016:038 even the censers of these sinners against their own lives;
and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar:
for they offered them before Yahweh; therefore they are holy;
and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.
016:039 Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who
were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering
of the altar,
016:040 to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that
no stranger, who isn't of the seed of Aaron, comes near to burn
incense before Yahweh; that he not be as Korah, and as his company:
as Yahweh spoke to him by Moses.
016:041 But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel
murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have
killed the people of Yahweh.
016:042 It happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses
and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting:
and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yahweh appeared.
016:043 Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
016:044 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
016:045 Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them
in a moment. They fell on their faces.
016:046 Moses said to Aaron, Take your censer, and put fire therein

016:047 Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly;
and behold, the plague was begun among the people:
and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
016:048 He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
016:049 Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and
seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.
016:050 Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the tent of meeting:
and the plague was stayed.
017:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
017:002 Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods,
one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according
to their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write you every man's
name on his rod.
017:003 You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there
shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
017:004 You shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony,
where I meet with you.
017:005 It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall choose
shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings
