Nadab and Abihu
In the biblical books Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, Nadab () and Abihu () were the two eldest sons of Aaron.〔, Leviticus 10. Dummelow, J.R. ed., The One Volume Bible Commentary. The Macmillan Company, 1950. Page 91〕 According to Leviticus 10, they offered a sacrifice with 'strange fire' before the , disobeying his instructions, and were immediately consumed by God’s fire.
Moses instructed Aaron and his family not to mourn, although the people at large were permitted.〔Leviticus 10:6-7〕
==Background==
Nadab and Abihu were the first two sons of Aaron the Levite by his marriage to Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab from the tribe of Judah. They had four sons in total, the younger two sons being named Eleazar and Ithamar.〔Exod. 6:23〕 During the Exodus journey, after the Israelites' affirmation of their covenant with God,〔Exodus 24:3-8〕 Abihu and Nadab accompanied Moses, Aaron, and 70 elders up Mount Sinai. There they 'saw' God with great clarity, walking on a pavement of sapphire stone, and shared a meal in God's presence, without being harmed as a result.〔Recalling Exodus 19:21 - And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to gaze at the Lord, and many of them perish".〕〔Exodus 24:9-11〕
Aaron and his four sons were the first priests appointed as the priestly system was established by God.〔Exodus 28:1, 29:9; Commentary on Leviticus 10:1-14, The Jewish Study Bible:Tanakh Translation. The Jewish Publication Society, 2004. Page 227〕 The Levites as a tribe were later ordained for the priestly service after answering a call to take the ’s side after the idolatry centered around the golden calf.〔Exodus 32:29, Levites. Unger, Merrill F. Unger’s Bible Handbook: An Essential Guide to Understanding the Bible. Moody Press, Chicago. 1967. Page 87.〕 After the death of Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar took their places as priests, because neither Nadab nor Abihu had any sons.〔Numbers 3:4; 1 Kings 18:38; Leviticus 9:24; Nadab and Abihu. Unger, Merrill F. Unger’s Bible Handbook: An Essential Guide to Understanding the Bible. Moody Press, Chicago. 1967. Page 114.〕
