(liberal).
•The eldest son of Aaron and Elisheba. Exod 8 13 Numb 3:2. (B.C. 1490.) He, his father and brother,
and seventy old men of Israel were led out from the midst of the assembled people, (Exodus 24:1)
and were commended to stay and worship God “afar off,” below the lofty summit of Sinai, where
Moses alone was to come near to the Lord. Subsequently, (Leviticus 10:1) Nadab and his brother
were struck dead before the sanctuary by fire from the Lord. Their offence was kindling the incense
in their censers with “strange” fire, i.e. not taken from that which burned perpetually, (Leviticus
6:13) on the altar.

the king was slain by Baasha, a man of Issachar.
