모세가 아론과 그 아들 엘르아살과 이다말에게 이르되 너희는 머리를 풀거나 옷을 찢지 말아서 너희 죽음을 면하고 여호와의 진노가 온 회중에게 미침을 면케 하라 오직 너희 형제 이스라엘 온 족속이 여호와의 치신 불로 인하여 슬퍼할 것이니라
Zohar
The firstborn Nadab stands on his own merits and Abihu rests on his own, that each one are considered in the eyes (of the Torah) as both Elazar and Itamar (combined). But Nadab and Abihu by themselves are each considered equal to the seventy members of the Sanhedrin who served before Moses. For this reason, their deaths atoned for Yisrael. Therefore, it is written, "But let your brethren, the whole house of Yisrael bewail the burning" (Vayikra 10:6). Rabbi Shimon said: "Nadab the firstborn," meaning he is the one that all acclaim and praise are his. How much more so with Nadab and Abihu (together), because these two have no equal among all Yisrael.
