Numbers 16:39-41
Lexham English Bible
39 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers that the ones who were burned presented, and they hammered them out thinly as plating for the altar; 40 it was a memorial for the Israelites,[a] so that no strange man[b] who is not from the offspring[c] of Aaron should approach the presence of Yahweh to burn a smoke offering;[d] he will not be like Korah and his company, just as Yahweh had spoken to him by the hand of Moses.[e]
The Israelites Grumble
41 The next day all the community of the Israelites[f] grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of Yahweh!”

EasyEnglish Bible
39 So Eleazar took the 250 pots and he used the bronze metal to cover the altar. 40 Then the Israelites would remember not to do what Korah and his group did. Only people from the family of Aaron could burn incense on the Lord's altar. God would punish anyone else, like he punished Korah and his men. The Lord had given this command through Moses.
41 But on the next day, all the Israelites together complained against Moses and Aaron. They said, ‘You have killed the Lord's people!’
