LeviIcus 10:1-3 NKJV
1 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put
incense on it, and offered profane fire before the LORD, which He had not commanded
them.
2 So fire went out from the LORD and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
3 And Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke, saying: ‘By those who come
near Me I must be regarded as holy; And before all the people I must be glorified.’
Profane is “to treat something sacred with irreverence or disrespect.” It means to treat
what is holy as common or ordinary.
