He was a member of the tribe of Levi, which was set apart for priestly duties. Abihu's brothers were Nadab, Eleazar, and Ithamar (<a href="/exodus/6-23.htm">Exodus 6:23</a>).<br><br><b>Role and Duties:</b> As a son of Aaron, Abihu was consecrated as a priest to serve in the tabernacle. He, along with his brothers, was part of the priestly lineage that was responsible for performing sacrifices and maintaining the sacred rituals as outlined in the Mosaic Law.<br><br><b>Significant Events:</b><br><br>1. <b>Consecration as Priest:</b> Abihu was consecrated as a priest along with his father Aaron and his brothers. This event is detailed in <a href="/bsb/exodus/28.htm">Exodus 28-29</a>, where God provides specific instructions for the garments and the anointing of the priests.<br><br>2. <b>The Sin of Nadab and Abihu:</b> Abihu is most notably remembered for the incident involving "unauthorized fire" or "strange fire" before the LORD. In <a href="/leviticus/10.htm">Leviticus 10:1-2</a> , it is recorded: "Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them, and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to His command. So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD." This act of disobedience resulted in their immediate death, serving as a stern warning about the holiness required in worship and the importance of adhering to God's commands.<br><br>3. <b>Aftermath and Instructions:</b> Following the death of Abihu and his brother Nadab, Moses instructed Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, not to mourn in the customary way, as this was a divine judgment (<a href="/leviticus/10-6.htm">Leviticus 10:6-7</a>). The incident underscored the sanctity of the priestly office and the necessity of following divine instructions precisely.<br><br>4. <b>Prohibition of Alcohol for Priests:</b> In the aftermath of this event, God gave a commandment through Moses that priests should not consume wine or strong drink when they enter the tent of meeting, suggesting that intoxication may have played a role in Abihu's and Nadab's transgression (<a href="/leviticus/10-8.htm">Leviticus 10:8-11</a>).<br><br><b>Legacy:</b> The account of Abihu serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of reverence and obedience in worship. His actions and the subsequent divine response highlight the seriousness with which God views the conduct of those who serve in His presence. Abihu's legacy is a reminder of the need for holiness and the consequences of deviating from God's prescribed ways.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abihu</span><p>he is my father<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abihu</span><p>(<i>he (God) is my father</i>), the second son, (<a href="/numbers/3-2.htm">Numbers 3:2</a>) of Aaron by Elisheba.

As this is immediately followed by the prohibition of wine to the priests when ministering in the tabernacle, it is not improbable that Nadab and Abihu were intoxicated when thus transgressing. Their death is a solemn warning not to presume to worship God except with incense kindled at the one altar which Christ hath sanctified, <a href="/context/hebrews/10-10.htm">Hebrews 10:10-14</a>. It is a dangerous thing, in the service of God, to decline from his own institutions. We have to do with a God who is wise to prescribe his own worship, his to require what he has prescribed, and powerful to avenge what he has not prescribed. </p><a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Father of Him; i.e., "worshipper of God", the second of the sons of Aaron (<a href="/exodus/6-23.htm">Exodus 6:23</a>; <a href="/numbers/3-2.htm">Numbers 3:2</a>; <a href="/numbers/26-60.htm">26:60</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/6-3.htm">1 Chronicles 6:3</a>).

With his father and elder brother he accompanied the seventy elders part of the way up the mount with Moses (<a href="/exodus/24-1.htm">Exodus 24:1</a>, 9).
