16:36 (17:1) 2 The Lord spoke to Moses: 16:37 “Tell 3 Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to pick up 4 the censers out of the flame, for they are holy, and then scatter the coals of fire 5 at a distance. 16:38 As for the censers of these men who sinned at the cost of their lives, 6 they must be made 7 into hammered sheets for covering the altar, because they presented them before the Lord and sanctified them. They will become a sign to the Israelites.” 16:39 So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers presented by those who had been burned up, and they were hammered out as a covering for the altar. 16:40 It was a memorial for the Israelites, that no outsider who is not a descendant of 8 Aaron should approach to burn incense before the Lord, that he might not become like Korah and his company – just as the Lord had spoken by the authority 9 of Moses.
