\v 36 The LORD said to Moses, 
\v 37-38 “Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to get all the incense pans from the fire. Tell him to scatter the coals and ashes. These men sinned against me, and their sin cost them their lives. But the incense pans are still holy. The pans became holy when people gave them to the LORD. Hammer the pans into flat sheets. Use the metal sheets to cover the altar. This will be a warning to all the Israelites.” 
\p
\v 39 So Eleazar the priest gathered together all the bronze pans that the men had brought. These men were all burned up, but the pans were still there. Then Eleazar told some men to hammer the pans into flat metal. Then he put the metal sheets on the altar. 
\v 40 He did this the way the LORD commanded him through Moses. This was a sign to help the Israelites remember that only someone from the family of Aaron should burn incense before the LORD. Any other person who burns incense before the Lord will die like Korah and his followers. 
\s1 Aaron Saves the People 
\p
\v 41 The next day all the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron. They said, “You killed the LORD’S people.” 
\p
\v 42 Moses and Aaron were standing at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. The people gathered together at that place to complain against Moses and Aaron. But when they looked toward the Meeting Tent, the cloud covered it and the Glory of the LORD appeared there. 
\v 43 Then Moses and Aaron went to the front of the Meeting Tent. 
\p
\v 44 The LORD said to Moses, 
\v 45 “Move away from these people so that I can destroy them now.” So Moses and Aaron bowed with their faces to the ground. 
\p
\v 46 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Get your bronze pan and some fire from the altar. Then put incense in it. Hurry to the people and do the things that will make them pure. The LORD is angry with them. The trouble has already started.” 
\p
\v 47-48 So Aaron got the incense and the fire, and he ran to the middle of the people. But the sickness had already started among them. So Aaron stood between the dead and those who were still alive. He did what Moses said to remove their sin, and the sickness stopped there. 
\v 49 But 14,700 people died from that sickness—and that is not counting the people who died because of Korah. 
\v 50 So the terrible sickness was stopped, and Aaron went back to Moses at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.
