New Living Translation

Leviticus 10:5-10 New Living Translation (NLT)

5. So they came forward and picked them up by their garments and carried them out of the camp, just as Moses had commanded.

6. Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not show grief by leaving your hair uncombed or by tearing your clothes. If you do, you will die, and the lord’s anger will strike the whole community of Israel. However, the rest of the Israelites, your relatives, may mourn because of the lord’s fiery destruction of Nadab and Abihu.

7. But you must not leave the entrance of the Tabernacle or you will die, for you have been anointed with the lord’s anointing oil.” So they did as Moses commanded.

8. Then the lord said to Aaron,

9. “You and your descendants must never drink wine or any other alcoholic drink before going into the Tabernacle. If you do, you will die. This is a permanent law for you, and it must be observed from generation to generation.

10. You must distinguish between what is sacred and what is common, between what is ceremonially unclean and what is clean.
