[[Image:Lev 10 - the sin of nadab and abihu.jpg|250px|right]]'''Nadab''' ([[Hebrew]] '''נָדָב֙''', liberal) (2479 AM–ca. 10 Zif 2514 AM) (1526 BC-May 26, 1490 BC) was the firstborn son of [[Aaron]] and [[Elisheba]]. His brothers were [[Abihu]], [[Eleazar (son of Aaron)|Eleazar]], and [[Ithamar]]. Unhappily, he and his brother [[Abihu]] committed an infraction of their sacerdotal duties that cost them their lives.

James Ussher estimates the date of this incident as the tenth day of the second month, i.e. 10 Zif 2514 AM, or May 26, 1490 BC. Nadab and Abihu took coals from their own hearths, instead of the brass altar, and then filled their censers with these coals and use them to offer holy [[incense]] in the [[Holy of Holies]]. The two brothers ought to have known better, because they had traveled with their father Aaron to [[Mount Sinai]] and had seen the glory of God for themselves.<ref name=Ussher4>Ussher, ''op. cit.'', pghh. 227-228</ref> ({{Bible ref|book=Exodus|chap=24|verses=1,9-10}})

God responded immediately and killed both men on the spot with fire from heaven.
