Abihu

The second son of Aaron the Priest. Abihu served as a priest under his father until he offered &quot;strange fire&quot; before God with his older brother Nadab (Leviticus 10.1). When he offered this fire God sent forth a fire that utterly consumed both Nadab and Abihu. Before his death Abihu went with the seventy elders of Israel when they went with Moses and saw the God of Israel (Exodus 24.9-11).

In Hebrew his name is &amp;#1488;&amp;#1489;&amp;#1497;&amp;#1492;&amp;#1493;&amp;#1488; [â€™Abiyhuwâ€™ / abÂ·eeÂ·hoo]. This is a compound word meaning, &quot;He is my father,&quot; or more literally, &quot;My father is he.&quot; It comes from the words &amp;#1488;&amp;#1489;&amp;#1497; (my father) and &amp;#1492;&amp;#1493;&amp;#1488; (&lt;i&gt;Third Masculine Singular Pronoun&lt;/i&gt;: he).
