- Leviticus 9
Aaron and the rest of the priest started doing their work. Various offerings were done.
- Then Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle, and when they came back out, they blessed the people again, and the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole community. Fire blazed forth from the LORD's presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground. (vv. 23-24)

- Leviticus 10
Nadab and Abihu did not follow the prescribed ways of doing the offerings. In front of God's holy face, such imperfections are not pleasing to God. In His holiness, he only accepts 100% of everything that He instructed. Anything that falls short are not acceptable. Knowing that God is holy, do we also have what it takes to be perfect in holiness? The answer is an unfortunate no. So what then would it take for us to be made holy? Look at Who died on the cross and try to guess whose imperfections did He atoned for. And try to figure also why He was called the Lamb of God in light with the Jewish sacrifices and offerings.
