Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Abihu in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper Hebrew name specific to the Old Testament context. However, the name may appear transliterated in Greek texts or Septuagint versions as Ἀβιού (Abiou).

Usage: Abihu is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a son of Aaron, the brother of Moses.

Context: Abihu is a significant figure in the Old Testament, known as one of the sons of Aaron, the first high priest of Israel. He is mentioned in several passages, including Exodus 6:23, Leviticus 10:1-2, and Numbers 3:2-4. Abihu, along with his brother Nadab, was consecrated as a priest to serve in the tabernacle. However, in Leviticus 10:1-2, Abihu and Nadab offered "unauthorized fire" before the LORD, which He had not commanded them. As a result, fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD. This incident underscores the importance of obedience to God's commands, especially in matters of worship and priestly duties. Abihu's story serves as a cautionary tale about the holiness required in approaching God and the severe consequences of disobedience.
