Numbers 16:38-40

Living Bible

³⁸ from the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives. He shall then beat the metal into a sheet as a covering for the altar, for these censers are holy because they were used before the Lord; and the altar sheet shall be a reminder to the people of Israel.”

³⁹ So Eleazar the priest took the 250 bronze censers and beat them out into a sheet of metal to cover the altar, ⁴⁰ to be a reminder to the people of Israel that no unauthorized person—no one who is not a descendant of Aaron—may come before the Lord to burn incense, lest the same thing happen to him as happened to Korah and his associates. Thus the Lord’s directions to Moses were carried out.
