Nadab
and
Abihu
Toasted!
(Levi&cus
10:
1-20)
In
Lesson
#5
we
saw
Aaron
and
his
four
sonsNadab,
Abihu,
Eleazar
and
Ithamarordained
for
the
priesthood,
and
we
learned
the
importance
of
ritual
in
establishing
the
signicance
of
their
ordina&on
and
of
emblazoning
it
on
our
collec&ve
memory.
We
also
learned
that
the
priestly
ordina&on
followed
a
3-stage
movement:
1)
2)
3)
When
Aaron
and
his
sons
emerge
from
their
7-day
isola&on
in
the
Tent
of
Mee&ng
they
are
full-edged
priests,
and
the
oerings
they
make
on
the
altar
are
consumed
by
a
ash
of
divine
re
from
the
glory
of
the
Lord
that
hovers
over
the
Holy
of
Holies. With
that
act,
the
Tabernacle
and
the
priesthood
are
fully
opera&onal,
and
the
gap
between
sinful
humanity
and
God
is
bridged.
Approaching
God
as
a
representa&ve
of
the
people
requires
me&culous
a\en&on
to
form
and
ritual,
following
exactly
the
procedures
that
God
has
established.
One
does
not
enter
Gods
sacred
space
lightly!
