Levítico 10:8-11

Ley sobre el culto y el licor

8 El SEÑOR le dijo a Aarón:

9 «Ni tú ni tus hijos deben beber vino ni licor cuando entren en la Tienda de reunión, pues de lo contrario morirán. Este es un estatuto perpetuo para tus descendientes,

10 para que puedan distinguir entre lo santo y lo profano, y entre lo puro y lo impuro,

11 y puedan también enseñar a los israelitas todos los estatutos que el SEÑOR les ha dado a conocer por medio de Moisés».
