Leviticus 10:5-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. So they came forward and carried them still in their tunics to the outside of the camp, as Moses had said.

6. Then Moses said to Aaron and to his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, "Do not uncover your heads nor tear your clothes, so that you will not die and that He will not become wrathful against all the congregation. But your kinsmen, the whole house of Israel, shall bewail the burning which the Lord has brought about.

7. You shall not even go out from the doorway of the tent of meeting, or you will die; for the Lord's anointing oil is upon you." So they did according to the word of Moses.

8. The Lord then spoke to Aaron, saying,

9. "Do not drink wine or strong drink, neither you nor your sons with you, when you come into the tent of meeting, so that you will not die-it is a perpetual statute throughout your generations-

10. and so as to make a distinction between the holy and the profane, and between the unclean and the clean,

11. and so as to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which the Lord has spoken to them through Moses."

12. Then Moses spoke to Aaron, and to his surviving sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, "Take the grain offering that is left over from the Lord's offerings by fire and eat it unleavened beside the altar, for it is most holy.
