Leviticus 8-9 are organized by repetition of phrases about Yahweh’s commandments. Everything in the ordination rite is done “as Yahweh commanded Moses” (8:5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 29, 36; 9:6, 7, 10, 21).
It works: When Israel does as Yahweh commands, the glory appears and eats the ascension and the fat. Yahweh eats with obedience people.
Then 10:1: “Nadab and Abihu . . . offered strange fire before Yahweh, which He had not commanded.”
Sin is breaking rhythm.
