Following Death of Nadav and Avihu
Hashem spoke to Moshe following the death of Aaron's two sons. Nadav and Avihu had died after entering the Kodesh HaKodashim in attempt to draw too close to Hashem. Moshe was instructed to warn Aharon not to enter the Holy in a prohibited manner to avoid a similar death as his sons.[1]
Yom Kippor Service
Hashem told Moshe to instruct Aharon that he should not enter the Kodesh HaKodashim, past the curtain dividing the Araon from the Ohel Moed so he should not die the way his sons died[2]. If he does enter except with the cloud of incense on Yom Kippur,[2] he will die[2] since Hashem's pillar of cloud and Divine Presence[2] are revealed over the ark cover.
Yom Kippor Requirements
Aharon and any High Priest that follows must do the following service on Yom Kippor in order to enter the Holy of Holies.
- Bring a young bull for a Chatas sin offering
