Leviticus 10:1
Verse 1 of 20. The 10th of 27 chapters in Leviticus, in The Law.
1And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.
2And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
3Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
4And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
5So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.

All the account here given of it is that they offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not (v. 1), and the same Num. iii. 4. 1. It does not appear the they had any orders to burn incense at all at this time.
