Numbers 16:39-41
Legacy Standard Bible
39 So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers which the men who were burned had brought near, and they hammered them out as a plating for the altar, 40 as a [a]memorial to the sons of Israel that (A)no [b]outsider who is not of the seed of Aaron should come near (B)to burn incense before Yahweh; so that he will not become like Korah and his congregation—just as Yahweh had spoken to him by the hand of Moses.
Grumbling and Plague
41 But on the next day all the congregation of the sons of Israel (C)grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You are the ones who have caused the death of the people of Yahweh.”

Numbers 16:39-41
New International Version
39 So Eleazar the priest(A) collected the bronze censers brought by those who had been burned to death,(B) and he had them hammered out to overlay the altar, 40 as the Lord directed him through Moses. This was to remind the Israelites that no one except a descendant of Aaron should come to burn incense(C) before the Lord,(D) or he would become like Korah and his followers.(E)
41 The next day the whole Israelite community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. “You have killed the Lord’s people,” they said.
