So Where are we… • From our Last Class. – We looked at the So Where are we… • From our Last Class. – We looked at the death of Nadab and Abihu because they had offered strange fire. – We saw that Aaron had said nothing when God struck them dead. – But later when Aaron and his two remaining son did not eat of the sacrifice – Moses reprimanded them, Aaron stood up and explained their reasons. – Aaron I believed changed because of this event. – For Aaron this event was a pivotal event that was to stay with him for the rest of his life.
