Numbers 16:39 in Context — Numbers 16

37 Dis à Éléazar, fils du sacrificateur Aaron, de retirer de l’incendie les brasiers et d’en répandre au loin le feu, car ils sont sanctifiés.

38 Avec les brasiers de ces gens qui ont péché au péril de leur vie, que l’on fasse des lames étendues dont on couvrira l’autel. Puisqu’ils ont été présentés devant l’Éternel et qu’ils sont sanctifiés, ils serviront de souvenir aux enfants d’Israël.

39 Le sacrificateur Éléazar prit les brasiers d’airain qu’avaient présentés les victimes de l’incendie, et il en fit des lames pour couvrir l’autel.

40 C’est un souvenir pour les enfants d’Israël, afin qu’aucun étranger à la race d’Aaron ne s’approche pour offrir du parfum devant l’Éternel et ne soit comme Koré et comme sa troupe, selon ce que l’Éternel avait déclaré par Moïse.

41 Dès le lendemain, toute l’assemblée des enfants d’Israël murmura contre Moïse et Aaron, en disant: Vous avez fait mourir le peuple de l’Éternel.
