Leviticus 10:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 So they dragged the dead men away by their clothes.
6 Then Moses told Aaron and his other two sons, Eleazar and Ithamar:
Don't show your sorrow by messing up your hair and tearing your priestly clothes, or the Lord will get angry. He will kill the three of you and punish everyone else. It's all right for your relatives, the people of Israel, to mourn for those he destroyed by fire. 7 But you are the Lord's chosen priests, and you must not leave the sacred tent, or you will die.
Aaron and his two sons obeyed Moses.

Leviticus 10:5-7
New International Version
5 So they came and carried them, still in their tunics,(A) outside the camp, as Moses ordered.
6 Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar,(B) “Do not let your hair become unkempt[a](C) and do not tear your clothes,(D) or you will die and the Lord will be angry with the whole community.(E) But your relatives, all the Israelites, may mourn(F) for those the Lord has destroyed by fire. 7 Do not leave the entrance to the tent of meeting(G) or you will die, because the Lord’s anointing oil(H) is on you.” So they did as Moses said.
