[[Father (EBD)|Father]] of Him; i.e., "worshipper of [[God (EBD)|God]]", the second of the sons of [[Aaron (EBD)|Aaron]] (Ex. 6:23; Num. 3:2; 26:60; 1 Chr. 6:3). Along with his three [[Brother (EBD)|brothers ]] he was consecrated to the [[Priest (EBD)|priest's ]] office (Ex. 28:1). With his father and elder brother he accompanied the seventy [[Elder (EBD)|elders ]] part of the way up the mount with [[Moses (EBD)|Moses]] (Ex. 24:1,9). On one occasion he and [[Nadab (EBD)|Nadab]] his brother offered [[Incense (EBD)|incense ]] in their [[Censer (EBD)|censers ]] filled with "strange" (i.e., common) [[Fire (EBD)|fire]], i.e., not with fire taken from the great brazen [[Altar (EBD)|altar ]] (Lev. 6:9, etc.), and for this offence they were struck dead, and were taken out and buried without the [[Camp (EBD)|camp ]] (Lev. 10:1-11; comp. Num. 3:4; 26:61; 1 Chr. 24:2). It is probable that when they committed this offence they were [[Drunk (EBD)|intoxicated]], for immediately after is given the law prohibiting the use of [[Wine (EBD)|wine ]] or [[Drink, strong (EBD)|strong drink ]] to the priests.
