Uncle Moses lost his temper with me and my brother Ithamar today. The same day we lost Nadab and Abihu. Over a goat: it was meant to be eaten by us priests, and we’d burned it instead.

Aaron’s son. Priest. Wears the clothes now.
Third of Aaron’s four sons, made a priest with him at the tent. I lost two brothers on the day the fire came. I stood next to my father for forty years in the desert, and I was with him at the top of Mount Hor.

Dad answered for us. Look at what’s happened to him today, he said. Would the LORD really have been pleased if he’d sat down and eaten it? Moses heard that and let it go.
The LORD’s calendar, for anyone planning ahead: 1. Every seventh day, the Sabbath. 2. Passover. 3. A week of bread without yeast. 4. The first sheaf of the harvest. 5. New bread, fifty days on. 6. Trumpets. 7. The Day of Atonement. 8. A week living in shelters.
Every fiftieth year is the Jubilee. The trumpet goes on the Day of Atonement, everyone’s declared free, and every family goes home to the land they had to sell.
Went up Mount Hor with my father and Moses. At the top, Moses took my father’s priestly clothes and put them on me. And my father died there.
Moses and I counted everyone again. Not one man from the first count at Sinai is on this list. Except Caleb and Joshua.
Feast of Shelters: thirteen bulls, then twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven. Seventy bulls in a week.
