And Aaron held his peace. ^3 4 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. ^4 5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said. ^5 6 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your 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 has kindled. ^6 7 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. ^7 8 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Aaron, saying, ^8 9 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: ^9 10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; ^10 11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken unto them by the hand of Moses. ^11 12 ¶ And Moses spoke unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remains of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it _is_ most holy: ^12 13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it _is_ thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded. ^13 14 And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for _they_ _be_ thy due, and thy sons' due, _which_ are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel. ^14 15 The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave _it_ _for_ a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD has commanded. ^15 16 ¶ And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron _which_ _were_ left _alive_, saying, ^16 17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it _is_ most holy, and _God_ has given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD? ^17 18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy _place:_ ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy _place_, as I commanded. ^18 19 And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and _if_ I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD? ^19 20 And when Moses heard _that_, he was content. ^20
