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