Numbers 16:36 In-Context

34 All Israel around them fled at their outcry, for they said, "The earth will swallow us too!"
35 And fire came out from the Lord and consumed the two hundred fifty men offering the incense.
36 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
37 Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to take the censers out of the blaze; then scatter the fire far and wide.
38 For the censers of these sinners have become holy at the cost of their lives. Make them into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, for they presented them before the Lord and they became holy. Thus they shall be a sign to the Israelites.
