Leviticus

Leviticus 10:8–11

⁸Then the LORD said to Aaron, ⁹“You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink when you enter the Tent of Meeting, or else you will die; this is a permanent statute for the generations to come. ¹⁰You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the clean and the unclean, ¹¹so that you may teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses.”
