Numbers 16:38-40
English Standard Version
38 As for the censers of (A)these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, for they offered them before the Lord, and they became holy. (B)Thus they shall be a sign to the people of Israel.” 39 So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burned had offered, and they were hammered out as a covering for the altar, 40 to be a reminder to the people of Israel, so (C)that no outsider, who is not of the descendants of Aaron, should draw near to burn incense before the Lord, lest he become like Korah and his company—as the Lord said to him through Moses.

38 the censers of the men who sinned at the cost of their lives.(A) Hammer the censers into sheets to overlay the altar,(B) for they were presented before the Lord and have become holy. Let them be a sign(C) to the Israelites.”
39 So Eleazar the priest(D) collected the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned to death,(E) and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar, 40 as the Lord directed him through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one except a descendant of Aaron should come to burn incense(F) before the Lord,(G) or he would become like Korah and his followers.(H)
