{H2706}, and thy sons{H1121}' due{H2706}, which are given{H5414}{(H8738)} out of the sacrifices{H2077} of peace offerings{H8002} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}.

Verse 15

The heave{H8641} shoulder{H7785} and the wave{H8573} breast{H2373} shall they bring{H935}{(H8686)} with the offerings made by fire{H801} of the fat{H2459}, to wave{H5130}{(H8687)} it for a wave offering{H8573} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}; and it shall be thine, and thy sons{H1121}' with thee, by a statute{H2706} for ever{H5769}; as the LORD{H3068} hath commanded{H6680}{(H8765)}.

Verse 16

And Moses{H4872} diligently{H1875}{(H8800)} sought{H1875}{(H8804)} the goat{H8163} of the sin offering{H2403}, and, behold, it was burnt{H8313}{(H8795)}: and he was angry{H7107}{(H8799)} with Eleazar{H499} and Ithamar{H385}, the sons{H1121} of Aaron{H175} which were left{H3498}{(H8737)} alive, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

Verse 17

Wherefore have ye not eaten{H398}{(H8804)} the sin offering{H2403} in the holy{H6944} place{H4725}, seeing it is most{H6944} holy{H6944}, and God hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} it you to bear{H5375}{(H8800)} the iniquity{H5771} of the congregation{H5712}, to make atonement{H3722}{(H8763)} for them before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}?

Verse 18

Behold{H2005}, the blood{H1818} of it was not brought{H935}{(H8717)} in within{H6441} the holy{H6944} place: ye should indeed{H398}{(H8800)} have eaten{H398}{(H8799)} it in the holy{H6944} place, as I commanded{H6680}{(H8765)}.

Verse 19

And Aaron{H175} said{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872}, Behold, this day{H3117} have they offered{H7126}{(H8689)} their sin offering{H2403} and their burnt offering{H5930} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}; and such things have befallen{H7122}{(H8799)} me: and if I had eaten{H398}{(H8804)} the sin offering{H2403} to day{H3117}, should it have been accepted{H3190}{(H8799)} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068}?

Verse 20

And when Moses{H4872} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} that, he was content{H3190}{(H8799)}{H5869}.
