And Eleazar the priest took the brass censers, with which those who were burnt had offered; and they were made into wide plates for a covering of the altar:
And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said to him, It does not belong to you, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for you have trespassed; neither shall it be for your honor from the LORD God.
These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, removed from the priesthood.
The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make of them wide plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.
To be a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger, who is not of the descendents of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.
