Interesting points on Nadav's and Avihu's demise. Before reading your commentary, I heard they were inebriated, they brought the incense at the wrong moment in service, they issued the halachic judgement opposing Moshe's, and they were not married. I also did not know Pinchas and Eliyahu HaNavi were the reincarnation of the two unfortunate brothers. Thank you. I enjoyed reading the article.

All those views are listed in the cited midrash, one chooses the readings that resonate
