Shnayim Yomi - Shemini - Shlishi - #3 - Rabbi Yosef Palacci - The Tragedy of Nadav and Avihu

What happens is they're very excited. Nadav and Avihu they see what's going on and they they were second. Moshe and Aaron were the greatest and second in command was Nadav and Avihu. That's was Aaron's sons, two of his sons. And they're very excited. They say, "We want we got to get in action." They go ahead and they say, "Where's the holiest place in the in in in the Mishkan? Where is it?" Kodesh Kodashim. What's the holiest korban over there? You have the ketoret. So, they said they're going to go bring the ketoret. They did it they did it ahead without without permission, right? If they would have asked Moshe and Aaron would have stopped them. Whoa, without permission we can't do that. They went ahead they brought it but they cuz they they they needed it so bad cuz they saw so much kedusha at that moment. They said, "We want in the revelation of this kedusha." Put it in and Hashem said, "Listen, they were they were chayavei mitah. That that that had to have to happen. Now, there's many different reasons but one of the things is they did it without permission and Hashem sent out four strands of fire. It's brought down. Four strands of fire like and it went straight. Two of them went in the nostrils of Nadav and Avihu. Burnt the insides. And the other one the other two Nadav and Avihu two, Nadav two and Avihu two, both of them. And they they automatically died. Now, nobody's allowed to go in the Kodesh Kodashim. So, angels came and actually they they went ahead and they angels from shamayim they pulled them out and Mishael and Elzaphan they went out. Moshe said, "You guys bury him." Now, this was a big event and Bnei Yisrael were in total shock. And the most person that was in shock is Aaron. But, it's brought down. What was the reaction of Aaron? The reaction of Aaron it says Vayidom Aaron. Got to tell No complaints. No complaints. The the the the the the complete silence. Hashem, this is your decree? He he had no control. I don't have no control over it. This is what you wanted? I accept "B'lev shalem." "Vayidom Aharon." No no no no no. No saying anything else. And because of that, it's brought down right after Hashem directly in the pasukim, speaking to Aharon, not through Moshe. Aharon Aharon. Why? Hakadosh Baruch Hu loves when a person has emunah, but I'm going to say another word, sheleimah. There's emunah and there's emunah sheleimah. Right? "Ani ma'amin b'emunah sheleimah b'viyat Hamashiach." You don't say "Ani ma'amin b'emunah." "B'emunah sheleimah." Let's put emunah. Aharon took this and understood that Nadav and Avihu they went out and they did a korban korban in the Shulchan Kodashim, the ketoret. They weren't supposed to Hashem killed them. They were supposed to die. This was meant to happen at this moment, THE EXACT MOMENT, AND THIS IS WHERE they died? Aharon says, "I accept 'B'lev shalem.'" Hashem says, "I see the emunah sheleimah so strong. You're going to get a major reward." And he got rewarded. Shechinah spoke directly to Aharon.
