The Lord has been giving explicit instructions to Moses and Aaron concerning the manner in which he should be worshipped. In our reading today, the priestly ministry of the Levites begins when Aaron faithfully executes the burnt offering, sin offerings, and fellowship sacrifices. When he is finished, the glory of the Lord appears to all the people and fire comes from heaven to consume the offerings. Sadly, Aaron\u2019s sons decide to offer sacrifices as they see fit, rather than following the Lord\u2019s instructions. Their ingenuity earns God\u2019s wrath, and fire comes from the Lord once again, only this time it doesn\u2019t consume the sacrifice.
