16 And Moses said to Korah, “Be present, you and all your company, before the Lord, you and they, and Aaron, tomorrow. 17 And let every one of you take his censer and put incense on it, and every one of you bring before the Lord his censer, 250 censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer.” 18 So every man took his censer and put fire in them and laid incense on them and stood at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron. 19 Then Korah assembled ^tall the congregation against them at the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of the Lord ^uappeared to all the congregation.

35 And ^efire came out from the Lord and consumed the 250 men offering the incense.

36 ¹ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 37 “Tell ^fEleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers out of the blaze. Then scatter the fire far and wide, for they have become holy. 38 As for the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, for they offered them before the Lord, and they became holy. Thus they shall be a ^gsign to the people of Israel.” 39 So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burned had offered, and they were hammered out as a covering for the ^haltar, 40 to be a reminder to the people of Israel, so that ⁱno outsider, who is not of the descendants of Aaron, should draw near to ^jburn incense before the Lord, lest he become like Korah and his company—^kas the Lord said to him through Moses.
