37“Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the censers from the flames and to scatter the coals far away, because the censers are holy.
38As for the censers of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, hammer them into sheets to overlay the altar, for these were presented before the LORD
39So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned up, and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar,
40just as the LORD
41The next day the whole congregation of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You have killed the LORD
42But when the congregation gathered against them, Moses and Aaron turned toward the Tent of Meeting, and suddenly the cloud covered it and the glory of the LORD
43Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Tent of Meeting,
44and the LORD
45“Get away from this congregation so that I may consume them in an instant.” And Moses and Aaron fell facedown.
46Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, place fire from the altar in it, and add incense. Go quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, because wrath has come out from the LORD
47So Aaron took the censer as Moses had ordered and ran into the midst of the assembly. And seeing that the plague had begun among the people, he offered the incense and made atonement for the people.
48He stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.
49But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.
50Then Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, since the plague had been halted.
