Immediately after these men were consumed by fire from him; out of the same cloud from whence that proceeded, he spoke:

Numbers 16:36 In-Context

34 At their cries, all [the people of Israel] who were around them fled because they thought, "The earth may swallow us too!"

35 Fire also came out from the Lord and consumed the 250 men who were presenting the incense.

36 Then the Lord spoke to Moses:

37 "Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the firepans from the burning debris, because they are holy, and scatter the fire far away.

38 As for the firepans of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, make them into hammered sheets as plating for the altar, for they presented them before the Lord, and the firepans are holy. They will be a sign to the Israelites."
