Numbers 16:39-40
New American Standard Bible
39 So the priest Eleazar took the bronze censers which the men who were burned had offered, and they hammered them out as plating for the altar, 40 as a reminder to the sons of Israel so that (A)no [a]layman, anyone who was not of the [b]descendants of Aaron, would approach (B)to burn incense before the Lord; then he would not become like Korah and his group—just as the Lord had spoken to him [c]through Moses.

New International Version
39 So Eleazar the priest(A) collected the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned to death,(B) 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(C) before the Lord,(D) or he would become like Korah and his followers.(E)
