Numbers 16:38-40

38As for the censers of these 1men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into hammered sheets for a plating of the altar, since they did present them before the Lord and they are holy; and 2they shall be for a sign to the sons of Israel.” 39So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers which the men who were burned had offered, and they hammered them out as a plating for the altar, 40as a 3reminder to the sons of Israel that 4no 5layman who is not of the 6descendants of Aaron should come near 7to burn incense before the Lord; so that he will not become like Korah and his company--just as the Lord had spoken to him 8through Moses.
