Levítico 10:8 In-Context

6 Luego Mois茅s dijo a Aar贸n y a sus hijos Eleazar e Itamar: No descubr谩is vuestra cabeza ni rasgu茅is vuestros vestidos, para que no mur谩is y para que El no desate todo su enojo contra toda la congregaci贸n.

8 El SE脩OR habl贸 a Aar贸n, diciendo:
9 No beber茅is vino ni licor, t煤 ni tus hijos contigo, cuando entr茅is en la tienda de reuni贸n, para que no mur谩is (es estatuto perpetuo por todas vuestras generaciones),
10 y para que hag谩is distinci贸n entre lo santo y lo profano, entre lo inmundo y lo limpio,
