Numbers 16:37-50 - The Atonement For The Rebellion

37 "Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest and let him take up the censers out of the burning and scatter the fire here and there, 38 for the censers of these sinners are hallowed in their deaths: and let them be beaten into thin plates and fastened upon the altar. For they offered them before the LORD, and therefore they are holy and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel."

39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers which they that were burnt had offered, and beat them and fastened them upon the altar, 40 to be a remembrance unto the children of Israel, that no stranger which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer cense before the LORD, that he be not made like unto Korah and his company: as the LORD said unto him by the hand of Moses.

41 And on the morrow all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying, "Ye have killed the people of the LORD." 42 And when the multitude was gathered against Moses and Aaron, they looked toward the tabernacle of witness; And behold, the cloud had covered it and the glory of the LORD appeared.

43 And Moses and Aaron went before the tabernacle of witness. 44 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 45 "Get you from this congregation, that I may consume them quickly." And they fell upon their faces.

46 And Moses said unto Aaron, "Take a censer and put fire therein out of the altar, and pour on cense, and go quickly unto the congregation and make an atonement for them. For there is wrath gone out from the LORD, and there is a plague begun." 47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded him, and ran unto the congregation: and behold, the plague was begun among the people, and he put on cense, and made an atonement for the people. 48 And he stood between the dead, and them that were alive, and the plague ceased. 49 And the number of them that died in the plague, were fourteen thousand and seven hundred: beside them that died about the business of Korah. 50 And Aaron went again unto Moses, unto the door of the tabernacle of witness, and the plague ceased.
