Numbers 16:38-40

Expanded Bible

³⁸ Take the ·pans [censers; firepans] of these men who sinned and lost their lives, and hammer them into flat sheets that will be used to cover the altar. They are holy, because they were presented to the Lord, and they will be a sign to the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel].”

³⁹ So Eleazar the priest gathered all the bronze ·pans [censers; firepans] that had been brought by the men who were burned up. He had the ·pans [censers; firepans] hammered into flat sheets to put on the altar, ⁴⁰ as the Lord had commanded him through Moses. These sheets were to remind the Israelites that only ·descendants [^Lthe seed] of Aaron should burn incense before the Lord. Anyone else would die like Korah and his ·followers [community; congregation; assembly].
