4. Mosebok 3,4

2 Arons sønner var Nadab, den førstefødte, Abihu, Eleasar og Itamar.

3 Dette var navnene på Arons sønner, de salvede prestene, som ble ordinert til å tjene som prester.

Men Nadab og Abihu døde i Herrens nærvær da de bar fram uautorisert ild for Ham i Sinai-ørkenen; og de hadde ingen sønner. Så Eleasar og Itamar tjente som prester i løpet av deres far Arons levetid.

5 Herren talte så til Moses og sa:

6 "Før Levi stamme fram og still dem framfor Aron, presten, for at de kan hjelpe ham.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
