Numbers 16:38-40
Lexham English Bible
38 The censers of these who have sinned[a] at the cost of their lives, let them be made into gilded leafing plating for the altar; because they presented them before Yahweh,[b] they are holy; and they will be a sign for the Israelites.’”[c] 39 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers that the ones who were burned presented, and they hammered them out thinly as plating for the altar; 40 it was a memorial for the Israelites,[d] so that no strange man[e] who is not from the offspring[f] of Aaron should approach the presence of Yahweh to burn a smoke offering;[g] he will not be like Korah and his company, just as Yahweh had spoken to him by the hand of Moses.[h]
