10:1 Then Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, each took his fire pan and put fire in it, set incense on it, and presented strange fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them to do.
10:2 So fire went out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them so that they died before the Lord.

between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean bird and the clean, and you must not make yourselves detestable by means of an animal or bird or anything that creeps on the ground – creatures
I have distinguished for you as unclean.
Jeremiah 15:19
15:19 Because of this, the Lord said,
“You must repent of such words and thoughts!
If you do, I will restore you to the privilege of serving me.
If you say what is worthwhile instead of what is worthless,
I will again allow you to be my spokesman.
They must become as you have been.
You must not become like them.
Haggai 2:11-13
2:11 “The
Lord who rules over all says, ‘Ask the priests about the law.
2:12 If someone carries holy meat in a fold of his garment and that fold touches bread, a boiled dish, wine, olive oil, or any other food, will that item become holy?’”
The priests answered, “It will not.”
2:13 Then Haggai asked, “If a person who is ritually unclean because of touching a dead body
comes in contact with one of these items, will it become unclean?” The priests answered, “It will be unclean.”
