Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aaron, lie fallen beside their censers after offering unauthorized fire before the Lord. A priestly figure in white garments and an embroidered ephod sits amid smoke and heavenly flame, his face marked by shock and grief as the judgment of God descends within the sacred setting of the tabernacle service. The spilled incense vessels and sweeping fire emphasize the holiness required in worship and the danger of approaching God on human terms rather than according to His command. Drawn from Leviticus 10, the scene presents a sobering moment in Israel’s priesthood: God is to be sanctified by those who draw near to Him. This artwork is suited for teaching on reverence, priestly ministry, worship, obedience, judgment, and the holiness of God.
