Literatura ng Ikalawang Templo sa Levitico 10:6: On Dreams

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֣ה אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֡ן וּלְאֶלְעָזָר֩ וּלְאִֽיתָמָ֨ר ׀ בָּנָ֜יו רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֥ם אַל־תִּפְרָ֣עוּ ׀ וּבִגְדֵיכֶ֤ם לֹֽא־תִפְרֹ֙מוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א תָמֻ֔תוּ וְעַ֥ל כָּל־הָעֵדָ֖ה יִקְצֹ֑ף וַאֲחֵיכֶם֙ כָּל־בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל יִבְכּוּ֙ אֶת־הַשְּׂרֵפָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר שָׂרַ֥ף יְהוָֽה׃

At sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron at sa kanyang mga anak na sina Eleazar at Itamar: “Huwag ninyong pabayaang humaba ang buhok ng inyong ulo, at huwag ninyong punitin ang inyong mga kasuotan, upang hindi kayo mamatay at upang hindi Siya magalit sa buong kapulungan. Ngunit ang inyong mga kapatid, ang buong sambahayan ng Israel, ang tatangis sa pagsunog na ginawa ng Walang-Hanggan.

On Dreams

[67] On the other hand Moses will not suffer Nadab and his brother, those holy principles, to be mourned (Lev. 10:6). They were not seized by a savage, evil beast, but were taken up by a rush of fire unquenchable, by an undying splendour, since in sincerity they cast aside sloth and delay, and consecrated their zeal, hot and fiery, flesh-consuming and swiftly moving, to piety, a zeal which was alien  to creation, but akin to God. They did not mount by steps to the altar, which the law had forbidden (Ex. 20:26), but wafted by a favouring breeze and carried even to the revolving heavens were there like the complete and perfect burnt offering resolved into ethereal rays of light.
