Numbers 16:39-41

Good News Translation

³⁹ So Eleazar the priest took the fire pans and had them beaten into thin plates to make a covering for the altar. ⁴⁰ This was a warning to the Israelites that no one who was not a descendant of Aaron should come to the altar to burn incense for the Lord. Otherwise he would be destroyed like Korah and his men. All this was done as the Lord had commanded Eleazar through Moses.

Aaron Saves the People

⁴¹ The next day the whole community complained against Moses and Aaron and said, “You have killed some of the Lord's people.”
