40 just as the Lord instructed him through Moses. This was a reminder for the Israelites that no outsider who isn’t one of Aaron’s descendants should approach to burn incense in the Lord’s presence, so as not to be like Korah and his community.
41 On the next day the entire Israelite community complained to Moses and Aaron, "You killed the Lord’s people."
42 When the community assembled against Moses and Aaron, they turned toward the meeting tent. At that moment the cloud covered it, and the Lord’s glory appeared.
43 Moses and Aaron came to the front of the meeting tent,
44 and the Lord spoke to Moses:
45 Get away from this community, so that I may consume them in an instant.They fell on their faces,
46 and Moses said to Aaron, "Take the censer, put fire from the altar on it, place incense on it, go quickly to the community, and seek reconciliation for them. Indeed, the Lord’s anger has gone out. The plague has begun."
