Nadab and Abihu Offer Strange Fire

Lev 10:1-2 LSB - [1] Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their respective firepans and put fire in them. Then they placed incense on it and offered strange fire before Yahweh, which He had not commanded them. [2] And fire came out from the presence of Yahweh and consumed them, and they died before Yahweh.

Lev 10:8-11 LSB - [8] Yahweh 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 separate between the holy and the profane, and between the unclean and the clean, [11] and so as to instruct the sons of Israel in all the statutes which Yahweh has spoken to them through Moses."

Lev 11:9 LSB - [9] 'These you may eat, whatever is in the water: all that have fins and scales, those in the water, in the seas, or in the rivers, you may eat.

Lev 11:45 LSB - [45] 'For I am Yahweh who brought you up from the land of Egypt to be your God; thus you shall be holy, for I am holy.'"

HE WILLS THAT I SHOULD HOLY BE

Words: Charles Wes­ley

He wills that I should ho­ly be;

That ho­li­ness I long to feel;

That full di­vine con­form­ity,

To all my Sav­ior’s right­eous will.

See, Lord, the tra­vail of Thy soul

Accomplished in the change of mine,

And plunge me, ev­ery whit made whole,

In all the depths of love di­vine.

Atonement After Giving Birth

Lev 12:8 LSB - [8] 'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

Luk 2:22, 24 LSB - [22] And when the days for their cleansing according to the Law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord ... [24] and to offer a sacrifice according to what was said in the Law of the Lord, "A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS."
