blessed the People, and came down from making the simoffering, and the bumt—0ffering, and the thank- offering. Moses and Aaron next entered

the Hall of Assembly, and went and blessed the People, ·— when the splendour of the EvER~L1v1NG appeared to all the People, the fire came from the presence of the EVER- LIVING and consumed the burnt- offering on the altar, and the fats. When all the People saw it they cheered, and fell upon their faces. uhehiznzz in ®¤h. 10 But the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, each took a fire-pan, and placed on them fire, and put incense upon it, and presented strange {ire before the Even-Lxvme, which they were not commanded, therefore fire came out from the presence of the Loan and consumed them, and they died before the LORD. Consequently Moses said to Aaron,

‘ What was it that the Evan-Lrvme spoke, saying, ‘ In approaching Me I will be sanctified, and respected And Aaron was silent. Then Moses called to Mishal, and

to Altzaphan, sons of Azial, the uncle of Aaron, and said to them ; ‘Approachl and take up those

from the presence of the sanctuary to the outside of the camp. So they approached, and carried

them in their vestments to the outside of the camp, as Moses had ordered. Then Moses said to Aaron and to

Aliazar, and to Aithamar, his sons, ‘ You shall not uncover your heads, and you shall not strip off your robes, lest you should die, and anger come upon all the congregation; but your relatives of all the house of Israel, shall weep for the burning that the Evan-1.1v11~:c° has burnt.

not drink of wine or an intoxicant when you are going to the Hall of Assembly;-—so that you may not die. This is an everlasting institution for your posterity. ‘ For you shall distinguish between

the Sacred and the Common, and between Sin and Purity, so that you may teach the sons of Israel all the Institutions which the EVER-LXVING dictated to them by means of Moses. Moses also spoke to Aaron, and Aliazar, and Aitharnar, his sons; I`ake again another food-offering for a present to the EVER-L1v1NG, and eat it with biscuits at the side of the altar, for it is Holy of Holies, therefore you shall eat it in the Holy Place, for it is a portion to you, and a portion to your sons from the presents to the EVER-LIVING, for so .1 have been commanded. But you may eat the waved breast, and the raised leg in a clean place, you and your sons, and your daughters with you ; for they are given from My altar as a portion to you and to your children as thank- offerings from the children of Israel. The raised leg and the waved breast, with the presents of the fats which they bring to be waved, you shall wave before the EVER-LIVING, and they shall be for you and your children for a perpetual portion;-as the EVER-LIVING has commanded. But when Moses inquired for the

goat for the sin-offering, he found it had been burnt; therefore he was angry with Aliazar and Aithamar, the sons of Aaron, again, and said; Why have you not eaten the sin-

offering in the Holy Place ?-—for it is Holy of Holies,—~and it was given to you to bear the frailty of the congre- gation, to expiate for them before the Even-Lrvxue. Look! its blood was not brought into the sanctuary. You ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary as I commanded. On
