Leviticus 10:5So they drew near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp, as Moses had said.
The setting
Sinai Peninsula, ~1445 BC. Outside the camp. Two cousins carry the bodies of Nadab and Abihu away from the sacred space, still wearing their priestly garments...
The emotion here: recording the simple dignity of faithful service
The original word
kuttonet (כֻּתֹּנֶת) — the long priestly tunics, still on their bodies
Why it matters
They carried them in their coats because touching the bodies directly would make the carriers unclean
