“These are the names of Aaron\u2019s sons: Nadav the first-born, Avihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. These are the
\nnames of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests who were consecrated to be priests. \u00a0But Nadav and Abihu died before the Lord when they offered alien fire \u2026” (Numbers 3:2-4)<\/span><\/p>\n

that’s all

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> and without the leap;<\/span><\/p>\n
