They had four sons in total, the younger two sons being named Eleazar and Ithamar. During the Exodus journey, after the Israelites' affirmation of their covenant with God, Abihu and Nadab accompanied Moses, Aaron, and 70 elders up Mount Sinai. There they saw God with great clarity, walking on a pavement of sapphire stone, and shared a meal in God's presence, without being harmed as a result.Recalling - And the Lord said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to gaze at the Lord, and many of them perish".
