So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD. Moses then said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke of when he said:
‘Among those who approach me
I will show myself holy;
in the sight of all the people
I will be honored.’ ”

Aaron remained silent.

Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here; carry your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.” So they came and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses ordered.

The only story that jumps out to me right now would be the concubine in Judges.

But if it’s not, I don’t think I want your hint.. I may not want to have another unpleasant scene brought to my mind :)

[Hebrews 11:6]

The raped and chopped-up concubine did not generate enough art, understandably, to warrant a post, so I was spared from deciding....

You are very wise to spare yourself from dwelling on this other awful story. Having skipped portraying it, nonetheless I do reread it when I reach it again.
