Numbers 16:35-38

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁵ Then a fire came from the Lord and destroyed the 250 men who were offering the incense.

³⁶ The Lord said to Moses, ^37-38 “Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to get all the incense pans from the fire. Tell him to scatter the coals and ashes. These men sinned against me, and their sin cost them their lives. But the incense pans are still holy. The pans became holy when people gave them to the Lord. Hammer the pans into flat sheets. Use the metal sheets to cover the altar. This will be a warning to all the Israelites.”
