Numbers 16:35-45

³⁵And fire went forth from the Lord, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

³⁶And the Lord said to Moses,

³⁷and to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, Take up the brazen censers out of the midst of the men that have been burnt, and scatter the strange fire yonder, for they have sanctified the censers

³⁸of these sinners against their own souls, and do you make them beaten plates a covering to the altar, because they were brought before the Lord and hallowed; and they became a sign to the children of Israel.

³⁹And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest took the brazen censers, which the men who had been burnt brought near, and they put them as a covering on the altar:

⁴⁰a memorial to the children of Israel that no stranger might draw near, who is not of the seed of Aaron, to offer incense before the Lord; so he shall not be as Core and as they that conspired with him, as the Lord spoke to him by the hand of Moses.

⁴¹And the children of Israel murmured the next day against Moses and Aaron, saying, You° have killed the people of the Lord.

⁴²And it came to pass when the congregation combined against Moses and Aaron, that they ran impetuously to the tabernacle of witness; and the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

⁴³And Moses and Aaron went in, in front of the tabernacle of witness.

⁴⁴And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

⁴⁵Depart out of the midst of this congregation, and I will consume them at once: and they fell upon their faces.
