*
And there came out a fire from the LORD ,
and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest ,
that he take up the censers out of the burning ,
and scatter thou the fire yonder ;
for they are hallowed .
*
The censers of these sinners against their own souls ,
let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar :
for they offered them before the LORD ,
therefore they are hallowed :
and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel .
*
And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers ,
wherewith they that were burnt had offered ;
and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar :
*
To be a memorial unto the children of Israel ,
that no stranger ,
which is not of the seed of Aaron ,
come near to offer incense before the LORD ;
that he be not as Korah ,
and as his company :
as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses .
*
But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron ,
saying ,
Ye have killed the people of the LORD .
*
And it came to pass ,
when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron ,
that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation :
and ,
behold ,
the cloud covered it ,
and the glory of the LORD appeared .
*
And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Get you up from among this congregation ,
that I may consume them as in a moment .
And they fell upon their faces .
*
And Moses said unto Aaron ,
Take a censer ,
and put fire therein from off the altar ,
and put on incense ,
and go quickly unto the congregation ,
and make an atonement for them :
for there is wrath gone out from the LORD ;
the plague is begun .
*
And Aaron took as Moses commanded ,
and ran into the midst of the congregation ;
and ,
behold ,
the plague was begun among the people :
and he put on incense ,
and made an atonement for the people .
*
And he stood between the dead and the living ;
and the plague was stayed .
*
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred ,
beside them that died about the matter of Korah .
*
And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation :
and the plague was stayed .
