“And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s office in the sight of Aaron their father.”
And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD when they offered strange fire before the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai — the death of Aaron's firstborn sons demonstrates the severe consequences of unauthorized worship and presumption. The loss of the two eldest sons illustrates that priestly privilege brings proportional responsibility; those closest to the holy are subject to the most stringent judgment.
