What does 'strange fire' mean in Leviticus?

Answered in 1 source

'Strange fire' refers to unauthorized worship practices that go against God's commands, resulting in severe judgment, as seen with Nadab and Abihu.

'Strange fire' symbolizes any form of worship that deviates from God's explicit commands. In the case of Nadab and Abihu, their attempt to introduce an unauthorized element in worship led to their immediate death as a divine judgment. This incident underscores the necessity of approaching God with reverence and adherence to His prescribed means of worship, reminding believers that only through the prescribed sacrifice of Christ can we rightly worship and find acceptance before God.
