A couple of hot events

Things got hot the day that God consecrated Aarón and his sons as priests.

This, from the final verse of Leviticus chapter nine.

And fire came out from before the Lord

and consumed the burnt offering and the pieces of fat on the altar,

and when all the people saw it, they shouted and fell on their faces. 

Lev 9.24

Hmmm,

I wonder if Aaron’s son Nadab and Abihu were paying attention.

I would guess not, because the next two verses say:

Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it

and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD,

And fire came out from before the LORD and consumed them,

and they died before the LORD. 

Lev 10.1-2
